i challenge you to a personality contest
i generally avoid reading the chinese media … because, well, it’s the chinese media. but during lunch yesterday at rendezvous cafe — my new favorite shanghai slop house — i happened to glance at a china daily. and now, dare i say it, i think i might be addicted … because, well, it was hilarious. unlike most newspapers, state-run chinese newspapers aren’t bogged down with real news stories. they don’t confuse readers by offering two sides to every story. hell, sometimes they don’t report on stories at all — thus saving readers valuable time.
all this free space allows chinese newspapers to print some pretty weird shit. the onion ain’t got nothing on these guys.
