Going For Gold At The Peasant Olympics
You didn't think that China spent $500 million of our hard-earned mortgage debt on the Bird's Nest just so some namby pamby athletes could run around inside it for two weeks and then let it sit empty, did you? There are plenty of other athletic contests that can be held there. Like the popular and entertaining Peasant Olympics. Yes, that's right—the Olympics ... of peasants. More » -

Today's Drunken Ping Pong Karaoke Peeing Incident Brought To You By China
This story has it all: Ping Pong, drunken urination, karakoe, and of course at the center of it all a man named Wang Hao. Wang, who is China's most famed table tennis player, was involved in an altercation with a security guard on Thursday when the guard tried to stop him from urinating outside of a karaoke club. Now that's about 100 hilarity points right there, but there's more. Wang, while fighting with the guard, allegedly uttered the following quote, sure to become a classic: More » -

Spain Beats China In Overtime As "Slit-Eye" Picture Controversy Grows
Thanks to Pau Gasol's 29 points the Spanish team overcame a 14 point deficit to send the game into overtime tied at 72. Then, much to the chagrin of millions of angry Chinese, Spain overcame karma and pulled out an 85-75 victory. But not before their team picture exploded into controversy. To such a degree that the Spanish press are going out of their way to defend the team. More » -

Surprisingly, All The Porn Comes In Fine
So, you're in Beijing right now, still waiting for Fire Joe Morgan to load? Don't hold your breath, comrade. As we mentioned earlier, some web sites which members of the foreign media are attempting to access in China are mysteriously failing to show up. Censorship? Surely not. Except that the International Olympic Committee has just admitted that's exactly what it is. And they're complicit. More » -

Chinese Bar Owners Sign Pledge Not to Serve Blacks, Mongolians?
The report originated in Hong Kong's South China Morning Post and is, evidently, not a joke. I'm not an expert on the SCMP but it's evidently a reputable newspaper in Hong Kong. We've linked to the blog post discussing Miller's article because you have to subscribe to the newspaper to read some of their online articles. Including this one. Perhaps some of our overseas commenters can provide more information on the newspaper. Per Tom Miller of the SCMP: More » -

China Has Addressed Our Pooping Needs
Breaking news in the Beijing Olympics controversy: They're fixing the toilets. I've prayed for this day (dabs at eye with hankie). It makes sense. The Chinese government realized that if it wants the Olympics to run efficiently, then it needs to address this pressing issue. Simply put, American athletes will put up with a little Tibetan monk gassing, but they refuse to squat! More » -

Yao's Untraditional Rehab
In one of those stories that we're sure is being blown out of proportion but just can't help but pile onto anyway, it appears that people within the Houston Rockets — who apparently, in the midst of a 16-game winning streak, need something to worry about — are concerned that Yao Ming's rehabilitation is being handled in the wrong way. That is to say: It's being handled by the Chinese government, which is using "traditional Chinese treatment methods. More » -

The Beijing Olympics Will Be Scary Safe. But Safe. Or Scary.
The Chinese are pulling out all the stops to ensure that the impending Summer Olympics are free of one of those embarrassing international incidents that countries tend to try to avoid. Chief on their list, evening before reducing that pesky pollution problem that will probably kill all the athletes, is preventing a terrorist attack during the games.
