As any healthy male knows, the desire to masturbate on an airplane can be OVERWHELMING. Yet who among us is willing to take matters into his own hands? I'll tell you: Cathay Pacific business travelers, that's who.
On September 17, Next Media Animation in Taiwan got a tip that passengers on Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific flights were, if not exactly encouraged to, allowed to join their own one-man Mile High clubs.
Yiliang county, Yunnan province was hit by massive landslides yesterday that buried 19 people, including 18 children, and killed at least 10. A TV news show on Shanghai-based Dragon TV, amid an informative segment about the where/what/when of the matter, plopped in a rather... distracting depiction of the landslide. Take a gander for yourself.
Around 8 am yesterday, Zhenhe Village in Yiliang county, Zhaotong city, Yunnan province got hit by a devastating landslide measuring 10,000 cubic meters, according to China Daily. Nineteen people — 18 of whom were primary school students — were buried, and so far 10 are confirmed dead. Update: They’re all dead. Yiliang is the same county that... Read more »
Gawker Network's io9 has compiled a list of "27 of the most insane martial arts battles ever filmed," and would it surprise anyone that most of these were filmed or set in China?
It's a great list, of course, and if you like martial arts / kung-fu, you'll lose many minutes of your day going through the videos. But one clip you'll not find is this from Dunken Master 2, and that seems like somewhat of an oversight:
In Fu’an, Fujian province on Tuesday, a pair of men publicly declared their love by holding an outdoor wedding that drew “countless eyeballs,” according to the video description. Of course, China doesn’t recognize same-sex marriages or civil unions, so the display was merely symbolic. But it was a sweet display nonetheless. In January 2010, AFP... Read more »
The person who took this video was out with his colleague on Sunday in Tianjin when he saw two men steal a woman's phone and attempt their getaway on a motorcycle. Our videographer was in his car, mind you, so he did what any person would: pursue. Pursue recklessly, if need be. The chase ends with him knocking down the thieves' motorcycle, but it wasn't exactly mission accomplished. As he writes in the video description: "My colleague and I got out of our car to intercept them, but no one else helped the two of us stop the two thieves, so we couldn't overtake them. Later my colleague and I dialed the police at 110."
If you're going to take a trip to the Shaolin Temple in Zhengzhou, Henan province, you might as well bring along your Wu-Tang knowledge. Wu-Tang Clan fans, this one's for you.
Video directed by Alessio Avezzano, starring Aaron Garcia and Jacob Butler.
A zoo in Wuhan, Hubei province is offering humans the chance to test their strength against tigers. The newscast tells us that tigers win most of the time, proving definitively that when you come face-to-face with a tiger in the wild, don't challenge it to a game of winner-take-all tug-of-war.
A zoo official says that one day, caretakers put a rope in the tiger pen and discovered that the animals loved playing with it. Their next logical thought: human-tiger tug-of-war.
We now know that the bus that crashed on the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangu Highway on Monday, killing five German passengers and one Chinese, was carrying a delegation of doctors and medical students from southern Bavaria. There were 19 German tourists plus their Chinese tour guide and driver.
The accident occurred when the bus apparently rear-ended a large shipping truck. Once the bus caught fire, there was really nothing anyone could do except run from the flames.
Found on Liveleak last night, this disturbing scene from a kindergarten in Guangzhou shows a 20-something female teacher lifting a four-year-old and throwing her onto the ground because she wouldn’t do her exercises. The child, Yao Yao, suffered a “major” head injury, according to the newscast. The teacher, apparently unaware that young children shouldn’t be... Read more »
