I'm sure it would have already been posted but I didn't see it so yeah.

Rough translation via YouTube's captions:

"I hope that one day the newspaper will be able to tell the truth as expressed in foreign media. It would be great when they don't have to make compromises."

"No, I have no worries (talking about this)."

"These were the last words we hear of Jiang Di. In front of our eyes, he's immediately thrown into a dirty van by State security and abducted. Because it is how Chinese communists rule the country-- through fear."

It is worth looking at the chinese comments through google translate for some perspective.

What is the deal with pictures like this? I see them all over the place on less savory messageboards, typically the ones dominated by western Europeans. I mean, I get the "message" they're trying to send, but how could this sort of thing possibly appeal to anyone besides already committed racists?



We are the best, the original Imperialists. The Chinese? Piff, a couple of countries around them for a few thousand years. The Americans? Children only hoping to try and do the damage we did, to be equal to the poo poo we've done. Lynchings and slavery were a good attempt as was the eradication of the Natives, but They didn't have no Congo Free State, no carving up of a continent, no sirree. drat good attempts in South America though.
We Europeans, we are the poo poo when it comes to hate, to murder, to oppression. We hosed the world up and it still hasn't recovered and maybe never will. How many of the problems of the day can we tie back to the British, the French, the Dutch? Which part of the world didn't suffer the whip, wasn't stolen from, wasn't hosed over in some way?
And hell, I like to think that most of us have stopped supporting, learned something from all the bad poo poo we done. But some just loving didn't and sometimes they seem many. Some people think that because we pissed, shat and hosed up the rest of the world for a couple hundred years and profited greatly from it, were top dog to the detriment of everyone else, that the cessation of said up-fuckery is something bad and terrible, maaan, don't you miss the days when the lesser peoples knew their place? Now the goddamn savages expect rights and we suddenly have to follow someone that isn't one of us? Argh! The only logical answer to this is to go loving crazy racist and right-wing! That will solve loving everything!
Ehh. Or something like that.

Rise of religious opposition, a rise in the previously ridiculously low price of whiskey, distillation concentrating into major businesses and becoming a viable target of populist political attacks, industrialization (although why specifically that year, I don't know). From The Alcoholic Republic: An American Tradition by W. J. Rorabaugh, who also notes that

quote:

This American experience was not unique, for a glut of distilled spirits has preceded industrial development in many modern nations. A mid-eighteenth-century craze for gin preceded England's Industrial Revolution, mid-nineteenth-century distilled spirit binges preceded the rapid transformations of Prussia and Sweden, and an upsurge in vodka consumption preceded the industrialization of Russia. In each of these cases, as in the United States, agricultural surpluses had created conditions favorable to rapid industrial development.
So countries black out and wake up the next day with factories everywhere.

That is easily my favorite book about early American drinking culture, and origins of prohibition.

A statement on the Zombie Bait Edition:

We deeply apologize for any offense caused by the Dead Island Riptide "Zombie Bait Edition", the collector's edition announced for Europe and Australia. Like many gaming companies, Deep Silver has many offices in different countries, which is why sometimes different versions of Collector's Editions come into being for North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.

For the limited run of the Zombie Bait Edition for Europe and Australia, a decision was made to include a gruesome statue of a zombie torso, which was cut up like many of our fans had done to the undead enemies in the original Dead Island.

We sincerely regret this choice. We are collecting feedback continuously from the Dead Island community, as well as the international gaming community at large, for ongoing internal meetings with Deep Silver's entire international team today. For now, we want to reiterate to the community, fans and industry how deeply sorry we are, and that we are committed to making sure this will never happen again.
