Yes really. And here they are:
It features such lyrical invention as 'I wear a suit, I belong to the 'Tute'.
Entirely work safe, but it might induce feelings of intense nausea. With thanks to the Sydney Morning Herald for telling me all about it.

Its impossible to be chinese and "cool" .
RM - here it is as click through
DP - I'm trying to, but blogger keeps giving me the brush off...
PH - I don't know about that. Bruce Lee? Lucy Liu?
I agree, Croydonian. Bruce Lee was incredibly cool. To the max. The Chinese can be very cool, p hitchens, in their own way. It's just when they try to imitate the West that it doesn't always work. Although I think movie photographer James Wong has won Academy awards ... But when I lived in Singapore, I thought if I walked past one more karaoke bar, or heard one more karaoke played at top volume in someone's flat of a man belting out, with tremendous volume and off-key, 'My Way', I would scream.
Hong Kong's population is around 6m, many of them sensationally handsome and beautiful. Why, for the video, did they choose this crew? In fact, why did they make such a stupid video?
Han Chinese men are very handsome, by and large.

Come off it, I mean I am no expert on the subtleties of male attractiveness, but the Chinese?
They are a hideous collection, especially the men (so I am reliably informed)
I include the females in that generalisation.
Verity,
you have bamboo fever.
kept waiting for the clothes to come off and the bonking to begin.
never quite happened.
Some of you are a bit impish today...
I've dated across the major colour lines, and have known a number of good looking folk from ethnic backgrounds different to mine. Anyway, chacun à son goût.
If you could rustle up some photos of some hot Thai girls I think that would go down very well.
I did see a malaysian girl for a few months two years ago, totally different from Chinese (she assured me) they definately have differnt hair , more volume.
She was also the first person who told me that singapore joke
its a "fine" city
Can't say I know the Singapore joke. If it is unbelievably obscene, e-mail it, otherwise post it and I'll take a view on it.
The Chinese all look the same . Its the law.
"A sheriff who claimed all Chinese people look the same was backed by community groups today.
Sheriff Margaret Gimblett cleared student Hui Yu, 23, from Beijing, of a motoring offence on Friday after dismissing evidence from two police officers who identified him.
She reportedly told Greenock Sheriff Court that at first glance all Chinese people can look the same to a native Scot and a person would only begin to see the differences after looking at the person for quite some time. "
no
the "joke" is that its a "fine" city as in the fact that they fine you cold hard cash for anything, chewing gum , farting etc
Further to Newmania's comment, have a go at this test.
I asked a woman I worked with in Singapore if she remembered a friend I had brought to the office and she shook her head 'no'. "Sorry. All white people look the same to me." But, of course, once you get to know someone, you have no trouble recognising them, no matter what their race.
phitchens - That joke about a fine city has a beard on it. I'm amazed that anyone is still repeating it.
Yes, native Malays are a different race from the Chinese, obviously. They are Bhumiputeras (sons of the soil) and not as bright, by and large. That is why they can get a degree with 20% (if memory serves) lower grades than the Chinese and the Indians - on the same degree programme in the same university. The result of this dopey scheme is, the Malaysian Chinese and Indians who can afford it send their children to Australia or Singapore, and some to Britain and the US, where degrees are awarded on merit, not race.
It isn’t fair to say there aren’t handsome Chinese men, p hitchens, especially when it is clear your experience with Chinese people is so limited. There are – many of them Han, many of them very clever indeed. But from other regions of China as well. The Han tend to be the tallest. And very beautiful women - many of them stunning. And brainboxes. And successful at business and the professions.
Verity i didnt say Han were not tall or clever I just said that they were hideous looking people (on the whole)in my eyes.
As to Malays being stupid puhleeeeeeeeese.
I think you have spent a little too much time in the sun .
Did you see the thing about the vicar who misjudged a joke in his Parish news letter. he usually started with a pleasantry about the season ,and this time .....
"well now , theres a bit of nip in the air as we said when we were hanging them for war crimes ."
He was going to be defrocked or uncollared or something . I missed the end of the story( oh it was Japs , but same difference , slitty eyed devils)
'phitchens' - You have spent too much time under the dark cloud of your ego. I cannot imagine anyone denying there are handsome Han (and other Chinese) men. It seems so mean-spirited. But I'm willing to bet you've never knowingly seen one. You are so international you're going to flee Britain all the way to the IoM. Whoaaa! Hold that madcap dream! Watch out world!
You have known one Bhumiputera girlfriend, who no doubt deferred to you, which made you feel she was very intelligent for appreciating you. Fact: the Malays are not the brightest lights in the harbour. Their own government is keenly aware of this. That is why they have government programmes to get them degrees and business opportunities that are not available to the centuries' established Chinese and Indian immigrants who made the country what it is.
Institutionalised lower pass grades for Bhumis. Requirements that every public company over XXm ringgit must have a Bhumi on the board. Quotas for Bhumis in Parliament. OK, it is their country and they have rights of ownership over it. I wouldn't argue.
Why do you become offensive when someone makes a point you are unable to counter? I do not have "bamboo fever". I have not, as you patronisingly suggest from the point of view of obviously never having been outside Europe in your life, "spent a little too much time in the sun". I don't remember ever having gone out in the Equatorial sun at all. The shopping malls with underground or elevated parking, my office, my car and my flat were air-conditioned to a point that would make Al Gore's head explode.
There are bright Malays - of course there are! - I had a girlfriend who was married to one and he was a clever and lovely man. But their own government recognises that most need special advantages to advance.
Facile ad hominem insults chase fellow bloggers away.
Possibly the finest boss I've ever had was a Nanyang woman from Singapore. Elegant, poised and as sharp as a tack.
Oh, they are, they are. And the dress sense!
