China TV Hosts Takes It All Off On Ride To Work
Stripping for the sake of the environment may be a concept many of us are not (and may never be) ready for, but for one popular television host in China, it is the way to go literally.
Ou Zhihang, a host at Guangdong TV station, has already gleaned a bit of a reputation for doing pushups naked at conspicuous locations, but he has really pushed the naked envelope as far as it can go with his ride to work, which he claims will encourage people to adapt a low carbon lifestyle.
“I want to promote environmental protection and low-carbon life via an extreme but also effective way, which is the nude body language,” Ou explained to the press.
His notorious bike ride along the bank of the Zhujiang River in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province attracted quite a bit of attention and he waved to onlookers as he posed for pictures a buffo while riding his bike.
Some people have criticized that his stunts aren’t public enough and that he should perform all of his naked endeavors in the core of the city.
Ou’s response was quite amazing considering his naked condition.
“I am a shy person in public. That’s why even in my pictures I never show my private parts,” Ou said.
Do we really think so?
It’s difficult to concentrate on shyness with everything hanging out, no?

Foreign woman strolls naked around town
MIRI residents were shocked when a 25-year-old foreign woman walked nonchalantly in public without a stitch of clothing on her body, Sin Chew Daily reported.
The daily said the woman took off her clothes in front of a nightclub before walking naked on the streets at 8am on Saturday.
The woman walked slowly as though she was parading on the catwalk and also “danced” in front of a car.
The newspaper said some people took pictures of her with their handphones.
The woman became emotional when a group of men apprehended her and tried to put clothing on her.
She was later taken to the Miri police station, where the police asked her relatives to take her home.

Don’t roll out red carpet for Najib, Britain urged
PETALING JAYA: The consensus from international organisations is that the red carpet should not be rolled out for Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak when he begins his official visit to Britain today.
Najib begins his four-day official visit to the UK today, after which he is expected to be in Rome to meet with Pope Benedict XVI.
Najib has said that street protests are not the Malaysian way but the International Human Rights community are angry with him and the police force for denying Malaysians their basic rights during Saturday’s Bersih rally.
Amnesty International (AI) had even gone a step further and called for heads of states to censor Najib .
“Prime Minister Najib’s government rode roughshod over thousands of Malaysians exercising their right to peaceful protest,” said Donna Guest, deputy Asia-Pacific director at Amnesty International in a statement.
“This violent repression by the Malaysian police flies in the face of international human rights standards and cannot be allowed to continue,” she added.
“The British government shouldn’t reward this brutality by rolling out a red carpet for Malaysia’s prime minister… (British Prime Minister) David Cameron should tell prime minister Najib that these human rights violations against peaceful reform protests are unacceptable,” she said.
Amenesty International also called on the Vatican to press Najib to respect human rights when he visits the pope later this week.
AI also highlighted the many complaints of police hard-handedness during the rally. It said that the use of force by the police was “excessive, unnecessary and designed to instill fear”.
The Malaysian government however has denied this and said that it has video footages of its own to show otherwise.
The international human right watchdog also asked the Malaysian authorities to investigate claims that police failed to provide immediate assistance to Baharuddin Ahmad, the husband of PKR Setia Wangsa chief, who passed away in the vicinity of KLCC due to heart complications during the rally.
The United Nations (UN) had also took Najib and the police to task for the handling of Saturday’s rally and events leading up to it.
Frank La Rue, UN special rapporteur on the right to freedom of opinion and expression, said that the Malaysian government “risks undermining democratic progress to the country” with the pre-emptive measures taken to derail the rally.
“Declaring Bersih illegal based on claims that it is trying to topple the government or it is a risk to national security and public order – in the absence of any credible evidence to substantiate such claims – is also an unnecessary restriction of civil and political rights,” La Rue added.
The UN also reminded Malaysia that as a member of the Human Rights Council, Malaysia has pledged to uphold the “highest standards in the promotion and protection of human rights”.
Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch highlighted that the estimation by the authorities over the number of protesters “lacked any credibility”.
“The claims that the number of protesters only numbered 6,000 lacks any credibility, it defies logic that the police were so efficient that they arrested almost one of every three protesters,” said Phil Robertson, Deputy Director of the organization’s Asia Division.
Bersih organisers have said that about 50 000 supporters have turned up for Saturday’s rally. Police, however, have put the number at only 6,000. Press reports estimate that there were 10,000 to 15,000 people who participated in the rally.
“This is a maelstrom of the Malaysian authorities’ own making. The failure of the top levels of the Malaysian government to engage in good faith dialogue with citizens demanding basic electoral reforms is the heart of the matter,” he said.
“The biggest victim is the country’s reputation as a moderate democratic state,” he added.

