Hu Ge's new spoof: Action movie dodgy drug infomercialPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, October 26, 2006 1:12 PM
Hu Ge (胡戈), the video artist whose Internet video spoof of director Chen Kaige's movie The Promise brought him nationwide fame and threats of legal action from Chen, has been busy again. The People's Daily has republished a Xinhua story about the new video: The three-and-half minute Internet video made by Hu Ge appears to be a typical, mundane television shopping program. The advertiser is a medicine called "Two Foot Kick", produced by "Apollo Biopharm" that boasts "99 percent effectiveness in boosting courage". This is the new video: The People's Daily / Xinhua article commented further: In July, China banned misleading advertising that promoted products for breast enlargement, weight loss and height enhancing drugs... It seems that spoofing is considered, at least by the People's Daily, to be harmonious if it's used to mock dodgy advertising. The People's Daily story quoted above is here. Below you can find Hu Ge's steamed bun spoof video, and a huge collection of links to articles about spoofing culture and Hu Ge.
