Chairman Mao Would Certainly Approve

In general, any form of exercise, if pursued continuously, will help train us in perseverance. -Mao Tse-Tung

Pole dancing has become the newest personal fitness trend in China, and of course the New York Times is all over the story.

Clad in knee-high leather boots, spandex shorts and a sports bra, Xiao Yan struck a pose two feet off the ground, her head glistening with sweat and her arms straining as she suspended herself from a vertical pole.

“Keeping your grip is the hardest part,” she said. “It’s really easy to slide downward.”

Ms. Xiao, 26, who works as a supermarket manager, is one of a growing number of women experimenting with China’s newest, and most controversial, fitness activity: pole dancing.

Controversial? They aren't even showing the goods! Wait until these tightasses get a good look at the women start doing their thing on the uneven bars in a few weeks. Now that shit could get a girl in trouble.
