We've seen their evolution from hilarious, but tasteless, depictions of current news to hilarious and original on-point political commentary... and we're loving it! Bravo, NMA News for this great rap battle between Obama and Hu. more ›

Since the China-based scare ad by Citizens Against Government Waste came out, it's been parodied endlessly ala the Hitler Downfall meme. My favorite one so far, though, comes from our playful animating friends at Next Media. more ›

Taiwan-based NextMedia seems to be moving from its more tabloid fodderesque news topics to well... actual news topics, but they're keeping the hilarious, irreverent tone. Case in point: their newest video carefully but quickly outlines the entire Diaoyu Islands conflict - from the initial arrest of a Chinese fisherman to the mysterious panda death to the unlikeliness that any of this will really matter in a couple of months. more ›

We thought Next Media (parent company of Apple Daily) was running out of newsworthy items to render in CG -- our mistake! After last week's animation of The Internet vs. Justin Bieber, the people who also brought us Tiger Woods being slapped by his wife, Gordon Brown beating his employees and the Late Night fight between Conan and Jay now use their animation wizardry to present Steve Jobs slicing off a customer's fingers with a lightsaber to show the correct way of holding an iPhone 4. more ›

Oh Apple Daily, we love you so, so much - but are you running out of things to turn into CG? We've seen their renderings of Tiger slapping a mistress, Gordon Brown beating his employees and the fight for Late Night between Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno... now here comes the story of The Internet v. Justin Bieber. more ›

While Gordon Brown and the rest of Downing St. have repeatedly denied the stories of him being a big ol' bully, that hasn't stopped Apple Daily from creating a CG rendition of all the ways Brown could have abused his staff. more ›

Various reports on yesterday's bus explosion in Yangpu District have attributed the cause of the fire to flammable material that one passenger brought onto the bus, but Hong Kong's Apple Daily《苹果日报》has suggested a "suicide-style bombing" (自杀式炸巴士) by Xinjiang terrorist groups. Here's part of the report, as translated by ESWN:

... Even more frightening to the citizens than the casualties at the scene is the vague reporting by the media. The description covered 'self-ignition,' 'ignited explosion (that is, a fire caused by an explosion in the engine),' 'arson' and 'explosion' and this is enough to make one question whether the truth is being concealed. Even more terrifying than the bus being set on fire in an attack is that the Shanghai public security bureau said casually that this was caused by flammable materials brought on by a bus. Even more scary to the outside world is that the authorities could cover up the fact that the train in the Shandong collusion was the Olympic Games special promotion train. If they can seal off the truth about the Shanghai bus and they can seal off the situation about epidemics, what couldn't they not deceive the Chinese people and the rest of the world on?
