what is the story?????

Note to Chinese consumer of luxury products: if the FuWa likes it, you must also! (No really. You MUST.)

[Terrorvision]

Not sure what the Hisense link with luxury products is (unless this is a Hisense Mall which is very possible*) but Hisense has an annual production capacity of:
10 million colour TVs
3 million air-conditioners
4 million CDMA phones
1.6 million refrigerators
1 million computers

The sales revenue of 2005 is $4.2 billion, putting Hisense among the top 100 Chinese electronics manufacturers. Only the Top 100 so imagine the sales revenue of the Top 10 Chinese companies!
Australians will be familiar with the name through the recently renamed Telstra Stadium to the Hisense Stadium.

I can't understand why they have the main flaked on the boom- either take it off or put a boom cover on it and maximise the sponsor exposure!

*On zooming in to the image i see that it says HiSense Plaza on the side of the hull so i guess this is a part of their sponsor return.

In another Olympic first in Beijing, a world record was set in the new olympic sport of Roshambo. The FT10 candidate from China edged out the popular and early favorites from Japan. Pokemon's Yuri and Kuri were both all smiles on the medal podium, but lashed out in a drunken tirade in the press conference that followed.

Using Google's "translate this page" function continues to plague Chinese Olympic officials today as they unveiled their new "Dry Sailing" venue for the F10 Olympic Class complete with "Tetrahedron" gate.

If Hermes and Prada made a sailboat... it would be

Expensive, Sexy, and Made in China.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, everyone tells me how cheap the Tiger is. Seems like $90k is still a lot of money.

jeez, the algae sure is thick in here.......which way to Qingdao?

SHANGHAI, China - The site of the Olympic sailing competition is clear of the bright-green algae that until recently had covered the sea off the city of Qingdao, a Chinese official said Tuesday. The Chinese government in past weeks called on thousands of poke'mon, soldiers, volunteers, and the new FT-10 to help remove the algae.
