Abandoned Wonderland
From In Focus: China’s abandoned Wonderland. I once threw a rave called Wonderland.
Chinese Lady Gaga Video
The New Yorker explains that weird Chinese Lady Gaga video.
In China, truth be told, the video passed by without the slightest comment. Only now are people starting to write things online along the lines of: Do you know that this video is apparently really popular in the West?
The idea that the raspy troubadour of ’60s freedom anthems would go to a dictatorship and not sing those anthems is a whole new kind of sellout — even worse than Beyoncé, Mariah and Usher collecting millions to croon to Qaddafi’s family, or Elton John raking in a fortune to serenade gay-bashers at Rush Limbaugh’s fourth wedding.
Ouch. [via]
