Who says the broadcasters at the national TV CCTV have no sense of humor? Behind closed doors they have. China Digital Times points at this video of their internal New Year gathering. Here is their translation of the lyrics:
"No news shows are not truthful
No information is not timely
No programs are not excellent
No audiences are not loyal
No interviews are not comprehensive
No recordings are not lively
No perspectives are not brand new
No live broadcasts are not done perfectly.
All these years we could only do what we've been told
Tonight let's be the master for once.
No national conferences are not succesful
No sports games are not intensive
No official speeches are not important
No applause is not a thunderstorm
No festivals are not celebratory
No diplomatic meetings are not friendly
No participation is not enthusiastic
No performances are not award-winning
Oh go to hell, let's quit
Many thousands time we ask ourselves, is this the kind of life any human
being can stand?"
Update: Ah, same mistake again. I was just notified by my always dilligent readers that the movie was already posted in May last year. So, it might have been last year's New Year Party. I will leave it hear anyway, it is interesting enough. An it is Chinese New Year.
