Following up on our post earlier today featuring a naked man riding a bicycle, here’s a naked woman walking down Culture Lane yesterday evening in Kunming, Yunnan province. Key of China Hush brings us this picture via ifeng. As Key reports: Netizens made fun, this foreign woman “expressed her bossiness”, “This world is too crazy, at least wear... Read more »
Michael Jackson impersonators abound in China (one of the more famous ones is Master Zhang Hongliang [video], often seen around the popular night districts in Beijing), but I haven't seen one quite this young. In Yibin, Sichuan province, seven-year-old Chen Zeyang attracted quite the crowd recently by dancing to Smooth Criminal. His five-year-old brother apparently loves MJ as well -- here are the two of them in action. The two reportedly practice while watching the King of Pop of pop on TV, and everything they do is self-learned. The Youku video description tells us Chen wants to be a professional impersonator or MJ dancer/choreographer when he grows up.
Was a note proving injury all that was required to get the world’s No. 1 badminton team of Yu Yang and Wang Xiaoli reinstated after their high-profile disqualification for match-fixing (and the DQs of three other teams)?

The dramatic rescue was caught on film by Liu Duo, who told a TV station (video embedded after the jump) that several people on shore saw the woman in trouble but no one thought they could beat the waves.

We've seen the consequences of drivers who confuse accelerators for brakes, which are sometimes awful, but never anything as jaw-dropping as this. In Ningbo, Zhejiang province on July 26, a red car plows into a woman and child riding an electric bike, and for whatever reason, the car doesn't stop until it hits a wall.
