Links

I just thought that I might add a few links to the blogs of Chinese cyberlebrities I have been studying recently:

Muzi Mei


Furong Jiejie



Xiao Pang

Back Dorm Boys

There are a lot of strange people on the Internet

One thing that strikes me about wandering through cyberspace is the never ending column of weirdos that I encounter.

One that springs to mind at the moment is Muzi Mei, Chinese sex blogger. I'll not repeat her story here, because it has repeated far too often before。 Needless to say, her choice of communication was groundbreaking in China and she is almost singlehandedly reponsilbe for th explosion in popularity of blogging in that country. Or at least that is what hyperbolic commentators insist upon. It is not my purpose to debate here whether or not that is the case, but one oddball has gone on to spawn many other oddballs.

One of which is this person. It appears that s/he has some sort of a rescuers syndrome going on, and is intent upon saving Muzi Mei through artistic critique. Furthermore, the URL seems to be at odds with the goal of the page as described by the text. 'funstuff_69" and religious moralising don't normally go hand-in-hand.

Muzi Mei has also caused copycat sex bloggers such as Furong Jiejie to appear. Furong Jiejie is a rather boring and plain narcissist, who gets hits by being controversial. She does this by making ridiculous claims vis a vis censorship or her own beauty.

I suppose that is the beauty of cyberspace, each gets to be their own.
