Wear Your Iron Man Costume to Work Day (and Get Laid)

  • June 15, 2011 12:01 am

Telecom employee Wang Kang caused a stir when he showed up to his Shanghai office dressed like this:

Yup, it’s an original home-made Iron Man suit that Wang spent three months crafting out of high density foam, wires and assorted tubes. His aim? To surprise and impress his co-workers. In fact, the costume was so successful that security wouldn’t initially allow him entry into his own workplace. And once he made it past the guards?

“No colleagues knew my mission, and some of them froze there in seeing me approach. Some were even screaming for being scared,” said Wang.

But the story has a happy ending. Wang said his colleagues were impressed, his bosses praised him and women were “falling in love” with him.

An Ode to Breast Masseurs, Federal Breast Inspectors (FBI) & Take Back the Night!

  • May 23, 2011 12:01 am

China has become the world leader in many different fields and now you can add Breast Masseur to that list. Xia Jun of Shanghai has become China’s first licensed breast masseur after rigorous study under the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. Basically, what he does is massage the breasts of nursing mothers to help them produce milk.

So far Xia hasn’t had a single request for his services, but that hasn’t stopped him from “milking” his moment of fame by bringing interested individuals into his “bosom” to teach them breast massage techniques via a “tit” for tat arrangement (Yup, I fit three awkward sexual innuendos into one sentence so take that, every writer who’s ever worked on Three’s Company!). It probably doesn’t help that doctors say the massages have zero effect on milk production and many folks have blasted the practice for other reasons (said a Shanghai man: “It’s unbelievable. What kind of man would allow another man to massage his wife’s breasts?”).

Now, regular readers of my blog are probably expecting me to write about how I should be hired to be a breast masseur and how I’d be good great amazingly fantastic at this job in a God-like way. But no, that’s not where I’m going with this because…well, I’m sort of over breasts. You heard me right—been there, done that.

Because back in the fourth grade, I held a position that was somewhat similar to the job description above. You see…I was a member of the FBI a.k.a. the Federal Breast Inspectors. I even had my own badge:

Following Hope

40ish some years ago, many of our parents immigrated from Asia to the United States for a shot at a better life and greater opportunities for themselves and their kids.  I think about my mom and dad and how scary it must have been to pack up what little belongings they had and move away from everything they loved and found familiar to the other side of the Earth.  The language was totally different as was the food, the streets, the people, the sights, and the sounds.  Talk about a scarier than hell life change.  They had very little to no money but they ended up making it work.  I wonder if I possess the guts and/or the balls to do something similar today…

Shanghai Man Attempts Suicide With His Blow-Up Doll

  • January 15, 2010 11:23 am

I think my favorite TV show at the moment has to be 30 Rock and last night’s James Franco-guest starring episode was brilliant (you can watch it here). Franco, playing himself, embarks on a “fake” relationship with Jenna to hide from the public the fact that he is in love with a 2-D body pillow.

So you can imagine my further delight when I came upon a news posting with this headline immediately after watching the episode: “Shanghai Man Lands On Lover, Survives Suicide Jump.”  According to the story, a 50-year-old man named Yang jumped from his sixth story apartment with his blow-up sex doll in an effort to end his life. But luckily, he landed on the doll which exploded and cushioned his fall; thus saving his life. As a blogger for a site like YOMYOMF, you live for stories like this and I was all ready to have fun with it. But then I started reading the piece and it’s actually a sad and touching story. Here’s an excerpt:

Chinese Beauty in Red Coat entices the Interwebs

Lust, Caution 2: Electric Bugaloo

Lust, Caution 2: Electric Bugaloo

I had to write this up in response to Phil’s theory that Asian females are the hottest women ever. I’m currently in Taipei right now and saw this story on the evening news…. During President Obama’s visit to China almost two weeks ago, the Chinese media was rampant with reports not about foreign policy, the economy, internet rights or carbon emission policy.

Well, they were, but Chinese netizens were aflutter about the mysterious beauty that sat right behind the President during his speech in Shanghai on November 16. With her red coat and black dress, and steely, sultry looks, the identity of this hottie was under great speculation — ranging from being a cousin to famous actress, Fan Bing Bing, to being the niece to Yang Lan, a media tycoon in Shanghai
