Comments on China Daily and Chinese Women: Cross-dressing, nudity, and super-sized bellies
A good sum-up of stories, but they are actually published both last week and this week.
Re: Zhang Ziyi - Seven Samurai? Another Japanese flick... Three cheers to her for having the guts that no one would suspect that tiny, sexy, belly could hold.
Re: Fatty McFat - Three chairs to her for holding up whatever soccer team that big ol' belly is holdin.
Easier to jump over her than it is to walk around her...
Personally, I think the prego story is a hoax. Doesn't make sense that a woman with such a belly could stand up at all.
China Daily look like they are trying to keep up with Skinhua in pushing the tittilating content.
The pregnant woman looks like a man, or at least a very ugly woman ...
Actually, both Danwei and China Daily got her name wrong...it is Qiao Yubo (乔玉波)
As I have suspected. The prego story was a hoax:
