Interview: Eliot Lipp talks electro
Weekendist: Cuisine festivals, creativity workshops, charities and more!
Extra! Extra! Police and prostitutes, journalists and propaganda departments, and kids and condoms
Around Shanghai: Malones, martinis and Moreno!
Olympic condoms are faster, higher, stronger
To bolster confidence against terrorist attacks in the upcoming Beijing Olympics, Xinhua gives us stills from a CCTV special of the armed police demonstrating anti-terrorist tactics in Jinan, capital of Shandong Province.
Observe the acrobatic prowess, the state-of-the-art defense of the flame-thrower, the heavy-duty mob scattering water cannons, and, of course, no anti-terrorist drill would be complete without armed police on wheels!
While we admit that high-powered water cannons might have conveniently served the double purpose of putting out fires and mob ire (where where these last week?), this Shanghaiist thinks perhaps someone in the anti-terrorism bureau has stayed up one too many nights playing Starcraft and C&C.

are those red things in the middle missile launchers? That'd be sweet if they have a display on the segway handle and they can steer the missile into target..
Flame throwers against terrorists. I'm speechless.
Segway-mounted police? I think they've been watching too much Arrested Development! Did they hire GOB as their anti-terror consultant. Will there be a magic show in which they make the bad guys just DISAPPEAR? First the Bluths do shady business with Saddam, now the PRC. Brilliant comedy, you have to admit!
Won't firing their guns make their Segways go backward?
That's SOOO funny!I wonder if they are real Segways or if they are taking chances with Chinese knockoffs.

are those guys looking for hermano?
What's wrong with the tried and true method of just running the terrorists over with tanks?
In neighboring Shaqsdong, the cops ride around in the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile.
"Yeah right, s-s-s-s-sure, the guy in the $3,000 suit is going to negotiate with terrorists, C'MON!"
They will be no match for the Unicycle Liberation Front.
pull ovah, pull ovah!
Those are just ridiculous. You have to run over a Tibetan monk 3-4 times just to properly oppress him.
They see my rollin', they riotin'.

Forcefully extinguish gay exercise with spraying!

Why? It worked in Ironman. :)
That's it, i've decided to attend the olympics. I can't miss out on the counterstrike brigade.
This is genius publicity, *clap clap*, 99% genius in knowing how to create international buzz. Laughter (not only sex) Sells.
The "I just got kicked in the balls" posture is kind of intimidating... you know a guy that just got racked might go off and do some crazy shit (once he can stand up straight/remove himself from his Segway).
That guy is mistaken -- you can't aim an uzi, you just have to pepper the crowd
