That’s how strong my lobe is! So not only does Zhaozhuang City in Shangdong province have a used-car expo, but they also kick it off with insano publicity stunts like having a man pull a car with his ears.

MGM went bankrupt, but here’s the big problem. In the two years since it was shot, China has emerged into a Mega Gigantic Superpower from it’s merely Gigantic Superpower status.

Red Dawn is now said to be digitally altered from being Chinese to North Korea. Imagine… if they were trying to change it from Chinese to Libyans? Or Canadians to North Koreans. Or Mexico to Mongolians? (LA Times – Red Dawn Remake)
