Anyone who has gone to the Silk Market can tell you that all the workers are trained to say the exact same thing, but can this be true? I'm pretty sure the girls have said "You're crazy!" to me multiple times.

Discovered via Digg.
Can I just file this under 'stating the obvious' and call it a day? Click to enlarge the picture if you can't figure out what the sign is telling you here.
China loves, cares, and protects me.
It also makes me laugh...in that "short bus" type way.
I'm sorry, I'm just not even surprised anymore. The appearance of Scooby-Doo's famed Mystery Machine (err...Mistery Machine) in Beijing this morning didn't even phase me. If Velma and Fred had been in the back making a sex tape, ok, then I would have been a little shocked. Just a little though.
The breakfast crew had a short debate on whether or not the misspelling was intentional or an unfortunate act of Chinglish. To date, the best theory we have is that it's a limousine for one of Beijing's gay bars.
Let the "toss your Scooby snacks" jokes begin...
I asked the taxi driver what this was supposed to mean. He didn't know either, so don't feel bad if you're just as confused as me. So while I do believe ridiculous things can happen to you in China, getting attacked by a giant baby while in a taxi is not one of them.
Ok, maybe this picture is actually worse than the last one. This from a friend's dessert tonight at Morel's, here in Beijing. I can assure you no modifications were done prior.
I almost returned the dessert complaining that we ordered this circumcised...
It's bad enough that you have to ruin our favorite bargain-til-you-migraine hotstpot with this brightly-colored atrocity. But come on, did you really think no one would notice that the design of the new Yashow sign is obviously stolen from...
Ya-hoooo!!!
By the way, the five stars in the photo are meant to convey the fact that this is a 5-star establishment.
While walking through one of my neighborhoods many DVD stores last night, this box set of Lois and Clark episodes caught my eye. Unfortunately, this cover didn't make me think of the harmless, family-oriented Superman TV series on ABC that chronicled the love-challenged hijinx of Clark Kent and Lois Lane. It appeared to me as two poorly-trained actors locked in a passionate embrace for a low-budget porn flick based on the popular (and less seductive) Superman comic book and movies.
Extra points will be given in the comments section for anyone that can come up with new porno-names for Superman characters.
I'll start you off with: Jimmy "Hat" Olsen.
Bonus: Did you happen to notice Kirk Cameron's mug on the left? I take this as further proof that Mike Seaver may possibly be a sex god in China. I will now be renaming myself "Boner" and attempting to convince Chinese girls that I can introduce them to Mike. Those of you who grew up in America during the 80s just laughed at that last sentence, those of you didn't now think I have a porn career of my own.
