Below pics (not by me) from here.
I had no idea what this was about either. Fortunately Lisa’s able to explain these things to Chinese illiterate people like me in her new blog, Lisa Road. Now it totally makes sense!
This is already old news to people in China (and right now I’m not in China so I’m excused), but check out China’s demonstration of their counter-terrorism prowess.
“Get out of the way! We have to pee!” Does anyone still play CS? Somebody needs to make a Segway mod for those who dare to be easy targets.
Flame throwers are especially useful of course, because when terrorists take hostages or blow themselves up, they’re never around any civilians.
Apparently for the track and field people who catch on fire. The caption at the website reads “water canon vehicles to disperse ‘mobs’.” Hmm. What kind of mobs, I wonder.

Chinese politics (PRC) makes me sad. I really don’t want to talk about it so don’t ask. Yes, American politics is dumb as well, but at least people bluntly talk about how stupid it is. But in Chinese politics there’s just so much nationalism and denial involved, which makes having a meaningful discussion impossible. Ugh…
Anyway, so what does this have to do with the above Suzumiya Haruhi video? Absolutely nothing. Politics makes me disgruntled but this video always makes me happy. Look at how cute they are! ☺
