The Taiwanese Media Strikes Again!

PrintSome of you may remember the article I wrote a while ago poking a bit of fun at Next Media Animation's unique take on the Michael Vick story. This is the same company that has made entertaining videos on (among other topics) the Brett Favre scandal, the Ben Roethlisberger scandal and the Tiger Woods scandal. Now, they've seen it fit to turn their sights on the City of Brotherly Love in a video ever-so-subtly entitled: Is Philadelphia the Crappiest Place to Live?
When asked why they chose Philly, a spokesperson for Next Media claimed,"It was an easy target."
It's on, Taiwan. You just poked the bear.
Hat tip to NorthPhillyKid for the find.

As long as we're talking about shitty places to live....
why don’t we talk about all the plastic toys that I had as a kid that were made in Taiwan for probably $0.08/hr.
Gtfo, Taiwan. ’Merica!
"On the flip side, though, Bleeding Green Nation cites a PFF study that says Jackson dropped the highest percentage of catchable passes (19.67 percent) of any receiver in the league last year. I think he also dropped that punt at the end of the last Giants game. But then he picked it back up."
/sarcasm
but seriously, wtf?

Dear Taiwan
You are only a country because America lets you be. Without us, you’d be a Chinese island. Your welcome.

Technically, it’s not even a country.
Hey, Republic of China, you lost that civil war! Everybody’s fine with the communists.
It is not recognized by the United States as a sovereign nation
but it was before the US-Sino agreement in the early 70’s. I believe it was 1973.

true
but The U.S. does not recognize it as a part of China either. it is kinda of an oddity. We sell them arms like a nation and we keep China from attacking them like an allied nation but so that we don’t cause China to lose face, we do not officially recognize them as a sovereign nation. Therefore let me correct my previous post.
Dear Taiwan
You are only not a Chinese island because of America. You’re welcome.

From the outside, I understand the perception...
But is there anyone actually living in Philadelphia that can confirm it is not the crappiest place to live?
I’ve never lived there, so I really can’t say either way.
It takes great work and thinking to keep from doing work.

You ended up with Brees and Aaron Rodgers
and I got auto-picked Matt Cassel and Josh Johnson, who was never even the starter. Even though it’s my responsbility to be at a computer that actually lets me log in for the draft (12:30 on Sunday btw) it still screamed “rigged” when you got two dope QBs and it couldn’t even autopick me two starters.
Thanks to our trades tho I almost made the playoffs!

Taiwan is great!
Where else can you go to have violent sex with hordes of 12 year old sex slaves??
It’s a paradise!!!!!

I gotta say, I'm impressed with the Preston and Steve cameo.
I’d be interested to hear their take on this. I also love how they used completely misinformed bits (cheesesteaks, change of National Capitol) to further the argument. Weird video. Maybe someone on the news staff went to Philly and got mugged or something?
probably got mugged …

OH NO

Fuck Taiwan, they’re not even a real country.
Merry Vickmas everyone! * Falls into pile of snow DeSean style *

I don’t care who you are, that shit is funny… so random
"I'm 95% sure that 100% of what he says is wrong."
I doubt this even came from Taiwan.

For one, the guys in the chair eating the cheese steaks have Steve & Preston t-shirts. Who in Taiwan knows who Steve and Preston are? I’d bet that less than 2% of the population of North Jersey knows who Steve and Preston are, much less Taiwan.
Would this be even remotely funny if some American voice were narrating? Not even a little bit. But narrate it in Mandarin (or whatever) and throw some subtitles on it, and you have something.

I had the same impression.
I missed the shirt, but it just felt like it was written by someone familiar with the area. Maybe this is how The Real LT is trying to get back on the site.
UGHHOOH We Are
Wery wery sorry, We have such small pEnus….
Americans have such large pEnus…
