Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.

It's a shame they had to use a girl with such small mosquito bites to paste the flag over :^(
Dear web site about media and advertising, it is worth mentioning that this is viral advertising campaign for BrandVoice, a branding firm based in Guangzhou.
Nationalism, Nakd Girls, and Financial Woes. Something for everyone.
that guy's necklace is so effete that i almost thought he was a woman there for a second.
Dror:
That's why I wrote "The mock ad seems to have been produced by a Guangzhou ad agency" and linked the agency's website.
Give a naked woman some useful implements and a purposeful look and people will joke that she looks like a man. Pre... dict... ab-... Oh no, wait - they're just insulting her breast size! Sorry :)
