Insane Chinese Human Beatbox

or

How Online User Generated Videos in China became way less Gay

Remember a while back when that Backdorm Boys Video was floating around the net?

And remember how silly you thought it was that grown-up, hairy-arsed men were enthusiastically singing these pussy songs that only an 11-year-old girl would admit to liking (let alone singing) in the West?

Well, it seems that the internet is doing China some good. Videos of human beatboxes have been floating around, and it seems that the Chinese are noticing that it’s way cooler than all that KTV pop-ballad crap.

It was only a matter of time before they caught on:

    I can’t believe I just watched that whole thing.

    Does it look a bit like he’s lips syncing to anyone else? It might just be a slightly mistimed audio. Guy in the back is priceless.

    Yeah, I agree.
    That dude in the back steals the show.

    I think the Backdorm Boys video had a dude in the back playing CS or something.
    That’s the nature of Chinese dorms I guess.

    So much for Chinese people not being creative…
    Looks like we got at least one exception. :)

  • What a PSP Phone may look like March 17, 2010
    Some interesting images are emerging from a Chinese website M8cool.com. Apparently patience is not one of the virtues of the shanzhai (loosely meaning, imitation) industry, as they love to kick out early prototypes and images of not-yet-released gadgets. The latest one of these is the PSP Phone.  […]

  • Human-Powered Washing Machine March 17, 2010
    What do you get when you cross a treadmill with a washing machine? Give up? Something that looks a little like this, actually. A kid by the name of Zhang Jiayu from the northeastern Liaoning province thought that conventional washing machines wasted far too much electricity. He then had the bright idea of creating one that was powered by a man running on top […]

  • China Says Goodbye to Google With Cartoons March 17, 2010
    Since Google announced that they would no longer continue to censor in China, pretty much everybody has assumed that they won't be able to remain in the country. That may turn out to be the case. I'm not going to speculate too much on the issue, because there's way more than enough being said already. In the midst of all that headache, I do wa […]

  • China ice sculpture tragically made entirely from beer March 17, 2010
    The city of Harbin in northern China is widely known for it's freeze-your-snowballs-off temperatures and it's annual ice festival. Domestically, the city is also known for it's beer. Sadly, some wiseguy decided to combine the two to create a ginormous ice sculpture with nothing more than copious amounts of frozen beer. Such a waste... […]

  • China's xpPhone to be upgraded to Win7Phone? March 17, 2010
    The Chinese xpPhone was itself thought to be a rumor until engadget China reported on it last month. Sadly, it looks like this monstrosity does indeed exist. And what's more, it looks like it might soon be upgrading to Windows 7. Nevermind that the real Windows 7 Mobile won't be coming out until late next year. As usual, China has us covered with t […]

  • Best Chinese Knockoff Ever? Sony VAIC TT March 17, 2010
    There's something ingenius about taking an 'O' and making it a 'C.'  It's so subtle. So clever. It boggles the mind with possibilities: Orec cookies anyone? Maybe a little Cvaltine to wash it down?  Ok, maybe not. But that's generally the idea behind this 'Viac' 'Vaic,' a shanzhai version of the tiny Son […]
