Celebrities on Sina write fake fan commentsPosted by Eric Mu, July 4, 2008 11:53 AM
China's biggest blog host Sina has recently upgraded its blogging system. A bug in the new system has caused some revealing and laughable accidents: The real identities of some of the fans who post sugary comments anonymously on some entertainment celebrities' blogs were revealed, and turned out to be the celebrities themselves. Self-promotion and egos aside, it seems curious that these celebrities would waste their precious time engaging in this kind of childish behavior.

Books on China
Jasper Becker's City of Heavenly Tranquility: Many foreigners who lived in old Beijing and succumbed to its charms became more Chinese than the Chinese, preferring a fantasy China to the real one. Danwei publishes an extract from Jasper Becker's new book on Beijing: City of Heavenly Tranquility (Penguin and OUP) describing an enduring phenomenon.
Foreign journalists in China, from the Opium Wars to Mao : Paul French, author of a book on Carl Crow has written a book about the lives and exploits of foreign journalists reporting from China from the 1820s to 1949.
Earnshaw Books' Tales of Old Peking: Tales from Old Peking is available from Earnshaw Books, and like its sister, Tales from Old Shanghai is a book of fragments of information about periods, events or places in Beijing's history, collaging together pictures and text about eunuchs, concubines, the Lama Temple, Opium Wars, art, emperors, and a miscellany of other interesting topics

Classic Danwei posts
+ Chinese reggae pioneers (2004.03): Maybe Chinese doctors started using some of the local herbs in their remedies because something different happened in Jamaica: Kingston's Chinese population was involved from the earliest days with the down and dirty ghetto music that became reggae. + A fairy tale in Guangxi (2006.12): Guangxi schoolchildren write in to the People's Daily complaining about fraud perpetrated by their county leadership. + A positive look at the Nationalist Party (2005.06): A book applauds KMT contributions to the anti-Japanese war effort.

Comments on Celebrities on Sina write fake fan comments
oops....
ahahahaha....
i think that was only accidental things right..?
they have been popular already, no need to make a fake comment on their blog.
This blog reminds me of the days when you were starring in Huanzhu Princess [from 1998].
there's so much pathos in this self-comment that life seems almost unbearable to me now that i've read it.
Chinese pop stars are so incredibly and refreshingly lame. That's why I love them. Wan sui to all of them.
To Jun: Hahahaha.
Anyway, this is definitely one embarrassing glitch. Maybe they should just consider opening another blog account before putting their own comments. :P
I think that would work~~ :P
It's nice to hear these types of news though. Just proves that celebrities really make efforts to have a good name--one way or another. :P (Though this is really not one of the ways to do it.)
lol, wansui, Sillybrities, they did a good job!!!
Celebrities posting on their own blogs... what's next? Regular people posing as celebrities to leave comments that bear little or no relation to the actual article at hand?
Were someone to ever do that using my name I'd be enraged, so much so that I might well be inclined to eat the poster's liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
On an unrelated note: I though that "Sir Anthony Hopkins" fellow did a fine acting job in the film "Bad Company" - They should make a sequel to that one, don't you think? Perhaps a remake of "Titus" would be in order as well...
by the way, can I just say that the danwei contributor 'mike' is really cool and always has interesting things to say...
mike reminds me my friend mike :)
