The latest on Survivor: China

care factor zero

dark day? they basically said they thought the story was bunk from the beginning. i see nothing wrong with a site like shanghaiist pointing out the absurd stuff making the rounds through the chinese internet.

lol@the giant catfish post. that was a dark day in shanghaiist history.

'I wish I could get Two and A Half Men on DVD."

haha. they're replaying that show on wgn here in the states. shakespeare it isn't.

I think my best answer was that it was an unintentional mistake that didn't take away from the content or overall message of the entry. I'm appreciate you holding Shanghaiist to such high standards, but I'm not a journalist and I don't claim to be one.

Really? the best answer is "Why don't you do it?" Is it really that difficult to figure out the difference between UCLA and UC Berkeley - considering its in the linked website? I mean its not like I was asking if it really was a whale shark or a giant catfish. It's IN THE LINK.

Berkeley and LA are not easily confused either. Sheesh.

Or I suppose I could go on accepting half assed article writing that passes for journalism in this town.

OF COURSE it's much easier to sit here at my desk and criticise someone else's work (hell, lamb kabob makes a life of that) - but I don't think this is brain surgery.

That was my response to the criticisms of American TV shows. ZING, bitches

You can purchase Two and A Half Men at various DVD stores in Shanghai or China for that matter.

I wish I could get Two and A Half Men on DVD.

The entry has been corrected.

As guest#8 said, we are volunteers and do not have copyeditors. Therefore, the writers must correct the entries themselves. Naturally, some mistakes are not caught by the writers as it is always difficult to correct ones own writing. I tried my best to correct any grammatic and spelling errors in the entry, but I neglected to check every fact in the article. I thank you for pointing it out. If you are volunteering for the position as official fact-checker, we would appreciate that.

fact checking? you think a blog written by volunteers has fact checkers? are you volunteering for the job? didn't think so. i'll take shanghaiist over any of the local rags any day, and those magazines have paid staffs.

UC Berkeley IS NOT UCLA. Jesus, your fact checking gets worse and worse everyday.

And the Chinese girl in question is from LA - sure she was born in HKG, but she grew up in SoCal.

Sloppy sloppy.

Bad Shanghaiist.

Oops, I'm not nanheyangrouchuan.

America has some terrible TV . . . but have you checked out CCTV? Or European TV? The best TV in the world is made in America, no question. What country has the quality of the HBO shows?

Haha blame all Americans for whatever you see on TV. Very modern. You'd fit in with the ancient Babylonians and good ol' Hammurabi with such a fine command of "collective responsibility". :D

TV will always be TV. If you see anything educational or brilliant on TV, let the rest of us know.

assuming that the great wall was built to keep people on its west side from passing over to the east side of the wall, and Shanghai being on the far east side of the wall, we are safely behind it.

i would call this the application of in-side out-side logic to great wall geography

Dumb, ignorant, prejudiced commenters. Take a look at popular TV around the globe -- not exactly highbrow material. Feel free to boycott all American television series, and see what you are left with.

Dumb, ignorant, cheesy Americans. Is it any wonder that they elected Bush... twice???

So, in Shanghai, do we live "behind the Great Wall" or in front of it?
