http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/18/AR2006021800554.html Definately the weirdest news I've heard since early last week and now here's some highlites of the banlist. Block the road and demand back pay Pollution lawsuit Police chase after and kill police The Central Propaganda Department is the AIDS of Chinese society Buy corpses Cashfiesta Cat abuse Fetus soup Foot and mouth disease No Friendlies Top ten worst cities No. 1 evil cult in the world Run the opposite direction of the so-called ideals of Communism Steal people's painstaking work Truth, Compassion, Tolerance Indonesia Tsunami Bug Chinese People Tell the Truth Chinese People Justice and Evil
Ironically, when I saw this thread it was right over top of the one about Axl Rose's Chinese Democracy album.
I got an e-mail today from Brashing R. Television who asked me, in the e-mail, "You like cashfiesta in No Friendlies? Foot in mouth disease! Bug bring you Block the road and demand back pay enlarge your member! Run the opposite direction of the so-called ideals of Communism for fetus soup! THANKS!!"
Once again the PRC shows its incapability of translation... Seriously... They simply cannot translate a lot of English into Mandarin Chinese... And when they do, you get this kind of stuff... But at least they've moved away from the thought that all Westerners understand Pinyin, which is romanized Chinese... I remember I was on a train once in China and there was a sign that said "Qing wu yong shui..." Which means "Please don't use this water..." But they thought Westerners would understand the Pinyin since it was using the western alphabet... Needless to say, westerners travelling on that train were using that water...
