Post subject: another macpod rant

Has anyone noticed the lack of docos/documentaries on chinese television? instead theres all these shows that teach you how to spend money on unnecessary extravagence.

i just watche this food show that had a couple of wanks in suits sitting around eating a dry looking steak with some XO liquor. The food looked disgusting but they were prasing it because it was imported from australia.

then the stupid airhead girl pops a 'oh! no wonder it tastes so good' when the guy mentions the fruit is from taiwan.

can you blame shanghainese people if they grew up watching this ****.

So this is another ranting about why shanghainese are stupid as hell? Oh yeah Macpod you are really good at explaining the BIGGEST mystery in this world!!!

Too bad you had to watch these valuable shows yourself for a testing en then came online to biatch how bad they are indeed.

BTW thanks for letting me know cuz I stop watching TV shows for a very long time. Now I feel released!

Macpod: have you spent any time in the States, or any part of the "modern" world? Has the word "infomercial" ever entered your, well, "developing" brain?

There will be feces littered all over, this being an imperfect world; that's no news. What does amuse me, however, is people who insist on sniffing it. That's far more psychologically interesting.

I thought brain cells only die..........maybe you're onto the next big medical breakthrough. did you see it on an infomercial?

Actually, since im not a stay at home mother im never around for the infomericals. So no, i cant say i have seen that many.

but i find condescending pricks like you amusing. please continue.

"I thought brain cells only die.........."

- My dear little chickadee......can you read?

Since reading a cut above your intelligence is supposed to be good for you, I guess you can still benefit from infomercials.

Always a nice anti-Japan document on Chinese tv. Who is saying there's a lack of good documents?!

I once switched on the telly and there was some show with a watermark in the middle of the screen advertising for some sex lubricant, through the whole show. Pretty funny attempt at subliminal advertising!

Well that'd explain it, for a while there I thought the powers that be decided enough's enough, and it was time to bring in some new porno channel. No such luck I s'pose!

..but really, I remember seeing it and thinking to myself I didn't realise sexual liberties had reached that point over here.

I can't remember the channel, this was a while ago and I never really watch TV here, but I remember it was just some chat show, they were talking to a Chinese celebrity as I recall.

i think we should all start a fund to buy macpod a sex slave so he can get rid of his frustration. OR one of the girls here offer to sort him out.
