Yesterday at 2:27 PM, the Chinese people marked the Sichuan earthquake by remaining silent for 3 minutes, while cars, ships and trains blew their horns. This clip, shot by Ada Shen, shows the scene on Beijing’s Dongzhimen Nanxiaojie.
Jiang Ming of Chengdu city promised his wife, He Ling, that he would not go on the internet anymore, and would instead spend more time at home to take care of their newborn son.
But after a short time he started to sneak into nearby internet cafes again to have video chats with girls.
“I was on the internet, and suddenly felt a numbness in my right hand. The arrow on the screen stopped moving,” says Jiang Ming.
“Then I found that my right hand was on the mouse pad, and blood was shooting out.”
In court, the husband pleaded with the judge to release his wife, since he was to blame for breaking his promise.
The court has adjourned and will announce its verdict on another date, reports Chongqing Evening News.

Best headline ever:
Sexually Suspect Panda Gives Birth to Twins
Short version: Chinese vets thought the panda was a male (due to obvious penis and “male behavior”) and sent it off to mate with a female. No wild panda fucking, no baby pandas. The scientists decided, since pandas are very endangered, to try artificial insemination and when they went a-harvesting semen, discovered that, oops, “male” panda doesn’t have a penis. Hmm, maybe panda is really a lady panda, but she looks like she has a penis. Maybe it was a “little crocus” like Callie’s in Middlesex. Panda penises are, after all, only about 3 cm long.
Oops, guess what? Newly-discovered panda girl’s plumbing is out of place. Doctors operate to put ovaries where “normal” lady pandas have them.
Scientists then try putting previously-thought-male-or-hermaphroditic panda with a “normal” male and boom! Two little panda babies. No word on their plumbing.
Seriously, though, “sexually suspect?”
Thanks, CNN!

BEIJING — To further its ongoing effort to combat sexually explicit websites, the Chinese government last week arrested a blogger for posting sexually explicit stories to his website, the Chinese state news agency Xinhua reported.
The blogger, identified only by his surname Li, posted the stories to a blog called “Hazy Night.†According to a spokesman from the Beijing Public Security Bureau quoted by Xinhua, the blog received close to 100,000 visits between August 2006 and April of this year, when police began to receive complaints about the blog’s content.
Li was arrested last Tuesday by police from Beijing’s university district, and charged with distributing Internet pornography, according to Xinhua. Individuals convicted of selling obscene content in China face jail terms of up to three years, but Xinhua reports that the law may not apply to Li, as the stories were freely available on his site, and not being “sold.†(more. . .)
