  Pic won't load!

William Wonka (known as Billy Bear when he dresses up) and the Development Loompah band perform "My Balls!" an operatic commentary on the clash between socialist and capitalist values and the emerging "soft" power of New China.

Bear (sings): My balls! My balls!
Development Loompahs: Your balls! Your balls!
Bear: Oh, my balls!
Development Loompahs: Where are your balls!
Bear: Where are my balls?

Widely regarded as a telling critique of Western society, "My Balls!" sums up many a common farmer's perception of our common global future, says Hu Jintao.

What the hell is that thing to the right of the bear?

I've been trying to rack my brains with all the objects in this pic. Its so wierd on so many levels, anything I say won't add a thing   

"See? ? ? I told you he had no penis" 

Perhaps something to do with the bear market - and all the chinese people bow to this new God.

(ok so i originally posted this in a place where no-one looks! my bad - lets try again) 

What is stuffed down the back of their shorts?!?!?! (on second thoughts, i dont think i want to know)...

my explanation:

We've got a few boys who watched one too many Mighty Duck movies and decided to pull a "flying V" on the big nasty bear who was blocking their path to the God of enlightenment, who just so happend at that time to be busy trying to teach his side-kick, Dog-of-God-of-Enlightenment, how to acutately portray the Greek God Poseidon. And as for the objects down the back of the shorts... well, i'll just let your mind wander on that one.  th_bf

Shorts? I think they look more like diapers. East is Red Smuggies, or some such.
Wossname in the right background? That's 5000 year old dinosaur years of history and culture. Male genitalia? Please, this is in a public place. In China. It's just that you need a magnifying glass

Calach, I was eating my dinner while reading these, and yours made me laugh so hard I dropped my bowl. Only a quick last-minute grab averted total disaster.

I think My Balls!  would make a tremendous opera, and no mean allegory on life.

Finally, I get to see the picture! There are some weird minds in China!
Bare-faced developers!

WOW!!! No wonder he's mad. They were supposed to go for the Gall,not the Balls.

OK, kids...fresh meat.

Hired to create a 'position vacant' sign at the new
restaurant, ming-Guo mistakenly-thought the boss told him to
include "nice, friendly coworkers".

(nahh, but on a similar-track):-

"Part-time English student and signwriter Wang, is forever
confusing 'new', with 'niu' when he gets verbal-instructions"

(I'm not doing well with this. I've only just tonight read Calach's
"My Balls" masterpiece!, and I've been laughing at that for over an hour! Can hardly type right-now!!)

That's not the original? How was I to know? All you big noses look the same to us.

Come to McDonald's for some hot, fresh niubi!
