Would be cool to see you do a video on China's plastic surgery trend. It seems to be extremely popular there.

This is why I never try to miss a live broadcast. I was getting blasted with ads for among others a chromed out demented excused for a Rube Goldberg device called robo-clock, had a feeling this episode was coming. Honestly my first thoughts on all the crap being sold is there's gotta be a whole office somewhere of people getting paid by the idea. Then again though knowing the CCP's priorities mixed with oversight and corruption it could be much bigger and more ridiculous. Like this adaptation of popular knickknacks on the Chinese internet for western consumers could legit be a policy scheme to soak up unemployment in light industry. I'm not denying the fact that this could also be 100% serious certain Japanese, Korean & Taiwanese trends that were culturally weird at first have become popular in America and the greater West. Any Chinese product or business that goes mainstream in the US is an economic, soft power & domestic propaganda win. If I'm pulling on the right thread with this latter idea the fact that Westerners who had settled in China are being harassed and driven out while "foreign influences" are being purged in inane ways might be a big part of why we're laughing at this. At the least the person to person cultural crossover and understanding in Japan, South Korea & Taiwan isn't there anymore in mainland China. People or their property are getting attacked for being seen pro whichever country the beef of the week is with. instead of being a desired commodity in the workplace to say hey this will be the opposite of cool and popular in the West.
