When intellectuals, even if they are only undergraduates, get offended, it is mostly fun. Some undergrates at the London School of Economics think this is 'media imperialism". And they get high end support. Danwei discovered they have offended at least a few of the people with this funny movie:
Here is Danwei's defense. The movie got a pretty good rating at YouTube, but that might chance of course now we have discovered its real character.

Well, I don't really get what you said. You talked about the possibility of Chinese people getting offended by this, but why? This is actually so true and none of Chinese people are trying to point this out even if they are full aware of this, coz apparently we ouselves are so afraid of losing face. I had a group of teenagers in my class, half of whom barely understand what their names mean to the rest of the population, I'm saying that some of them are really weird and you just can't help laughing, yet they don't give it a damn.
