Sino-Silliness: Pizza Hut Dance Crew

You know, I was always struck by the fact that not as many young people in China bother with crappy part-time jobs.

Was it the pressure to compete academically and do well in school? Just no time to work?

Was it the one child policy, allowing parents to funnel all their cash to one kid instead of many?

Well, now I’m inclined to think that there’s a third factor involved as well. How often do you see workers performing well-rehearsed dance routines in front of a McDonalds or a shopping mall? All the time, if you’re in China.

I mean, when did people start taking McJobs this seriously? Check this video of the Pizza Hut Dance Crew. Holy Be-jeesis. I’d be selling my body in a heartbeat…

    That sounds like it’s done to the tune of Yankee Doodle Dandy? I’m not sure how to feel about that. Cultural imperialism through fast food, or soft power at its finest? Should I be proud of my country for contributing to this, or embarrassed?

    I do kinda want a pizza now, though.

    I always laugh when I hear “soft power.”
    I bet Joseph Nye was impotent… :em62:

  • Human-Powered Washing Machine February 9, 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 February 9, 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 February 9, 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.

  • Best Chinese Knockoff Ever? Sony VAIC TT February 9, 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 […]
