Ever been throttled by the Net Nanny in China while doing a simple Google search? Your IP gets cut (or gagged? dick-vised? Sorry, I'm not familiar with Internet's more technical terms) and you're unable to use Google for up to a minute or more.

Via Reddit, here’s a movie poster for a Chinese rom-com called Love in the Buff, a sequel to Love in a Puff. While we eagerly await its sequel, Red-Bean Duff: Steamed-Bun Love, let us pause a second to muse over the brilliance of the lavender-pink font.

Here's video of a hamster that plays dead when his owner pretends to shoot him with his finger. The video was posted on Sina only yesterday at 11 am, but it's already received nearly 372,000 views there, not to mention 5,127 forwards on the Sina Weibo page of @YouTube萌宠 as of this moment.

We just gave you our take on Topless New York, a Kickstarter Project that (desperately) needs your help.
