Most Chinese people will be familiar with Li Yang and his Crazy English methods (?????). My suspicions that he was on some kinda drugs was confirmed during a trip to the bookstore today, when I came across this particular book:

Check out these videos, and you can get an idea of just how crazy this dude is. His program’s catch phrase is “crazily speak English,” which kinda does sound like grammar on crack somehow.

Does this look like Mickey Mouse to you?

Beijing officials deny allegations of trademark violations thusly:

When asked about the resemblance to Mickey, a spokesperson replied, “They have square holes in their ears. They are not copies.” The spokesperson suggested the statues are unique because they incorporate the themes of old Chinese coins (the square holes), the year of the rat, the Olympics and the financial district into the design. However, children passing by the statues were seen pointing and saying, “Look! It’s Mickey!” Source: JapanProbe

In addition to the more controversial Olympic cartoons I posted before, here’s a new one that all you Nintendo lovers will get a kick out of:

Cheers to Justin for sending me this one.

This is re-tah-ded. Dancing communists, set to RUN-DMC.

A friend of mine told me this joke a while back. And it’s pretty funny no matter what the language. Here it is in Chinese first:

So for anyone who doesn’t speak Chinese, the joke goes something like this:

A boy is on his way home from school, and he looks in the window of a house.
He sees a woman lying on her bed, rubbing her breasts and moaning
“I want a man! I want a man!”

The boy is a little confused by what he’s seen, but goes on his way and heads back home.

The next day he’s passing by the house again, and he can’t help but look in the window again. Much to his surprise, he sees the woman is on the bed with a man.

The boy is amazed, and immediately runs home. He jumps on his bed, starts rubbing his own chest, saying over and over:
“I want a bike! I want a bike!”

Funny…

More of these little animated jokes can be found on the jiong.ws website.

A while back I posted a video from Chinese TV of Kevin Rudd speaking mandarin.

Here’s another Kevin Rudd clip for you guys. Looks like someone whipped up a Kevin Rudd Propaganda video — or at least, what might pass for one if you ignored the audio track:

It was bound to happen that someone would do another take on the Olympic logo again.

Note to Chinese govt: I strongly condemn this cartoon as irresponsible nonsense.
