This week's avatar: alternate headings

Well, I know the ManPig will be missed, but here's the new one already!

Please tell me what the Chinese says,RD

The only part I can see says - advertisement.

Hey Raoul,

Any chance this could be taken off or at least shortened this week? It looks far too real and if you've had students actually take their own lives (like I have) I find this a tad upsetting to see on here. I can't believe they would use a real person for this, China's hit a new low!

Thanks.

I think it's a dummy.

It's a dummy.
Or it was. I give up.

OK, here we go. Unless this one is somehow offensive too.

And I'm sorry, Becs. Actually not trying to single you out.
Probably just the depression talking.

What about if I find the new one offensive,RD ?

Thanks Raoul ....though all those Chinese smiles can be depressing too! Wonder what's going on behind them?

Dunno. I like to think they're all fresh from some really degenerate Swingers' Party.

Remember last week's pig mutation program competition? Here are the scientists who won first prize

Anyone notice how the lady in blue is pick-pocketng the lady in red?

Random picture info -- That big truck in the back was one of the floats from China's 60th birthday parade (I saw it in person and it was HUGE). This must be shortly after the parade itself finished because the floats later ended up in T-square, which isn't where this picture was taken, obviously.

Hard to say...is that statue in the background the actual Monument to the People's Heroes, just inside one end of the Square, or is it a (pretty impressive) replica, built on a truck-bed as a float?
