Make Your Own Lamborghini

So can't afford to buy yourself a Lamborghini sports car? Then make one yourself. This was made by a guy from Hunan, China. Everything seems to be made of solid steel, which will make the car rather heavy from the look of it.

This is an all frame structure "car". Not sure how it can handle a collision...

Almost done... Just need a paint job.

There you have it, a home-made Lamborghini, proudly made in China

Overload

What is overloading? This is how much weight a Suzuki Alto can handle. It's quite common to see this in China, but not so in Beijing.

Chinese Avatar

The movie Avatar was overwhelmingly popular in China that at one point local censors have to stop cinemas from showing the movie so that locally produced movies can attract movie-goers. IMAX cinemas which were showing the movie in 3D were packed for many weeks and inflated ticket prices by up to 200%!

The photos below show the Avatar craze by some students in Chongqing during the opening ceremony of their school sports.

Somehow these look quite real.

A view from behind.

Surely thin and blue!

"Will I be the spotlight of the day?"

Let the march begin!



Raid on Vice Activities

Prostitution is illegal in China and if you're caught, you'll be in a hot soup. The photos below show a recent raid by police on vice activities in Nanning city.

This policeman is reading the contents of a "memoir" of a sex worker who was caught in the raid.

Obviously this couple will be in trouble.

Some form of a chair for you-know-what.

Even a fancy cage to fulfill your wildest fantasies?

Condoms and vibrators.

Various "methods" used to please customers - all written down.

The ones who were caught.
