    At least they're not using tanks this time...

    I've defended our future Chinese overlords before, but the guys in charge of suppressing dissent this time around are obviously not their A-team.

    Umbrellas? And they obviously didn't do much practising beforehand. Instead of trying to block the line of the shot, just poke the cameraman's eye out, dammit. That'll stop him from shooting. But as you say, it's better than tanks.

    As the resident EFL teacher on the Dagblog staff, allow me to interpret for you, G:

    Please be kind to us, you dig? Because I really don't want to have to fuck you up. Asshole. You don't even know anything about China, so cease and desist with the misunderstanding, fool.

    P.S. I'm certain the commenter really doesn't want to fuck you as well, but frankly that is TMI. - Orlando

    Actually, it was trying to affect its Google ranking by posting a link (it was in its signature) to an autoclave selling business. The same creature did so more obviously else where. I hope you don't mind me deleting that thread.

    I'm just sad that I missed all the fun. Feel free to delete spammy or uncivil comments particularly from foreigners (and particularly from foreigners from you-know-where-not-China-but-starts-with-C).

    Aside from the fact that my comment makes absolutely no sense at all, I have zero problem with deleting pesky links. I didn't catch it or I would have done it too. I guess I was having too much fun being a smart ass.
