SHANGHAI SUPER GIRL.

Super Girl is the rough Chinese equivalent of American Idol but a billion times larger and more intense. Its season finale drew in over 420 million viewers, making it not only the most-watched TV program in the history of ever, but one with an audience larger than the populations of the US and Great Britain combined.

In this series, Yang Lei leads on a little tour of her country as we try to wrap our minds around the insanity that is 21st century China.

It's funny because it's from his book Digital, and the way we cropped it, edited it and photographed it kinda makes it looks like film. Weird. But yeah.....just killing time, that's all:









Hooray! By the way, did you guys see this:



From all of us here at MC, (and maybe speaking for many others out of jealousy) we just want to say this to you:
