Bringing down the house

Shanghaiist: This morning (Sep 20), the arrival of of the police, the blocking off of Huangpi Lu, the leading away of the occupants and the eventual demolition of the lone building. They have a little black dog with white feet, very cute and lovely. He always sits beside them in the days and nights. He was left behind when other resistances were forced away years ago, and adopted by these kind people. Once there was another dog nearly hit by a car and grounded, he kept bringing his food to support it, until someone called police to take the wounded to, reportedly, the zoo to be eaten. I used to stop by and play with him for a while on my way to Corporate Avenue. They also have a cat upstairs, but I never saw it as the cat doesn’t go downstairs to visit the dog. They told me before, that this place would not last for long. I planned to adopt or at least rescue the dog if the day comes and they cannot take him along. And this day came before I actually talk with them about it. Blame me. I went to the site on the night of demolition, hoping I can do anything to help. They were gone, people, the dog, and the building. Only a mess left. According to the constructor there, they brought the dog along with them in the morning. It’s a bit comforting that he didn’t get abandoned again. Bless these kind people. May they find their life some where else.

Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Blades

Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the fucking vanguard of shaving in this country. The Gillette Mach3 was the razor to own. Then the other guy came out with a three-blade razor. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called the Mach3Turbo. That's three blades and an aloe strip. For moisture. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happened—the bastards went to four blades. Now we're standing around with our cocks in our hands, selling three blades and a strip. Moisture or no, suddenly we're the chumps. Well, fuck it. We're going to five blades. - By James M. Kilts, CEO and President, The Gillette Company February 18, 2004 via the ONION And here comes the real deal: Seriously, I want one of these. And I don't shave, do I?
