Sexual Harrassment?- No Thats Just China- How Chinese Hire Workers

Posted by w_thames_the_d on December 1, 2010


These are photos from chinasmack.com, and it comes from a ‘job fair’ in China. These supposed professionals are being interviewed for jobs by lecheaous china-men, or CEOs’

My take:

This event is not what you may think , nor anyone who lives in a normal country may think.

This is how Chinese hire their female workers- no shit…according to chinasmack, these ladies pictured, are partaking in a ‘job fair’. I dont mean jobs in KTVs as a ‘rub and tug specialist’, but supposedly all of these women are ‘interviewing’ for legitimate business jobs in China. The lecherous perverts, I mean, the men in the audience, are CEO’s of Chinese companies who are looking for a little help….

As a man, our first reaction is, cool where do I sign up to partake in the interview process. But if you think about it, this is pretty skanky. Skanky for the women as well as the guys doing the ‘interviewing’. Think about it like this, if the women are subjected to this type of treatment before they get a job, imagine what the ‘CEOS’ do with them, to them , once they are hired.

So, the next time you sit down with your Chinese business associates, and they invite the ‘newest member of their staff’, or ‘newest staff member to touch their member’ or newest staff member to touch their staff- you will know how it is that this woman got her job.

I’m just glad my mom and sister aren’t from here. Can you imagine having your family go through with this just to get a job?

My Photo Site

Posted by w_thames_the_d on December 1, 2010


Ok, I’ve now added a photo site. Its http://justchinaphotos.wordpress.com/

or click here.

This site wont change; I really want to upload all my pics and if I did it on this site then you’ d have to scroll through a ton of junk to get to the pics or scroll through a ton of junk to get to my thoughts, so this is a good compromise. The other site will have few if any words.

if you want to know about a photo, just ask.

To make it easier, I have cleverly labeled the photos like ‘108759’…

Re-blog, Another Public Pisser

Posted by w_thames_the_d on December 1, 2010


Re-blog from puddingandchopsticks.com

read this story, here is part:
“I hit up the local store yesterday to purchase some goods. This is a major store, Carrefour. A French chain. They have lots of things including imported items that I like to get from time to time. So I was turning down an isle that contained the cleaning supplies. The isle is more like a open space in a sense. It’s a big space where lots of people are. I noticed a grandma bent over a little kid.

They were standing in front of a mop bucket that is used to test out the mops. Filled with water you can grab a mop and give it a go. I assume it’s to test the over all quality of the mops before you buy. Makes sense. But what doesn’t make any sense is what the grandma and little kid were doing.”

I Have a Ton of Photos of China

Posted by w_thames_the_d on December 1, 2010


This is true, I literally have over 3000 photos of this place, so I been thinking. I doubt I will ever post each photo and then put some snarky barbs beneath it, so quite possibly, I will make anther wordpress site just for photos. In that way people can see the pics without my comments or bs (bullshit) or they can come here and get a dose of both. I am close to acting on this and will let you know if I do it. As a matter of fact, I have no idea why I am typing this post as to you the reader it is actually useless. I am going to hit the ‘send’ button now and post it anyway.

File This Under Class Act Part II- Public Pisser in China

Posted by w_thames_the_d on December 1, 2010


After watching the lady take her burden out to potty, I returned to my plate of tasty rice with a zesty sauce. Remember, I went back to the same restaurant from whence she’d come, the one with a functional restroom she chose not to use.

I guess this day I was particularly devilish and took a few more shots of the lady and her transgressions. She seemed kind of upset with me, I think she knew what was up. When she returned she looked at me like, ‘asshole’, my look to her was something like. ‘miss piggy’.

File this Under “Class Act”- Public Pisser in China , Part 1

Posted by w_thames_the_d on December 1, 2010


To me, these shots typify China. I was at a fast food joint and enjoyiung some rice when this lady here got up on a hurry and rushed out of the place. Me, being the kind of guy I am, knew what was up and followed her. Chinese love their food so typically dont leave restaurants if they dont have to. Because I have lived here long enough, I figured that lady had to take her little burden/child out to pee, poop or both, and i was not disappointed.

Here she is, showing her little child how to be a contributing member of society, he is actually fertilizing the dead tree that graces the park.

The really bizarre thing about this event, for anyone who doesnt live in China, is that fact that this woman left a restaurant, with a perfectly good restaurant, to take her kid outside of the restaurant to go to the bathroom.

The restaurant has a perfectly good toilet, so I actually counted and the woman took about 21 strides to take the kid to potty, when all she had to do was take 9 to the indoor toilet in the place in which she was eating….

How many Chinese Does it Take to Plug in a Light Bulb?

Posted by w_thames_the_d on December 1, 2010


How many Chinese Does it Take to Plug in a Light Bulb?

Too many. Lets see (actually this isnt a light bulb, but close.) Ok it takes about ten. You need one guy to stand around and bad mouth the guy doing the work, call him lazy or dumb and a capitalist sympathizer, then another to oversee this belittling of said worker, then one more just because you have 1.3bn people. Then you have the guy next to the worker who will ensure quality at every aspect while watching the latest episode of Prison Break, on his Ipod Nranro. Of course, behind the scenes are no less than 5 chicom officials at the local ktv getting some mud for their duck- they cannot be photographed, they are special…..