Number of China websites plummets due to internet controls
The number of websites in China dropped dramatically last year, a new report says, with more than a million sites shut due the Chinese government’s repressive internet controls.
China had 1.91 million websites at the end of 2010, a 41 percent drop from the previous year, according to a report by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, a government think tank.
Independent experts say the drop in websites is due to China’s heavy handed internet controls and recent censorship campaigns, the Telegraph reports
"The number of interactive websites, including online forums, has plummeted," Wu Qiang, an internet analyst at Tsinghua University, told Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post. "The drop in numbers was effective in controlling speech. Online forums and bulletin boards are much less active than before."
However, the CASS report blamed the decline in websites on an economic downturn and campaigns to root out internet pornography and spam.
"China has a very high level of freedom of online speech," said CASS researcher Liu Ruisheng, the BBC reports. "There have been very few cases where websites were shut down in recent years purely to control speech."
The Chinese government aggressively blocks human rights websites such as Amnesty International, social networking sites such as YouTube, Twitter and Facebook, and many other sites through controls known as the “Great Firewall of China.”
China has the world's biggest online population with 457 million internet users, Agence France-Presse reports.

‘Lady of Liberty’ at Bersih 2.0 march draws online support
KUALA LUMPUR, July 11 — Quiet has settled over Saturday’s chaos but one image is still making waves on the Internet — the picture of an elderly woman in yellow, drenched in rain and chemical-laced water, walking away from riot police while clutching on to a long-stemmed flower and a near-empty mineral water bottle.
She is Annie Ooi Siew Lan, a 65-year-old retired English teacher who took a bus from Setapak in the early morning of July 9 to join thousands of others in Bersih 2.0’s march for free and fair elections. An unknown man had offered her the flower in the morning and she waved it like a flag throughout the four-hour march.
Netizens have dubbed her “Aunty Bersih”, and even Malaysia’s “Lady of Liberty”, for placing her health and safety at risk to join a march the government had declared illegal.
Pictures of the diminutive Ooi strolling in the war zone that Kuala Lumpur had turned into are all over the Internet, inviting messages of awe and wonderment from netizens across the country.
On Facebook, at least three fan pages were set up in dedication to Ooi immediately after the event. One page called “Malaysian Lady of Liberty” attracted 17,176 “likes” as of 9am this morning.
Ooi was one of the few who dared to turn up in yellow to mark the occasion, despite earlier warnings that those with clothes indicating support for the outlawed Bersih 2.0 coalition would be arrested.
Speaking to The Malaysian Insider through her daughter over Facebook chat last night, Ooi confirmed that she had been tear gassed four times and sprayed with the water cannon once during Saturday’s pandemonium.
She said she was unsure of what time the rally was scheduled to start or where, but was determined to support its cause by participating in it even if she had to do it alone.
“She took the bus to General Hospital because the roads into town were blocked,” her daughter related. “She walked to Chow Kit, Maju Junction, went into the back lane of Little India to pass Masjid Jamek, avoiding cops, heading to National Mosque but was stopped at Dayabumi.”
There, Ooi was interviewed by one uniformed policeman and four others in plainclothes. They asked for her IC and recorded her details, then asked her why she was dressed in yellow. “Why can’t I wear yellow?” she asked in return.
According to a post by a blogger who claimed to have spoken to Ooi before the march began, the feisty retiree had asked other protesters why they did not turn up in yellow as well. “Why do we have to feel so scared in our own home land . . . and by own countrymen,” she had reportedly said.
A newbie at street protests, Ooi also did not know what to do in the event that she got gassed, and had not brought anything to protect herself, her daughter said.

“She wasn’t prepared for any of the attacks,” her daughter said. “She went without protection; no goggles, no masks, no salt, nothing. It was horrible . . . the coughing, and didn’t know how to stop the discomfort and pain. After the second gassing, she was offered salt by someone and it helped a lot.”
Despite this, eyewitnesses claimed on the Internet that Ooi had marched on determinedly during the protest and despite the chaos, even yelled at others not to run.
When told to ask her mother if she would dare to brave another march for the same cause, her daughter replied, “Without a doubt”.
“There was a very strong oneness in spirit which she had never felt before in this country,” added the daugter. “Especially from the younger generation which have their years ahead of them yet marched on despite the possibility of ruining their lives by getting arrested.”
Ooi was among the thousands of protesters who took to the streets of Kuala Lumpur on Saturday to march in support of Bersih 2.0’s demand for electoral reforms.
More than a thousand people were arrested, and chaos broke out at midday after the police fired tear gas canisters and sprayed water cannons to break up the crowd.

Facebook hire iPhone & PS3 hacker GeoHot! Now he is working for Facebook!
Since he came up with the LimeRa1n exploit that is still being used in the latest iOS jailbreaks, we haven’t heard much from famed hacker GeoHot. As a matter of fact, we haven’t heard anything at all. Until today.
We were just tipped off by the folks at Tech Unwrapped that George Hotz is now working for Facebook. Needless to say that I was a bit skeptical about the news and when I inquired for more details, I was pointed to GeoHot’s very own Facebook profile where he confirms that he is indeed working for Facebook…
The news got first dropped by @FlawLessFox, the founder of MyGreatFest in a video interview with iPhone hacker P0sixNinja.
According to Gabe Rivera, GeoHot started working for Facebook in May, but he only announced it on June 17. If you have a look at his Facebook profile, it’s pretty clear that he is not joking.
Wanna friend GeoHot on Facebook? Forget about it because there is actually no “Add Friend” button.
So what is GeoHot doing at Facebook? Working on the iPad version of the Facebook app? Working on the mysterious Facebook phone? Your guess is as good as mine at this point.
Let’s wish him good luck and see what he will come up with in the future.
