China Brings the HAHA- Minister of Justice- WTF?

Posted by w_thames_the_d on November 1, 2011


W?hile perusing the local ‘news’ I came across a funny. According to this site, China has a minister of Justice…wtf?
Hmm, if this person is a ‘minister of justice’, I wonder how China defines the term. Surely it is not just that China spend over $50 million a day bribing her officials and that 80% of all knockoff goods come from here is it?

Or, is it just that the blind lawyer who China has illegally put under house arrest is still being held unlawfully, as well as the Nobel prize winner from last year?
Hmm, China has a good sense of humor…

Chinese Cops Bust Porn Ring

Posted by w_thames_the_d on November 1, 2011


Some cops in China busted a porn ring. They found ‘photographers’ taking pics of dozens of nude Chinese girls. The girls, or ‘models’ as they are known were looking to make it to the big time, so they posed for some pics
The photographers, known as perverts or ‘lucky bastards’ would pay the women about 20 U$ or the equivalent of a happy ending for the shots- pardon the pun.

Here is the story, but as for me, I’m off to buy some lighting equipment and run an ad…..

The State of Dating in China

Posted by w_thames_the_d on November 1, 2011


Here is a snippet from chinasmack.com The article is about foreigners dating Chinese. The idea is that young Chinese like to get face’ pardon the pun, and love to do foreigners. I am not really into typical Chinese women, but can attest to the fact that the women here are definitely not shy. To me the problem is that so many of them are emotianlly retarded so its usually not worth it. Considering places like Brazil, where real women are the norm, I just think that 99.9999% of these women are lost.

I have had a great deal of sucess with the Married birds here. Most of them are so discusted by their worthless Chinese husbands they are easy targets. All they want is good sex, someone who showers regurarly and can last more than 2 minutes in the sack. I was recently with a housewife 2 weeks ago and she complained that her husband always came home trashed, wanted to have sex and blew his wad in nano seconds. Most time though we would just come home and pass out drunk. I have had countless housewives like this. Picking up single Chinese women is very easy as well. I Funny, when I Eat at the Y, most of them are like, OMG, where has this been all my life…, that keeps them comming back for more, as their worthless BF and husbands wont head south of the border…”

Explosion in Guizho China

Posted by w_thames_the_d on November 1, 2011


China had an explosion today in Guizho. I have no idea if it was intentional, but they say it was big. The blast was caused by a vehicle carrying caustic substances that was parked near a place with explosives (as if i could be less clear). The redders are being tight lipped, but it looks pretty sketchy.

Judicial Corruption in China

Posted by w_thames_the_d on November 1, 2011


From here (Judicial Corruption and its Threats to National Governance in China Eric Chi-yeung Ip1):

” This is even more obvious in the People’s Republic, where the law is
openly mandated to serve political ends; courts are institutionally answerable to the
legislature and subject to the leadership of the CCP. It is extremely difficult to insulate
courts from corruption in the bureaucratic arena. Invisible political interests infiltrate freely
and directly into the process of judicial decision making in many ways (Jagtenberg, 2000).”

China Meth and Red Tea

Posted by w_thames_the_d on November 1, 2011


I dont like tea. I really don’t know why our neighbors across the pond are so fond of it. To me the brackish color and seedy look of a glass filled with the stuff is stomach turning, to say the least.

Every so often, however, your humble author will imbibe in the stuff, lest the locals assume me to be ‘uppity’. The other day, for instance, i quaffed a hunk of the finest red tea that Yunan has to offer. Yunan, for those of you who don’t know, used to be beautiful. It was filled with weed smoking foreigners looking to escape from China, while escaping from reality. Unfortunately for them, however, the Han Chinese have discovered things like cars and mass transportation and turned the land into a dump, much like they do most everything here. but i digress..

Ok so I took a hunk of this Yunan tea that was shaped like the yin and yang. The hunk was maybe too big for the stuff lasted all day. i never got used to the taste, as it was not unlike sucking on a D cell battery. The ‘boost’ , however, was intense. I was bouncing off the walls till 4 am from that stuff.

Maybe the Chinese are onto something, instead of a country of meth addled blue collars, they could wire them up with some Yunan red tea goodness,,,,,,

Rant on Why We Do Not Hear About the Reality of China

Posted by w_thames_the_d on November 1, 2011


Rant from Brewskie on why the mainstream press does not keep us informed about the reality of China….
From the Big Brew….
“Wow! A large mainstream US news outlet FINALLY caught wind of Chinese counterfeits!!?? Special ed. must finally be working its magic here; I’ve been wrong about the dismal US public education system all along! I’m sure for the fortune we flushed down in Iraq – a monumental amount that would supply us with all the ADD drugs we need to improve our thought process: addarell, strattera and methamphetamines (the all-American, all-blue collar drug of choice, baby) – the rest of the US press retards would be on the ball on my single battle cry against the “Chinese miracle”: the castles in the sky made of sandy concrete; or what you might know as bridges, turnpikes… whatever. Anybody whose read my rants know what the fuck I’m talking about.

Eventually, the US press has to catch whiff of the odorous Chinese infrastructure (and no, the high-speed rail network doesn’t count). Give it a couple of years.”
