Haha!

notemily:

The Communist Party of China today introduced the man who will stand in for General Secretary Hu Jintao at all future public appearances. The less-attractive elder statesman will be replaced by 24-year-old prefessional underwear model Zheng Li Luo.

A statement from the National People’s Congress explained the substitution is in the best national interest of China: “We must put the country first and project the right image. Our ruthless totalitarian dictators must appear to be flawless.”

This is the pretty one!

What the Hell, Government of China?!  You are Child Soul Crushers/Pimps for the sake of national pride?

Let me run a check list, Government of China: 

1) Human rights?  Not so much. 

2) Democracy?  Almost no. 

3) Freeing Tibet?  Doesn’t appear on today’s “To Do” List.  

To this we can now add: 

4) Placing a premium on a perception of genetic superiority?  

Not very attractive, Government of China.  Let’s re-cast you.  

On top of which, I find it surprising that you even have two girls to chose from since you’ve been naturally selecting against them for 15 years.  Good luck finding a prom date, Chinese Boy.  

Government of China, this was your moment to shine.  Your outer coat did but your underbelly is as mean and twisted as a stage mom.

Yang Peiyi, you sing and you look like an angel!

I told this kid it was the best photo ever taken.  Was I lying?

Just wow.  Scroll up and down.  It looks like they’re moving.

Using the Gorilla Pod (Birthday present from Ian) is way fun!
