Oops. Try this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJuVtxH8Eos Would anyone else like to be able to embed YouTube videos in the Conversations section? I think maybe I can make that happen...

TRUE LIES - 真的还是假的? I wonder if the video is really true. You know these poddies? I am so skeptical these days. Turns out the recent headlining-around-the-world cardboard in the pork bun story was faked by a reporter. OR maybe, the police faked a story about a fake reporter to cover up the truth about the fake buns! (For anyone learning English from here. If you can follow that sentence then your English is great!) 今天,报纸也说最近的假肉包子新闻报道是骗人的新闻报道。但是我也不太相信警察,他们还是欺骗我们吧?难道能相信谁,只相信自己和中文播客朋友! Even around here I see the workers start from the top of a building and use their hammers to break up the building slowly FROM the top. That operator was dumb, they should have left him inside his cabin for a while to think about the enormity of his dumbness, 真傻,笨了不得了! About the YouTube, I dunno John, great I guess, but my in-China connection will chunk up trying to pull the thread.

Bazza, I think the rating feature could turn into the death blow for the Forum.

This made me think of the Chongqing "nail house". I wonder whatever happened to that. http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/03/26/news/house.php
