Harmonious weirdnessPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, November 2, 2006 9:51 AM
Despite the Net Nanny's best efforts to ensure a harmonious environment, China's Internet is getting weirder all the time.
The image to the left is from Muzi Mei's 'blog salon' and shows some youngsters being hung up from hooks embedded in their backs. The photo was taken at some kind of performance event at 798, aka Beijing's Dashanzi Art Factory. (Related videos on Danwei: Mu Zimei interview, Dashanzi art festival) Still feeling harmonious? Well, check out these photos of a dead person's head with brains spilling out, or this collection of soft porn. |

Classic Danwei posts
+ The top Chinese books in 2007 (2008.02): China Reading Journal (中华读书报), Yazhou Zhoukan (亚洲周刊), and City Pictorial (城市画报) choose mainland China's top books for 2007. + Men behind the Nanny (2005.04): The Publicity Department (formerly known as the Propaganda Department) has held a "forum" in Beijing to promote what it calls "news editorial staff management regulations (in testing phase)". These regulations appear to be same the set of rules earlier reported on Danwei of which the stated intent is to clear up corrupt journalistic practices. + Asimov Published, Interviewed in Beijing (2005.03): Cover story from this week's Book Review section of The Beijing News announces the publication of a Chinese translation of Isaac Asimov's complete Foundation series. Yup, the Beijing News has scored a fictional interview with "I, Asimov". They've been taking similar liberties recently in their entertainment sections, captioning photographs of celebrities with made-up quotes.

Comments on Harmonious weirdness
man, qihoo has always been about the softporn. chinaren.com frequently links to them as well.
More and more things are getting distasteful in China, It is because of some people for their "money"'s sake, but no doultly related around the big environment of China.
I was seriously shocked by thoso kids and brains and skulls, seems like the Internet media is taking those pics as a kind of fun, which makes me more upset.
