During the massive salt rush that struck China after the Fukushima nuclear disaster, a Chinese man from Wuhan city spends 27,000 CNY (around 4,123 USD) to purchase 13,000 catties (around 8 tons) of salt.

Now after the panic across China has subsided, this man wants a refund. As expected, no stores were willing to offer refunds.

Hope you had a happy Valentine’s day.

This year’s flower prices were a lot higher mainly due to inflation and the lack of supply. This hasn’t deterred many Chinese, who are determined to express their love, from buying flowers for their significant half. Nothing says I love you more than flower’s and gifts that is worth a month’s salary.

Someone, has thought of a healthier and more creative alternative. Meet this bouquet of vegetables…

This bouquet not only looks nice, but is very economic and healthy. Instead of letting flowers slowly wither away, you can actually take the vegetables and prepare a healthy meal!

Anyone who’s seen China’s state-run TV channel will think of it as a serious and conservative channel. It seems, however, that the editors working at CCTV are quite good at humor.

In a news report broadcast on CCTV about an air force training exercise, there was a brief shot of an exploding aircraft. The shot is cut into the video to seem as if it is part of the footage shot for the segment, with the explosion being the result of a live fire exercise. It seems this clip is actually from the final battle scene in the 1986 film Top Gun.

The funny thing is that the shot of the exploding aircraft was totally unnecessary in the context of the report. Whether you call this propaganda or not, you gotta admit these guys know how to make boring news action-packed.

With the huge growth in the population of “宅男” (recluse who spends all day to play video games, watch TV, eat and sleep) it seems like a great idea to profit from them. They give their money away so easily for cute little girls; especially those with big boobs. They buy any merchandise with cute little girls on them – photos, videos and even pillows.

It is so easy that even the ugly duckling can make a quick buck from them. Well, at least one who pretends to be a hot chick.

A 27 year old woman, who weighs 128kg, made a total of 2 million Taiwan dollars (or 66,890 USD) by pretending to be a hot chick online. Using a photo of someone else, she makes some friends with unsuspecting targets. Later, she pretends to be in major trouble such as having a dying father and asks for financial support. The naive Taiwan geeks help unconditionally (maybe they think they might make sex later). Those who try to meet the con-woman in person are rejected. (These boys might be rejected so often that they don’t notice anything wrong)

Except for that one boy who did manage to see the girl of his dreams in person. He almost died of shock…

I don’t know if it’s the way the Taiwanese media portray criminals, but to me it seems like the bad guys in Taiwan are pretty weak.

Case in point, two car hijackers spot a great opportunity to hijack a man’s car. Unfortunately, they don’t know how to start the engine and give enough time for the victim to snatch his car keys back. Even worse, they have a gun but the gun is jammed. While the two struggle to get the car keys back, a police patrol passes by. A chase ensues, but it doesn’t last long as the hijacker is too tired and gets outrun by a girl.

The best part of this video is the first ten seconds. The hijacker sounds like he is having the orgasm of his life.

In the end, this makes Taiwanese thugs seem very weak.

Yes, the title for this post sounds so dumb that you would think it’s a title for a porno.

Funny that this shit is real and, once again, from the cute island of Taiwan.

Worthy of the title “The dumbest mom ever”, a Taiwanese mother forces her daughter to have sex with a man to help exorcise evil.

The mother only got suspicious and called the police when the exorcist asked for 2 million Taiwan dollars (66,890 USD).

Check the video out for more details…

It’s funny how a little makeup and styling can do to change one’s perception…

This is funny because I would actually really want to watch a Star Wars film with Arnold in it. I wouldn’t even mind if the movie was edited so that it was a cheap mix of an Arnold movie with Star Wars.

Sadly, the contents would probably contain neither Star Wars or Arnold Schwarzenegger…

Introducing the next generation in portable gaming – or not…

Not really sure how to explain such a story. It is definitely a WTF times two.

So in Henan province there is this cross-dressing 17 year old boy that came up with a plan, with two of his friends, to make some money. The plan was to get married to a mentally retarded man and then leave with the bride price. I guess this boy must really look like a girl to begin with. I couldn’t stop laughing, already, at this point in the story.

Now this is where the story gets really bizarre: at the night of the wedding, the uncle of the groom (presumably the person mainly responsible for taking care of him) intervenes. Turns out the uncle is one sick bastard and probably wanted this young “maiden” to himself, with the whole marriage as a foil for him to keep a sex pet. So he gets the retard to leave and then proceeds to rape the “bride”.

By now this cross-dresser realizes that he is not the only one with a twisted mind and flees. However, he gets caught by the villagers who rip his (I’m getting confused) clothes off to find that “she” is a he.

In the end, both sides sue each other. This I find incredibly hilarious cause you know what is going to happen – both go to jail. I can’t believe they actually went to court for this. What kind of justice were they expecting to be served?

After all this, I think it’s a shame they never became a family; those two are a match in heaven.

Here’s the video (with subtitles):
