From talent show to sex infomercialPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, October 23, 2008 11:26 AM
Hunan TV's "Super Boys" talent show is known in Chinese as 快男, "fast men". This video applies that title to a discussion of male sexual performance, featuring testimonials, cheesy sound effects, and hilariously explicit dialogue (more detail below). The clip starts off with a line from the Chao Chuan hit, "I'm a little, little bird," and then splashes the title screen: "Transform from a 'fast man' to a 'superman'." The first couple featured has an unhappy sex life: the man is too fast, and can't measure up to the European porn stars he envies. The second couple is the complete opposite: Mr. Wang Meng, who is over forty, can still satisfy his 26-year-old wife. While ragtime music plays in the background, Wang makes an impassioned appeal to the audience:
The drug, Yangli, is produced by a subsidiary of the Yantai-based Changyu Winery Group. Later on in the program, the purported inventor of the drug comes on stage and describes the technical details in heavy-accented Chinese spiced with earthy metaphors: "You'll go from a tiny cucumber to an enormous daikon radish." Returning to the theme of the sexual prowess of foreigners, the inventor notes that Yangli will produce 100% erections, "Just like powerful western men." To illustrate this claim, a third couple is brought on-stage. In this segment (around 12:00), a Russian woman complains about her Chinese husband's size:

Books on China
Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.
William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.
The WTO ruling: a half victory at best: In August 2009, a World Trade Organization panel ruled against China's system of monopoly control over entertainment products. Was this the victory supporters hailed as the dawn of a new day for American and global entertainment companies in the China market?

I'm guessing they are trying to sell a male sexual performance product. Its a info-merical.
By far the funniest thing I've read all week. Brings new meaning to the term "China Rises".
LoL, wow, that's just...yeah.
Holy shit...
They actually broadcast this on Chinese t.v now?
Damn, that's pretty liberal for a communist authoritarian, can't have porn, hell, fine you ass long time...country... WOW.
Dude... That's some hardcore shit... HAHA.
Mind you, I didn't watch the whole thing... it's just too corny...
The internet is so damn yellow and violent. Can't escape it even on www.danwei.com
Light Lord of Sith:
That's danwei.ORG not dot com. And Danwei.org has always had a very yellow, very violent streak.
That's... HILARIOUS!
As I recon, this is rip off of "Herione 6" TV show, broadcasted on Korean KBS. Sounds are same, titles are same, atmosphere are same...
But, this is on-pair with some breast products, with people yelling "DA!DA!DA!DA!DA!"
very yellow and voilent indeed!
by my common sense, it is not an on air tv commercial in chinese TV network. Mission Impossible. The words here are quite banned. Look like a video they made themself. Here is that anyone could give a prof that it is on TV network? which station?
