I mean, his pronunciation is very good, but his word usage is pretty primitive…

After his career as a TV extra fizzled out, Kos-Read bought a camera and became a faux-tographer (lamely trying to pass off TV sets as “real” China; just look at his Flickr set).

And when his photography career failed, he started Beijing Cream to live off the ad revenue (having blown all his acting money on low-class Beijing gold-diggers) AND as a platform to vent against all the expat magazines (most notably The Beijinger) who have spurned him in the past.

Beijing Cream also serves to keep Jonathan Kos-Read’s name nostalgically visible (note how many Beijing Cream posts slyly reference him in a disparagingly tongue-cheek manner).

We can’t really blame the guy; he’s a washed-up actor with no friends and plenty of expat enemies – no thanks to his vain, shyte attitude.

But I AM surprised that nobody else has outted him yet, because it’s obvious to anyone with a brain and a little knowledge of Beijing expat culture that Anthony Tao is Cao-Cao’s alias.

JKR: I’ll thank you to man-up, grow a pair, and NOT delete this comment!

It’s also funny how much you care.

Out of curiosity I read TN’s response to China’s take on America’s human rights record. I found it funny from almost beginning to end.

Can’t say the same for this useless article.

Not only is this uncalled for, but it’s unfunny. This is the shittiest thing I’ve ever read on BJC, a site I was coming to more and more often for odd news, authoritative updates and a humorous narrative style.

Tar Nation lacks that humorous narrative style. The piece reads lousy from end to end.

Anthony Tao, if you run this site (you seem to post more than everyone else), why are you bringing its quality down by letting people Tar Nation post? Do yourself a favor and implement some editorial discretion so that BJC remains a site people keep coming back to.
