We've reached out to the guys who shot the video -- Canadians from WorldstarHipHop, as they make abundantly clear in the video -- to see if we can get more info. It's a nasty fight, if one can call it that, with a clear survivor. There are no winners.
"Someone pull him off," someone says while the guy who's standing, bloody all over, continues connecting on kicks to the defenseless man on the ground.
"It's done, it's done, you've won, you've won," someone else says, beginning to sound desperate.
Shaq is a spokesman for Harbin Beer while Tracy McGrady shills for Sedrin. Who's better in their respective ads, shown back-to-back in the above?
I think I've had Sedrin before, but it obviously was not very memorable. Also, the name reminds me of sleep medicine. Harbin, meanwhile, is absolutely non-notable in every way. I'd call it "insipid," but that's much too fancy a description for such a bland, bland thing.
See update below. The news hook is in the title, but you should know it’s a sham. Although Sexy Mandarin really now is Spicy Mandarin (which just created a Facebook page like five hours ago), I just needed an excuse to post the above video, slightly NSFW, which reminds me of Xiao Li. I’m still... Read more »
Only two weeks ago, a reckless Chinese driver in Singapore plowed into a side of a taxi, killing both cab passengers and himself (GIF credit: Alicia). We now have more of the same. (And in case you needed a reminder — there’s a lot of the same.) On Shenzhen’s Binghai Road on Saturday around midnight, a... Read more »
Last Sunday at about 2 pm, according to the timestamp in the raw footage captured by CCTV cameras, a truck driver in Heng County, Guangxi province pushed his way into a toll booth and assaulted the operator for what he perceived to be slow service. It's a dastardly act, and not just because he's a meathead and she's an overmatched woman.
The Chinese elsewhere will do that too. As will I. And other Asians. They don’t have to be Asians though. Basically, everybody everywhere loves taking pictures of food. Ah, just go to the damn site already. (H/T Alicia)
Note to developers and demolition crews: don’t think you can destroy a person’s home without a fight. Last year, Yang Youde kept bulldozers at bay by constructing a homemade cannon. Earlier this month, a woman killed herself and two local officials with a bomb. For basically as long as houses have been razed, people have resisted, and the latest example is possibly the best: Mr. Zhou, a 70-year-old pensioner decked in camo, hurls petrol bombs at trespassers in the above video, refusing to vacate his home to greedy developers and their multimillion-yuan project.
(H/T Katie) Disputes happen on the streets all the time, but there’s always a bad way to resolve conflicts and a better way. The example here, from Chengdu, represents the former. I don’t want to speculate. But I see what I see, and others, surely, will as well: a white man spits in the face... Read more »
