Extra! Extra! Teaching methods, human punching bags and PUAs

  • A netizen compares teaching methods in the U.S. and China through the story of Cinderella. While the U.S. version is a little off (can you ever imagine an elementary school teacher telling girls that they're evil if they're ugly?), it's still an apt analysis. [ChinaSmack]
  • Another U.S. and China comparison, this one more morbid. While in the U.S., people are fighting to keep abortion a choice, here in China, people are fighting to keep not aborting a choice. [Washington Post]
  • A man in Shenyang is now renting himself out as a punching bag for stressed women. Being in Shanghai, we can just use our boyfriends. [Ananova]
  • After yesterday's navy scuffle between North and South Korea, in which one DPRK ship may have been nearly destroyed and an officer may have been killed, the South is on high alert for possible retaliation. [New York Times]
  • Ever wanted to know what a Pick Up Artist (ala Mystery) does in China? One of Asia's premier PUAs is ready to talk about how to get single women to fall for you. Our backs are prickling in excitement... or is it disgust?... already. [CNNGo]
  • According to environmentalists, the Yangtze river basin is being increasingly affected by extreme weather - its temperature has risen steadily over the past two decades, leading to flooding, heat waves and drought. [BBC]
  • A visiting Fulbright scholar debates whether China is really ready to be a global power, especially considering all the things it could do on the world arena that it is simply not. [Global Times]

Regarding "RedpoleQ" the Pick-up-artist, it really is embarrassing and shame the kind of dog-shit foreign trash that comes to China now.

There was a time when you had to at least know something to be here. Now, any kind of ghetto loser can come and stay.

Really, foreigners should lynch "RedpoleQ" themselves to save themselves the shame of having this kind of turd representing them.
