The Shanghai Cowboy

Reader Sam Roberts sent us the following clip:

I encountered this fellow this afternoon, presumably out for some New Year's pillaging in not-so-rural Pu Dong. I think he missed a turn at the Mongolian steppe.
Hilarious! Thanks, Sam!

giddyup. . . . more like the horse and jockey were late to the Shanghai Derby. Someone should have taxied them on one of those little motorized tricycles because spanking horses without the gov'ts consent is illegal here unless the horse consents to being spanked (safe assumption?), all in the name of the hidden animal rights laws that are profoundly misunderstood by the public. Someone should also inform the ignorant, running horse btw because his rights might be violated.

HA! I showed the clip to someone chinese and she said the horse is walking fast (compared to an ox), and on a side note this is the year of the mouse. Left me a little confused at first, but i let it slide because she sparked a smile in me.
Add to my personal opinion, "Everything seems to be on a separate page here in China".

I'd like to see a chariot going down Nanjing rd or Huahai rd. Instead of a no-car day, I think China should implement a ride your animal day.
