August 19 – August 25
Please allow us to introduce Chug-Off for Charity’s judges. A police officer slammed a seven-month-old infant to the ground on a drunken bet. Lots of foreign correspondents partied it up in Jinan, Shandong province, where the Bo Xilai trial began this week.
Speaking of Bo Xilai: everyone followed the trial on Sina Weibo. Here’s the man himself, and here’s his wife giving a video testimony.
A man in Anyang, Henan province randomly stabbed lots of bus passengers, killing three. Check out this photo of mainland tourists taking photos in front of a photo. Mike Tyson is now on Sina Weibo, and calling out chengguan.
A Washington DC panda gave birth over the weekend. Watch out for cockroaches — all 1 million of them, newly escaped — in Dafeng, Jiangsu province. Stephon Marbury probably will be coach of Chinese basketball someday. And will this help men pee better?
Comment of the Week:
Beijing Cream says it's "Mardi Gras" for foreign journalists in Jinan. I must be in the wrong Jinan. http://t.co/ne3nHzwEs7
