MidtownCoog Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 It's like this was an unintended and delayed April Fools joke. Some threads deserve to die.So who wants to go celebrate China! Maybe they'll have an exhibit on how to skin a dog while it's still alive. Make good meat. You eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Timmy Chan's Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 ... dangit, how come i never saw this thread before. I usually never go to Int. Fest. but last year I would have.The bands listed above (George Clinton et al) are for THIS YEAR'S I-Fest.I go every year, but I never go for the "host country". The music and the food are my reasons for going! Although the Shaolin Kung Fu exhibition sounds like a good thing too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Freaking China! What MORON picked China? China no good.What's wrong with China? It doesn't seem particularly better or worse than other theme countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonmacbro Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 Yeah, I thought it was a little odd too that when you goto the site it has a number of other ethnicities and cultures highlighted. In fact, I saw the itty-bitty logo with China at the top and at first thought they were simply sponsoring a portion of the festival.It (their logic) is a bit ... perplexing.

dbigtex56 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Freaking China! What MORON picked China? China no good. Yeah, 4000 years of culture, 1.3 billion people...not a lot to work with there. Should have gone with the Cayman Islands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 China is not exactly a mystery. I've been seeing them air their dirty laundry (literally) at the consulate on Montrose for 20 years. I've got their number.I'll be sure to check out these tents:Organ theft ringsFalon Gong supressionOld School CommunismTasty endangered animalsHow to ruin the environmentWorking with Wal-MartSlave TradeBurn TibetKeeping the Rural Poor, PoorHuman Rights Campaing - Who Cares!Currency Manipulation 101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo58 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Sounds like it will be a blast this year. I couldn't see is it being North Korea that were honoring, isn't that the country that has complete disdaine for America? Actually so may countries hate us right now I lost count. Diane Sawyer had a lenghthy docu on N Korea about a month ago. Boy do they hate, hate, hate us. However, they know all of our history, discretely watch our tv shows (know all the soap opera stars) & secretly buy many US pop culture items. The ruler of the country orders them to loath us. Any way... other topic. Peace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidtownCoog Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 you can't possibly not acknowledge their entire culture because of that.Sure I can! But thank you for reminding me. Try THAT in China:China Tightens Internet Controls - http://www.hrw.org/press/2001/08/china-0801.htmAccording to iFest it's not acknowledgement. It's a "an ancient and future celebration." Thankfully they decided not to focus on the present. This entire event went downhill the day someone decided to call it the "iFest". I bet it was the same guy who came up with NoDo.

I had no idea that they started calling it those scary names. I keep thinking I might see a U-Haul truck filled w/fertilizer parked near the festival now, especially after all these scary threads.

MidtownCoog Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 It's all in fun... I plan to check it out during lunch hour. They have a few events planned during the week.
