Hey check it out! Continuing in the vein of mapping out our private bits (see map of global penis size vs. IQ here), take a look at the world's boobs by breast cup size! Yet another example of Target Map's ability to provide indispensably important data in clear, geographical form. Unfortunately for China, they're not scoring too high on either index. The source of the boob data wasn't given, so we can't comment further on reliability or underlying variables. But it looks like some high fives might be happening up in Northern Europe and Russia... more ›

To be filed in the just plain weird folder: Chinese underwear company DEU wants to help you create gigantic, adjustable cleavage. This ad for a boob clamp/corset thing goes on for 5 whole minutes -- why anybody watches it from start to finish with that annoying "doo doo doo doo" soundtrack in the background must be because because it's filled with lots and lots of boobies! Actually, all it is, is repeat shots of boobs getting smushed together and trussed up (everybody becomes happy "waahhh") and then undoing the corset, boobs fall back apart ("awww" sad face). So simple, and yet so mesmerizing. more ›

Ladies, this wonderful infomercial is selling a product called Top Charming that promises to enlarge and firm up your boobs by simply jiggling them.

So how does one measure a good breast? Is it the bounce? The rotundity? The ratio of cleavage to sideboob? We're a little disappointed that question wasn't answered at China's first "Breast Model" contest, held in Hunan Province recently. more ›

A Chinese mother is producing so much breast milk that she bathes her baby in the excess every day. The mother said she usually ends up producing two liters more milk than her six-week-old daughter needs to drink, so the family has been finding clever ways to get rid of it. At first, she, her husband and her mother-in-law took turns drinking the extra milk. But when there was still plenty left over, they began giving the baby milk baths, which have made the baby's skin very smooth and white. Source: Ananova more ›

An outrage. more ›

Shanghaiist fears the wild world that is the Chinese blogosphere if only because we don't want our heads to explode. But we've been feeling a bit more daring recently, and after cautiously dipping a toe in the water, we've come to conclusion that there's some strange stuff out there that you need to know about. more ›
