Watched some tv tonight which I rarely do and came up with some random observations.
1. Why do the news anchors on CCTV 9 (the english channel) change their hair every week? The hottest anchor has had the worst hair lately. First she had this quasi nappy look going, but it looked like she paid a lot for it. Now she has htis wierd wavy shit that looks like a wig. Chinese girls have pretty hair why can’t they leave it alone. it looks like shit when they try to make it look like european hair. Oh yeah, this goes for guys to. The sports guy on CCTV nine also died his hair an unnatural purple color.
2.The people who write the sportscasters material must get their lines out of 1001 things sportcasters say. I’ve never heard so many poorly used cliches.
3. The craptaculars, big shows with lots of singing and dancing that are on 24 hours a day, must be even worse if you understand Chinese. One of my freinds was over and he was translating for me. The songs had two themes; China is great (”China my hometown”) and personnel empowerment (”strive for your best”).
4. The chinese are good at modern dance. I think the madern dance is the worst artform ever.
5. Gender issues are fucked up in china (while I guess they are kinda fucked up everywhere). That big girl singer who is very popular was in the craptacular and she couln’t even sing in key. People say she is very talented, but I think the chinese have a wierd thing for big lesbian singers. I have this one girl student who is kind of big and very butch. At every party she gets up and sings a song and everybody goes wild. Not saying its wrong, just f’d up.
