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.

Comments on Korean news website seeking contributions
What's the point of Koreans going to Beijing if they don't serve Kay Goh Gee during the games???
So I can write an article actually praising the Olympic dog meat ban in Beijing and make more than 50 cents for my post?
"Kam sa hom ni da!"
(That means 'thank you very much" in Korean.)
