| Chinese Olympic Champions, Guo Jingjing, Yang Yang and Liu Xuan Promote Breast Cancer Prevention Posted: 28 Oct 2010 11:12 AM PDT 
It’s always been my take that Chinese are able to do these kinds of campaigns in a more tasteful manner than their western counterparts. In any event, I’m all for there being less cancer in the world, no matter (well, almost no matter) how the prevention is promoted. Indeed, champions Olympic and otherwise are big draws to campaigns and business promotions. It’s good to know the Chinese (some) have a heart to for good, too, eh? Or is it just a PR thing? Chinese Olympic Champions, Guo Jingjing (diving queen), Yang Yang (gymnastics) and Liu Xuan (short speed skating) are doing their part to promote breast cancer prevention without doing the exposure thing.
Liu Xuan and Yang Yang Interesting…a campaign that doesn’t require the girls to strip down, pose nude or any other things to get the job done. 
Guo Jingjing Do you think Chinese do things more tastefully?  |

The Russian Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin, was seen having a black bruised eye, and this has sparked a wave of rumors in Russia and Ukraine. It was noted that the Prime Minister was wearing very heavy make-up to cover the dark patch around his eye. This incident was noticed, during his recent visit to his neighboring county, Ukraine.
 According to speculators, they feel, that the black belt PM, might have received a blow on his eye during a judo fight. His accomplices state that, this is because he has been working too much lately and also there wasnt sufficient light when he was spotted. On the other hand the Kremlin is very upset with the journalists behavior, in context to the black patch on the PM’s eye. A correspondent from Kremlin said, “Ukrainian, Russian and Western journalists… talked only of one thing – how did the Russian prime minister get a bruise under his eye?” On the other hand, it was also noted that the PM was in a bad mood during his meeting in Ukraine, as if someone had really punched him on his eye. Reports have also stated that the Kiev news conference was cut short and the dinner too was cancelled.  |
