Cheatin’ Chinese
Tagged as: May 04Sometimes Chinese people do good things. Sometimes Chinese people do bad things. And sometimes Chinese people sure do some stupid things.
Get this: Chinese people copied Disneyland. As in, they made a Disneyland park. Are you kidding me?!
I read an Engadget article about the fake Disneyland that got me to searching for more information. Amusingly, they have characters that closely mimic the Disney ones as well as rides that indicate how much of a fake it is. Their slogan (according to this other article) is that “Disneyland is too far.” Wow, that is unbelievable. I think that actually the most amusing thing about Beijing’s Shijingshan Amusement Park is that its website is http://www.bs-amusement-park.com. Haha you read that right, it’s the BS amusement park.
Although pretty humorous, this actually touches on a more serious issue (which was touched on at Even Worse Than At First Glance). And that issue is copyright infringement (or in this case complete disregard for copyrights whatsoever).

Yeah I heartily agree with you. It’s amazing what people will do. I see more and more why it’s important to not buy pirated goods. I will not support that.
@kiki
I looked at the website for a little bit and thought that it was pretty scary. But I think that I was more preoccupied with the fact that their website said for itself that it was the BS amusement park. Plus I didn’t feel like staying long at a Chinese language only site where I might accidentally go to a link that I didn’t want to.
[...] does not just affect music as I wrote in Even Worse Than At First Glance, Cheain’ Chinese, and (in regards to cheating in general) Cheaters 4 Life. Wow I did not realize that I had so many [...]
