I would like to think they do that as a joke, that they are making fun of people that put so much emphasis on brand names. But not likely more likely is that it could be that some that view the emblem never realize it is not an actual BMW and are impressed, that gets recognition. Then if that person is a woman she may also give up some face to get access to the cash she think he has, but really does not.
It is not that hard to figure out dumb fucks is it.
OK, some might quibble that, for political reasons, this clip does not belong in the TIC thread. But we don't (yet) have a thread called TIT (This is Ta*wan). Anyway, this does represent Chinese ingenuity at its "best". (With apologies for those without inside the firewall without a grannybuster.)
cheers!
the truck driver must be from Huzhou - Anji - Moganshan area as you see that particular unloading style all over the place with fully loaded bamboo trucks....
I was thinking the same thing, but the Chinese signs in the video are too blurry to pinpoint a location. The poster says he made the video in Ta*wan, and the trucks driving by do not look like typical mainland trucks. And the yard is tidier than one might expect in Zhejiang...Quote:

Surely TW.
Just wondering how they are loading it :icon10:
The sound in the sound track is either in Taiwanese dialect or Fujian dialect, which are close enough. I'd venture to say this is Taiwan, probably not Taipei. Once you leave Taipei going south in Taiwan, it's quite similar to mainland in appearance by and large.
Definetly not mainland - the truck is not blue
Check this out, just to get a visual idea ...Quote:

Please dont' think pollution is the domain only of china. There are parts of Christchurch city (NZ) where no building is allowed. The ground is totally poisoned from years of timber treating. Last year alone many containers of NZ milk powder (60 tonnes (CW 270 tonnes) total were blocked entry to China because of standard regulations. Previously the Melamine fiasco company was actually in partnership with a NZ milk powder company. I use NZ as an example as it is reguared as a clean and green paradise, which it is.. THERE YOU GO. if NZ is so bad, China doesn't seem as bad after all. The reason why pollution levels have increased over the last 10 years is simply because of the massive increase in the amount of cars.

This is a fundamental cultural difference. For example. A dildo will do as well as or better than a bloke in satisfying a woman, however it wont' get her pregnant.
The concept of ZERO is also signified in Chinese with a CIRCLE as their number system failed to include zero, the "logic" being "if there's nothing there, there is nothing to talk about."

A brief gander through Wikipedia tells me that the concept of zero originated from India and that, interestingly, the concept seems to have reached China and Europe alike around the 13th Century.

I may seriously have to double-post this into the Cumshot Thread, but nothing quite says "this is China" like the new headquarters of the People's Daily in Beijing.
People's Daily has long been dubbed the "throat and tongue" of the Chinese C*mmunist Party. I think they've come up with a new metaphor! Take that! (...up the arse...)

Of course China's clever netizens are quickly finding a certain logic to the design, as this montage shows. Yes, the "big underpants" CCTV headquarters is practically across the street. Like Sino-Korean friendship, they could be "as close as lips and teeth"!!!

Reason for Beijing air pollution has been identified.

Beijing is stepping up efforts to reduce illegal barbeques, to cut down on roadside air and noise pollution.
May is the peak time for outdoor grill cooking, which takes a heavy toll on air quality, traffic and residents, said Dang Xuefeng, spokesman for the capital's bureau of city administration and law enforcement.
"As the weather warms up, the streets gradually fill up with roadside barbecue spots, sizzling kebabs on the grill and cold beer, which also create serious air pollution and undesired noise for the neighborhoods," he said.
In addition to sanitation concerns, the smoke from outdoor barbeques is high in fine particulate matter concentration, which poses a severe threat to residents, especially those with heart and lung problems, Dang said. Downtown is the most severely afflicted area, he said, adding that most outdoor barbecues are illegal.
Pan Xiaochuan, a professor at Peking University's School of Public Health, said the smoke from barbeques is a very common source of PM2.5, or particulate matter with a diameter smaller than 2.5 micrometers, and poses a serious threat to people's respiratory systems.
He also suggested that residents are easily irritated by barbeque smoke close to their windows.
Operators of illegal barbeques face fines of up to 5,000 yuan ($813) and may have their facilities confiscated, authorities said.
The city administration office steps up inspections on illegal roadside barbecues every May, and residents can file noise and pollution complaints by dialing 96310.
The city's environmental protection bureau began regulating illegal outdoor barbeques in 2000, but controlling the problem has been difficult.
"To have some kebabs and cold beer while shooting the breeze with friends in the summer is a must for us, and nothing can replace it," said Lu Shuze, a 27-year-old primary school sports teacher in Beijing. "This has been a part of my life since college."
Lu said May is the best time for barbeques because mosquitoes aren't bad yet and the temperatures are comfortable.
The city has issued outdoor barbeque permits to several qualified night markets, which are equipped with environmentally friendly cooking equipment that gives off less pollution.
Dang did not know how many night markets have received permission to barbeque outdoors, but he said the requirements are very strict.
The government also warned of the dangers associated with barbecuing in the forest and the city's parks.
"Beijing is still in the middle of forest fire prevention season, and barbeques can easily result in a forest fire," said Yu Zhanyu, deputy director of the forest public security office of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Landscape and Forestry.
Forest fire prevention season runs from Nov 1 to May 31, but could be extended due to dry conditions.
That's a nice one!
Surely what he meant to say was: "Residents who are easily irritated by barbeque smoke should close the windows of their cars."Quote:

Here's an accompanying news story from the South China Morning Post.

Watch: video of Guangzhou airport's 'most careless baggage handler'
A video of a careless baggage handler at Guangzhou’s international airport has gone viral on Chinese microblogs, garnering almost a million views hours after being uploaded on Youku, China’s equivalent of YouTube.
A baggage handler at the Baiyun International Airport, China’s second largest, is captured carelessly throwing boxes onto a conveyor belt. Most of the packages bounced off the belt and landed on the ground. The handler is then seen taking a rest to check his mobile phone.
The video clip appeared to have been first uploaded on YouTube last week by a person who said he was a foreign tourist. It was then shared on Youku, from where it was reposted by tens of thousands of Sina Weibo users.
The Guangdong Airport Management Corporation, the operator of the airport, could not be reached for immediate comment. The company wrote in a microblog post that it was investigating the matter, saying that the clumsy baggage handler was employed by an unspecified airline.
“This proves the low-quality service among delivery services,” commented one Weibo user. “Again, it was discovered by foreigners.”
Perhaps passengers who received damaged packages after their flight could take a lesson from singer Dave Carroll, who complained about United Airlines baggage handlers - in song.
