The China Syndrome
No, it’s not what you think it is. I meant to blog on this a while back, but, well, I didn’t.
The Japanese were accused of aping car designs not their own years ago, and now it’s China’s turn to rip off its competitors. China, however has taken it to a whole new level. How about this fake Roller?
Or a fake Hummer?
And that’s not just a fake Hummer – it’s a Dongfeng Brave Soldier. Show some respect.
For some reason, Buick is popular in China.
China to US: “I got your Dongfeng right here.”
Why does fake Chinese Hummer sound like something that goes straight to my spam folder?
@Nabisco: Right. Lonely Chinese girls want to meet you. Lots of them.
I had no idea until I saw the Not the MSNBC ad that Palm Springs is “America’s Gay Oasis.” Who knew?
@Mistress Cynica: Honey, you didn’t know that? Your fag-hag credentials might be in question! :)
For reals it is, though the gheyz there tend to be more of the daddy category. Mr. SFL was once in Palm Springs for a conference and the other conference at the same hotel was a big White Party for sober gheyz. It was called “Hot and Dry” – by the end of the three day weekend the scientists were totally bonding with the AA gay crowd.
