Nooooo!!! I must have closure! How exactly does Zhou Xun get tough??? I also agree with kagemaru00. I think any publication that has the audacity to print something I don't agree with or uses the dreaded 'F-bomb' should be closed immediately.

Sad to hear that's will be changing hands, although its unheard of that owner will take whatever they see successful, try to run it by themselves and fail in the process. The Beijinger will undoubtedly run great articles as it used to. Couple years back a New York Times Journalist told me this after reading that's beijing "it's one of the greatest and funiest article I've ever read, never expected to find this type of journalism in Beijing, so amazing how Beijing have changed..." So kudos to the previous that's team! Well for Timeout no bad deeds goes unpunished, their magazine was filled with foul languages and has managed to dodge the censorship submission in the past few years due to "owner relations", basically it says that they can write and print anything that will piss off a lot of people and not caring about it afterwards, all thanks to the "owner". That all has changed now, since the "owner" has sold them out for not making money and headache. Last year Timeout was criticized by lots of parent for the massive "F-bomb" usage in their article.
