Dragon TV claims 5 million MSN Messenger users "heart" China

Since we told you about the MSN (L) China campaign yesterday, the mainstream media in China has lapped it all up. Shanghai's Dragon TV today claimed a whopping 5 million MSN users. And just as you're wondering where the hell they plucked that figure from, Xinhua today quoted a paltry 2.3 million MSN Messenger users, and even has a very authoritative source to back that up:

MSN China spokesman Feng Guangshun released the figure on Thursday. Many more people have opened their MSN accounts to find a message which asked them to add the "red heart" and "China" in front of their signatures.

Feng said he expected the number of participants of this activity, which started Wednesday as a spontaneous patriotic campaign by Chinese Internet users, to raise dramatically in the following few days.

Watch what you put up as your nickname on MSN Messenger, boys and girls, 'cause Big Brother is watching (and counting).

UPDATE: Danwei adds that some users are now adding (U) CNN to their MSN nickname so that it now looks like this:Dragon TV claims 5 million MSN Messenger users

These idiots are really just pulling figures out of their ass.

So what? Who really cares what a bunch of scrawny, snotty little emporers think? They'll still eat at McDs and Pizza Hut, buy Sony, GE and Samsung, drink Coke or Pepsi and go after foreign brands.

Screw China and screw its youth.

can't you say anything that doesn't offensive to other people and bring some real suggestive comments?

I wonder if you and winterfalling are the same person, but hot headed and say nothing but bad things.

I would consider his comment as a spam

@vladivostok
and suck on the shitty figures as hard as you can, asshole.

@nanheyangrouchuan

we love china, does that have anything to do with eating McD? YOur brain got fucked.

@sega8800

yeah sorry i use too much on the F word but the idea is conveyed as well as I expected so pls do not say that i am saying bad things...

As I said, I fuck back as bad as I got, I am not a starter but I am a fighter!

but yes, I am sorry sega8800, if you feel offensed anyway... but i read your comment and admire you, I will never attack ppl in the first place.

your criticism over me is well taken but I dont wanna get rid of my style coz i am who i am.

i used to say something against WenJiaBao there over my MSN, it is ok. nobody knocked my door.

@winterfalling

Is "fuck" the only swear word you use? Overuse takes the meaning out of it. Typical of Chinese education.

That's rich. Now you're giving swear word etiquette lessons!

@nanheyangrouchuan

"fuck" is the only word he said to you, and I agree. By reading all the comments above, I see you started attacking China and its people first. Winterfalling only attacked you not your country. Now you tell me what typical education you have had?

@nanheyangrouchuan

The F word fits you well. as for education, I hope the Chinese could learn how to use the word fuck by all means in university so that they dont get fucked easily. Thanks to the western movies, I learnt something that I can never learn from school.

@nanheyangrouchuan
F word is the best word you deserve.
oh, by the way, have you figured out how to solve you hair-loss problem? and sagging skin? you are such a stinky old fart

Oh, the LOVE! So many little Chinese students and their shabby english. They learned the "f" word and they completely go off their rockers with it.

I love to FUCK Chinese girls' chocolate starfish and they love to get it 'cause I'm a foreign devil and they are rebelling against their daddies. Even if they marry some pansy ass local guy (like winterfailing or bitchard lee) they'll massage themselves to memories of me.

Deal.

This is getting out of hand, just like the whole situation..

stinky mutton(Nanheyangrouchuan)
well. I am glad to hear things like that. good for you. continue your mental masturbation. you are so funny!!! hahaha....
But I have to point out the reality. You think those girls are easy. Well , have you thought that those girls use you as a tool? People are curious about anything exotic. then people taste it and it is done. Applause for you!!! You live China and SERVE for the chinese people. If i were Chinese president, I would give you five star medal. Now i will announce to our compatriots that, we can use foreigners without any inconvenience of going abroad. China is rising..... huuuu
"massage themselves to memories of you"? well, live in your neverland. You can find a place in lunatic asylum. i can book a berth for you.
oh, by the way. You will get wattle on your face within five years. So my advice is you go to rural area. Maybe some poor girls would like to use you. but at that time, sorry, there is no market for you in cities. Enjoy your remaining time!

poor @nanheyangrouchuan, you must be one of those foreigners who has difficulty in getting a job in your own country. Being a second class citizen in China (sorry for appearing to be a racist, however, based on those remarks you made, you certainly deserve to be labeled as such), you should be thankful that China has given you a chance to make a living here. What is the big deal with us Chinese McD, Coke and other foreign brands! You are not ging to tell me that people in your country do not use Chinese products and does it make them a lesser person or does it make them non-patriotic ?
The F-words and the comments about Chinese girls you made is simply uncalled for, especially for a foreigner pauper begging for a living in China.
People in a glass house should not throw stones. If you do not appreciate the chance China has given you, GET OUT!

Not all people working outside of their countries should be labelled as Loser !

This is very wrong and alot of them makes a good success.

However, in the case for @nanheyangrouchuan, he is 100% loser, second class citizen at every countries inclusive of his own.

He does not live in China. He just comes here for work occasionally. His job is so important that he gets to travel to different countries. Is yours?

oh, i did not realize the fact that the more a worker travels, the higher status he is within the corporation ?

What a laugh ......

the world surely have loads of ignorants and dumbs

If a worker travels across the Pacific Ocean then he has some skills. Notice how you have never left China.

" If a worker travels across the Pacific Ocean then he has some skills. Notice how you have never left China. "

Hahahahhaa.....

I am laughing not because i am not agree with the above statment !

But what you said made me think you regard people who are being able to travel abroad workwise such a BIG DEAL !! Maybe to you is !!

Open up and see the world, you little ants !!

what a laugh !!

no wonder so many riots !! fucken loser !!!

PEOPLE.....COME OVER AND SEE MR ALEC 'S COMMENTS , a typical small minded human being !!

let me say again....LOSERRRRRRRRRRRRRR....LOSER LOSER LOSER ......hahahahha

Why is it (L)China? Shouldn't it be (L)中国?

Doesn't it make more sense to write it in Chinese?

@Alec

" If a worker travels across the Pacific Ocean then he has some skills. Notice how you have never left China. "

don't be silly. I think many Chinese on this board have been to foreign countries, including me. Visiting a foreign country is not something you can flaunt with great fanfare. try to find other things to show off, so as to boost your confidence
