Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.

Comments on Online sex glossary
Interesting...I think this is the first time I have seen the actual character for "bi" on the Internet (or anywhere else for that matter...seems most newer dictionaries don't even list it...my character input software doesn't have it either...)
AjS
It looks well done and well translate - That's very good that those such webistes appear on the Web - Lot's of other / not only about sex but other such "tabou" subject should appear - Soon maybe ...
who says this character "屄" can not print
屄 can be typed if you type in traditional characters (not that there is a simplified version). It does appear in the 5th edition of Xiandai Hanyu Cidian (and with an Yitizi listed to boot!); don't have a copy of the most recent Xinhua Zidian at hand, but it was not in the previous edition. Away from my library and so curious if it appears in Taiwan's standard dictionary Xinbian Guoyu Ribao Cidian; kind of doubt it, given the audience of most of that publisher's materials. The intriguing question for me is how did 'cow cunt' ever come to mean 'cool'?
