Foxconn, the troubled company that manufactured your iPhone, has decided to show the world once more what a great employer it is. As you know, it has been plagued by several worker suicides, which impacted worker morale (and share prices) a bit. So an obvious way to tackle this annoying issue is by organizing a rally named “Treasure Your Life, Love Your Family, Care for Each Other to Build a Wonderful Future.” Foxconn, fuck yeah! Kudos to PR firm Burson-Masteller for coming up with this superb idea. And please dear reader, before you start criticizing these two organizations and dismiss the above as a cheap publicity stunt, have a look at the below picture and let these smiles warm your heart: (more…)
A secret video has been released, giving us an inside look at the Chinese government’s torture tactics. For years, prisoners have been forced to watch videos of this nature in an attempt to extract information by sickening them into confessions. Most prisoners couldn’t watch past a couple of minutes before they cracked. Those who showed resilience were subjected to more callous measures: a live viewing of the subject matter found in the videos. If the prisoner continued to endure the torture without any signs of relenting, they were then compelled to perform sexual acts on the talent such as toe-licking and anal thumbing. Consider yourself warned! If you can make it to the end of the below video clip, perhaps you should consider a career change into espionage: (more…)

But before you fanboys and fangirls go flocking to your nearest retailer, you might want to check out this animated video first. Sure, you’ve heard about the antenna problems, and you’ve no-doubt read our insightful post on the employee suicides at Foxconn, the company that manufactures the device. This clip however sets its sights directly at Apple head-honcho Steve Jobs – and perhaps rightly so. The outspoken CEO outraged customers when he dismissed concerns about the phone’s antenna issues, saying that users were simply holding the handsets incorrectly.
We all have that rich friend that we expect to pay for things simply because he or she has more money than we do. Sometimes they do and all is good in the world. But sometimes they don’t pony up, and that’s when life stops being fun and starts getting real! In this scenario, China is the wealthy friend, and the lowly Konger, here represented by tour guide “Ah Zhen”, is the poor friend. In the clip below, her 5 minute rant accurately sums up the angst of this once great colony that now has to kow-tow (see what I did here?) to their suddenly wealthy hill-billy neighbors.
Last month we shared some titillating snapshots of China’s homage to the World Cup with you. This month, we’re proud to report that while the tournament might be drawing to a close, erotic tributes to the event are by no means over. Here’s a selection of the latest: (more…)
