Sometimes it takes being followed on Twitter to find a hidden gem. The above video, produced by Lebogang Rasethaba and Gabriel Clermont, came to my attention after Clermont followed @beijingcream. It's sweet.
Tickets are NOT available for tonight’s CBA finals opener from the MasterCard Center (formerly Wukesong), so if you aren’t going, you might as well read links. (The game starts at 8 pm.)
Wonder no more. Via Reddit (h/t E), here is a gallery of pictures (excerpted after the jump) supposedly from a “Chinese gangsters phone” [sic]. The images are timestamped August 2010, and according to Reddit’s eagle-eyed commenters, one of the cars has a Tianjin license plate. We don’t know anything else. The main character appears to...

Less racist than Hyundai's commercial, some would say. Although really, Hyundai's commercial is not racist. Let's chill a bit with the R word, alright? The term has begun to lose meaning due to overuse. American culture almost has to invent new ways to differentiate between different levels of racism, kind of like what Inuits do with snow.

But as is, real racism now has to be designated "racistest" (or something), and a comment like "Asians are good at math" is "raci"... instead of, you know, true.

My only question had been: Who drives fast enough on a completely deserted ring road at 4 am and crashes? The answer: probably someone very rich... Read more »
Calling visual artists and filmmakers in Beijing: please find yourself inspired by the above by Jake Fromer (his first YouTube video, it appears) and produce something similar. If you need further inspiration, here's Can Evrenol's hutong tour de force, and here's Tim Quijano's paean to the Chinese crepe.
I’ve made you wait long enough. After the jump you’ll find the promo video for the 37th Miss Bikini International 2012 along with more pictures. Who cares if there’s a chance they’re all Russian? The Miss Bikini International Pageant seems to have an official-looking website (MissBikini.cc), but it’s hard to navigate, probably because it was designed for... Read more »
