And here we thought Shanghai Craigslist would never get as interesting as its New York version. In a recent posting entitled "Betraying ex' expensive stuff and life style in Shanghai for sale!" a scorned Chinese woman is trying to make some extra cash from a recent break-up:

Normally, job postings on Las Vegas' Craigslist for nightclub managers would never catch our attention. Make that nightclub a KTV disco nightclub and put it in Shanghai, and we start to get curious. Make the annual salary for said position between $100k and $400k USD, and we're printing out résumés:

Via CraigsList: "Young, sexy, flirtations staff required for a new topless bar - Pudong." Curiously, the ad doesn't specify a preferred gender for applicants — go get 'em, guys. (And yes, as far as we know, topless bars are illegal in China.)

is a hit. It's getting rave reviews, grossing millions, and definitely the most quotable thing we've seen in ages. But Borat seems to have missed most of the -ist cities, and we were all wondering how the film would have been different if he'd made his way around the world on the -ist tour.

August 1 was a strange day here at Shanghaiist. Our site was normal and accessible to pretty much the entire world, including China ... except for most people living in Shanghai.

LAist has so much fun this week! They go to E3, where they overhear the timeless remark "Man, this is where nerdy girls get laid." Is that a promise? They also give us this week's best CDs and make us realize that LA is the best place to use Zillow.

Torontoist throws down the gauntlet and challenges all comers: pillow fight, bitch. They also stand up for a fellow blogger taking heat from the TTC and welcome city-wide WiFi.

We all know that eBay loves it some China. Well, soon it will be easier for China to love eBay back. eBay will launch PayPal in the electronic-payment-challenged country "within the year." The Motley Fool said this of PayPal's impending China debut: "It's a proven entity that now seems likely to enter an unproven yet potentially riveting new region." But the folks at Alibaba.com, which owns Taobao.com, eBay's top China competition, aren't exactly shaking in their boots. Said Alibaba spokesman Porter Erismann, "We're ready, we're prepared and not very concerned because they've got a lot of catching up to do." Oh snap! The online auction site gloves are off!
