Esteemed blog administrators:

I humbly request that you delete all of my above comments, for I am apparently guilty of the charge of “shameless self-promotion.”

It seems that some people ’round here have such a fragile self-identity that they cannot bear to read of others’ accomplishments, however fleeting, and find that it utterly ruins their day.

I, for one, have no desire to inflict such misery upon the lives of others. Mea culpa! Forgive me comrades, for I have sinned!

What time is my next self-criticism session? Long live the Revolution!

Pop culture takes in people ALL THE TIME and holds them up as saviours of causes. Some people know what’s up, some don’t. Frankly Ai Wei Wei has a big mouth, but the guy isn’t wrong.

It also doesn’t matter that no one liked what Kanye Said, the point is no one said he disrespected and entire nation because he said it.

I don’t think you know what hyperbole means. I told you to watch CNN and fox news and you will see plenty of talk that slams the government and country. I’m not going sit here and list specific examples for you because there are too many. ALso, if I did, your argument would then be that I was cherry picking incidents.

And, btw, I’m not ignoring all the faults of western media – I’m sticking to the topic at hand. Should I start off on some tangent about sensationalist news compromising the true purpose of the news instead of talking about your point about western media being hard on China? No, I shouldn’t. It’s called a fucking focus.

But you keep on that typical propagandist path of getting upset for all the things I didn’t say instead of addressing what I did say. Jesus, talk about lazy.

It would go mostly unremarked, even by those in the audience. (Quote my sister, “Bradley who?”) WLH doesn’t exactly have a US following besides.
