Man Wenjun makes televised apology for drug abusePosted by Eric Mu, June 9, 2009 2:53 PM
 The Beijing News June 9, 2009 Singer Man Wenjun, who was busted for drug use on May 19, made his first public appearance yesterday since his early release from jail on June 3. Speaking to a Beijing TV law program, Man apologized to the public for the "bad influence" that he has caused. A screen capture from the TV program was used as the big photo on the cover of The Beijing News today. CCTV anchor Bai Yansong and comedian Zhao Benshan also appeared on the program. Bai believes that Man has learned his lesson and should start over. Zhao called for public sympathy, saying that Man is "essentially a good man". View Man's apology online here. Underneath the big photo, a headline raised the alarm about "a new crisis" caused by the increasing amount of waste in Beijing. The report estimates that the 13 dumps currently in use will be filled in four years if no measures are taken to curb the annual 8% increase of the amount of waste generated in the city. According to the article, the odor generated by overburdened garbage processing plants is a source of constant complaints from neighboring residents. The paper's top headline reports that eleven domestic vaccine manufacturers, including one based in Beijing, have received seed viruses from the World Health Organization to develop vaccines for the A(H1N1)-type influenza. In other news, Shenzhen mayor Xu Zongheng is under investigation for suspected breach of discipline. There has been speculation about a link between Xu and Huang Guangyu, who was nabbed for possible stock manipulation last November. More details on China News Wrap. Links and Sources

Comments on Man Wenjun makes televised apology for drug abuse
这厮一脸的倒霉相,我从来都不关心,吸毒的多了去了,报道他做甚??单位越来越像八卦网站了,什么都八卦,跟个娘儿们一样.中国媒体最近主要报道的你们都没讲,成都公交自燃,还有最近的电脑过滤软件,已经引发网上的大辩论了.我觉得报道这些更有意义,个人观点.
Other sites have reported on those issues quite well, and we have linked to them. ESWN has been covering the Chengdu bus fire (which we mentioned in yesterday's front page post), and we've linked to a number of sites discussing the Green Dam filter.
我恰恰认为单位不说那个什么电脑过滤软件是对的，人云亦云有什么意思。那个电脑过滤软件就是中国满地的垃圾软件中的一个而已，两公司贿赂信息工业部花4000万买它，还只能用一年。要说也要说说里面的腐败问题，而网上的讨论想当然地把它同censorship 放在一起，hype 地就跟吸了毒一样，一个比一个paranoid。也是个人观点。
吸毒吸死才好哪！ 死了多他妈的牛逼呀！飞得最高最高竟界！！！神他妈的功的神仙！
百分百高考成功！！！
YEAH!
谢谢解答.我现在觉得你们对待这种事情的反应和态度是适当的,其实我也只会在网上瞎吼吼.单位是我喜爱的网站之一,我将一如既往的关注它.
