Watch: Chinglish gets called out for being awful
Watch this China-born YouTube warrior tear into all the annoying mistakes commonly made by Chinese learners of English, as he tries to convince them to actually learn how to pronounce an English word, rather than relying on Chinese character approximation (E.g.

Sperm collecting machine: Chinese innovation at its best
We have no doubt that Chinese inventors will soon rule the world. Don't believe us? Well, just take a look at this video. Some wonderful company in Jiangsu has apparently invented a sperm collecting machine. Great! With this machine, now sperm banks around the world no longer need to get donors to "do it yourself". The machine boasts of a cylinder pump which they say feels like a vajayjay inside. Like it tighter? Looser? Faster? Slower? All of that, and the height of the pump itself is adjustable. There's also a screen that can play you your favourite porn in a wide variety of file formats while the machine pumps the baby batter out of you. This machine is supposedly great for sufferers of premature ejaculation because it helps to desensitise the penis. Any PE patients out there? Get one from their Alibaba store for the great price of US$2,800 and tell us if it works!
Watch: Man drives two bumper cars in Taizhou simultaneously
China's got talent -- no kidding! Look what we've got in Taizhou, Zhejiang province -- a man driving not one, but two bumper cars on a busy city street. And the uniquely talented individual even tries to overtake a car at the lights! Fortunately for the other motorists, traffic police caught up with the man before he created any mayhem, and told the poor soul having the time of his life that bumper cars are meant for the amusement park and not, erm, meant for the roads. And fortunately for us too, surveillance cameras were on hand to catch all the action. Enjoy:

Breast cup sizes: Now there's a map for that too!
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...
Chinglish of the Day: Shanghai hotel spa promises to warm your nether regions in winter

Penis Size vs National IQ: See how China stacks up!
This Penis Size Map is from a completely serious new website called TargetMap.com. According to this map, Congo, Ecuador, Ghana, Colombia and Venezuela are the world's most well endowed nations, while South Korea, Cambodia, Thailand, India and Burma -- all in east Asia -- are the world's least well endowed. Chinese men, clocking in at 10.89cm (4.3in), are the world's #8 least well endowed. Unfortunately though, because of difficulty in collating data, what you see on this map is from statistics compiled at different points in time. The data for China was apparently from the heady days of revolution (and malnutrition) in 1953.
Thursday Timewaster: UCLA student Alexandra Wallace's "Asians in the Library" rant
Our Douchebag of the Day comes in the form of UCLA student Alexandra Wallace who in her 3-minute video rant complains about the "hordes of Asian people that UCLA accepts into our school every single year.” Wallace describes her frustration at the library saying Asian students just can't stop talking on the phone and disturbing her: "all of a sudden when I'm, like, about to reach an epiphany, over here from somewhere I hear, Ohhhhhhhh! Ching chong ling long ting tong! Ohhhhhhh!" She adds, "I swear, they're going through their whole families just checking on everybody from the tsunami thing." The video has since gone viral and received several million hits, eliciting a quick apology from Wallace who says she has received numerous death threats. For more, check out LAist's reports here and here.
