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.

"Jissbon Stadium"
Stadium name: Hooters Birds Nest
Entrance name: 可口可乐入口
"Jissbon Stadium" ---HUNXUER
Hahahahahaha. Hilarious. The name of that company is funny by itself but the product they sell is ever funnier. Think of the marketing options there. If it rains they could cover the roof or the field with a giant rubber. At Philadelphia Phillies games they shoot hot-dogs out of these hot-dog cannons...what would the Jissbon Stadium shoot? Ice cream maybe? Mayonnaise? Jissbon needs to hire Hunxuer for branding.
Nao Bai Jin Stadium.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, SGT SLAUGHTER :^)
I'll let you be in on the hiring process for the first wave of "Jissbon Girls"...

Why not the Jissbon Boys"? Seriously, just kidding....DEFINITELY the "Jissbon Boys". And in keeping with my white trash style of living let's add a utility shed next to the press box, cook all of our concessions in pure animal lard, and only have Alabama records in our sound booth.
