Ultimate Surrender is a website featuring “competitive female sexual wrestling,” and in bold font on its frontpage, it notes that it is “for adults only.” NSFW, if you need it spelled out for you. Not safe for an ostensible news organization, then.
Xinhua either does not know this or does not care, because on the front of its “Odd News” section today, it used a smaller version of the above picture to promote a slideshow called “Crazy women fighters.” Some more images are after the jump, and while it’s possible that at least a couple of them are screenshots from sexually explicit videos (porn), nothing quite compares with Image No. 4 (again, above). Note that the “source” is listed as “www.chinanews.com,” while the watermark on the lower right-hand corner of the picture has been blurred out. I don’t think Xinhua understands what the word “source” means. We’ve seen Xinhua do inexplicable things before, but rarely have they been so explicit with their cluelessness.
Ultimate Surrender is blocked in China, by the way, unlike these porn sites. CORRECTION, 8:51 pm: I was in a land of Free Internet when I typed the last sentence, and GreatFire.org gave some inaccurate info. Ultimate Surrender is indeed not blocked in China.

Not true.
@Jason Confirmed….about 5 times today.
Interesting… five happens to be how many free daily previews they give away.
