Is China A Racist Country?
Below is a photo of an advertisement placed by the Cambridge Kids English Centre in Guangzhou, China for a part-time ESL teacher. In the title it clearly states:
"Native kids English teacher (Black or White) 18,000 rmb"
Also at the bottom of this ad it states:
"you can apply if you are black with good teaching experience and a valid visa"
but then:
"BLACK teachers get 14,000rmb" (>_<)
The folks at the the Cambridge Kids English Centre have taken this ad down, but the cached page of it can still be seen here in Yahoo.

Skateboarders Film Kim Il Sung's 100th Birthday Bash
Via The Atlantic Apr 30 2012
A team of skateboarders were not allowed to skate in Pyongyang, so the video maker of the group, Patrik Wallner, turned his camera to the The 100th Birthday Celebration of Kim Il Sung in North Korea and created a beautiful short documentary of the eternal leader's big birthday extravaganza. From their Virtualtravelling website:
Traveling to Hermit Kingdom is already bizarre enough, but when we heard that North Korea would be celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the Great Leader & eternal president, Kim Il-sung, there was no way to let such an epic birthday party slip through our hands. Laurence Keefe, Kirill Korobkov and I flew over to Pyongyang for two days to witness the madness. While skateboarding within the DPRK was our main intention, it was overshadowed by the celebrations & the 'no sliding' anywhere rule. The three minute clip portrays a small insight into North Korea from the 15th of April 2012.And here is the clip entitled "Kim Il Sung's Birthday Party": See more beautiful photos and videos of Asia at Virtualtravelling.

The Truth on China's Dangerous Holes
Via News on Japan April 25, 2012
Yesterday the world was stunned by the CCTV video of a teenage Chinese girl falling into a six-meter (19-foot) deep sidewalk hole in the city of Xi'an in northern China. She was rescued by taxi driver Wang Wei and the local fire department. She was unhurt and according to CNN her parents contacted Wang Wei to thank him for his brave rescue. Here is a news video about this from The Huffington Post:
Taxi driver turned hero - Wang Wei:
The article in the Huffington post also mentions that earlier this month a woman in Beijing died after a sidewalk collapse sent her plummeting into a pool of scalding water. But what the Huff Post and other mass media news organizations did not report is that this kind of accident occurs fairly often throughout China.
According to the blogger Liuzhou Laowai there have been many people (and at least one water buffalo) of Liuzhou, China that have unfortunately fallen into sidewalk holes, wells and cesspools. Most were taken to the hospital and treated for injuries but some did not make it. This blogger has been reporting and joking about the "ancient and noble art" of falling down holes for many years now and has a shocking archive of such accidents.
So why does this happen so often in China? Well, apparently, the necessary safety regulations either don't exist or they are not followed by companies involved in road work, sidewalk work and other public projects. Also, according to the Liuzhou Laowai "manhole covers are also regularly stolen for their scrap metal value". O.O
So why is that so? Well the only answer available for that inquiry is "Because China".

NMA TV on NBA's World Peace Violence
Recently Metta World Peace aka. "Ron Artest" of the LA Lakers reverted back to his violent ways and now is in trouble once again with the NBA. His latest eruption happened in Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. World Peace started celebrating a slam dunk by pounding his chest and then suddenly he viciously elbowed James Harden's head and knocked him to the floorboards. This earned Artest a flagrant foul and a game ejection but, of course, he claimed it was unintentional:
"It was unfortunate that James had to get hit with an unintentional elbow," World Peace said. "I hope he's OK."However the NBA thinks otherwise and is now deciding on the length of Artest's upcoming suspension. This event is quite controversial with some fans claiming it was an accident and others saying that Artest should be banned from the NBA altogether. Either way this foul/accident is very disappointing for the NBA as this current season has seen an increase in violence on the court overall. Not missing a beat, Taiwan's News Media Animation TV just weighed in on this whole mess with a very funny 3D animation news video: Related: Taiwan's Take on NHL Playoff Violence

Because China: Panda Bully on China Airways
In the above photo from China Airways we see the infamous Panda Bully who has been known to cause havoc in office buildings, kitchens and supermarkets throughout Asia and the rest of the world. Don't believe it? Think its Photoshopped? Well just watch the below video and keep reading:
According to Snopes the above photo is, in fact, a real panda named "Squee Squee" with his caretaker, Fu Jiang Lang on a trip to a zoo in the USA. China Airways is a sponsor of the panda sanctuary at Cheng Du and they donated two business class seats for the transfer of Squee Squee to his new home. They decided that giving him and his caretaker passenger seating would be much safer than putting the panda in the cargo hold. So the above photo is real and the TV commercials are for Panda Cheese by Advance Marketing for Arab Dairy. The background music is the Buddy Holly song "True Love Ways." And yes this is all old internets, but you know just like North Korea is Best Korea it is true that Old Internets is Best Internets.
