Wacky waving inflatable asian child?

[–]Zissoo 2 points3 points ago

Wacky-Inflatable-Leg-Flailing-Asian-Boy

[–]nilleftw 24 points25 points ago

They told him he could become anything he wanted. So he became a Beyblade.

[–]DerpHerpson123 104 points105 points ago

Is that kid spinning on a dildo?

[–]NotSiZhe 20 points21 points ago

No, the stand is designed so the end can tilt at an angle and spin. There is a piece of cloth around the end (so the boy isn't biting metal and hurting himself) that can spin - this is shaped long and round at the end. That is sufficient for you to see a young boy with his mouth around a dildo but I would imagine (hope) not most people.

[–]DerpHerpson123 40 points41 points ago

No, if you look very closely at some parts you can see balls.

[–]NotSiZhe 0 points1 point ago

I looked again. No balls. What I think you see as balls are just two sides of the cloth covering. They hang down because the cloth covering for the end of the tripod is longer than the end of the tripod. Honestly, how often do dildos have balls attached anyway?

China lacks a decent welfare security net, so you do get kids on the streets performing tricks. What is on the video is unfortunately nothing very unusual. It is however a relatively sexually conservative country, and one where even moderate public displays of affection are often looked down on. A kid would not get peoples' change by spinning on a dildo in the street.

[–]DerpHerpson123 0 points1 point ago

smartass

[–]d10nt_ban_me_again 22 points23 points ago

Sometimes a dildo is just a dildo.

[–]Just_A_Dildo 31 points32 points ago

Yes, yes it is.

[–]Pakman5500 4 points5 points ago

2 months...I'll allow it

[–]d10nt_ban_me_again 0 points1 point ago

Yes you are.

[–]MYDOGSTELLA 0 points1 point ago

You are a poet

[–]d10nt_ban_me_again 0 points1 point ago

Dildo

'tis but a dildo

sometimes

I'm improving.

[–]NotSiZhe 0 points1 point ago

No. Actually look at the video. It is a piece of cloth covering the end of the tripod.

[–]FettFoxOrange 44 points45 points ago

Oh god. Ive seen this in person. Shenzhen. he has a brother who then works the crowd for tips. Id pay them to stop.

[–]NotSiZhe 8 points9 points ago

I've seen the act in many parts of China (and (a nicer version) on TV). Just be thankful the kid isn't deformed and/or covered with burns that all seem to be on the face, while an adult tries to get your money (this has also happened), all the while with someone next to you saying that the deformity is fake. To date I have seen/experienced that in Wuhan, Nanchang, and Shanghai. From what I've heard of Shenzhen I'm surprised you've not seen far worse.

[–]hoboto 2 points3 points ago

All those burn marks, scars, and deformities are legit in Vietnam.

[–]Junxilla 2 points3 points ago

I've also seen this while in ShenZhen. There are so many far worse things happening there..

[–]chads3058 0 points1 point ago

I've seen a few kids like this in both Shenzhen and Zhuhai. I wonder where this was actually taken.

[–]NotSiZhe 0 points1 point ago

Look at the thread posted by Klacky. Then tell me why it's hard to figure out adding the link to this message after only a small number of beers.

[–]muscle_city 23 points24 points ago

Pedobear just booked a ticket to Nanjing.

[–]brocoder 3 points4 points ago

I think that's more Shotacat's territory.

[–]Legendman3 2 points3 points ago

TIL....

[–]avagadro22 0 points1 point ago

I feel like I'm on some sort of list after seeing this...

[–]talitus 1 point2 points ago

Well it does kinda look like a list of names and quotes under his comment.

[–]Rabdar 5 points6 points ago

My turret's a Chinese man! Mongolian sappin' my Chinese man.

[–]DigitalEvil 6 points7 points ago

Father: What do you want to be when you grow up, son?

Son: I want to become a human Frisbee.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

I liked beyblade better. Or maybe a propellor

[–]WilliamGuerra 2 points3 points ago

lol, beyblade

[–]Klacky 2 points3 points ago

A guy on a previous posting of this gif suggested that he's probably a beggar child kidnapped from his family and forced to perform tricks. Comment thread here

edit: also found mentioned in this thread

[–]knows_what_is_up 13 points14 points ago

Massive repost.

[–]fkwillrice 1 point2 points ago

It's pathetic how people don't even wait substantial periods of time before doing it anymore.

[–]bamburger 8 points9 points ago

Or just maybe there are people out there who haven't seen it before, or people who have seen it before but don't get their panties in a twist over seeing the same .gif two separate times.

[–]felixjawesome 1 point2 points ago

Every time I see a .gif reposted on reddit I put on my best suit and take a drive down to the animal shelter and strangle myself a cat.

[–]bamburger 3 points4 points ago

You go to the same animal shelter each time? Fucking reposter.

[–]felixjawesome 2 points3 points ago

SPAY OR NEUTER YOUR PETS, GOD DAMN IT.

[–]chads3058 0 points1 point ago

I haven't used reddit in a month starting a few days ago. And really, I've only seen a few new posts since I've returned to reddit. It's actually quite sad and is making me wonder why I've even returned at all. I guess I'll just stick to the small subreddits and stay away from the karma whoreing ones like r/pics and /r/funny.

[–]Blitzwarp 3 points4 points ago

Excuse me, the character models on my video game keep glitching...

[–]Saxdog2005 1 point2 points ago

He's gonna be popular at the bath house later in life....

[–]anonymouslives 1 point2 points ago

His spine is made of gummy worms.

[–]WaterFireAirAndDirt 1 point2 points ago

Alright, who's going to step up and make the "LOL DIDNT READ" version of this?

[–]expected_crayon 1 point2 points ago

My only regret is that I have boneitis.

[–]atrophie 1 point2 points ago

I've seen this before. I don't have a citation but last time someone posted this gif someone commented w/ an article about child slavery in China, specifically kids who are forced to work as buskers.

[–]CrackerJack23 1 point2 points ago

I think there was a glitch in the system.

[–]cirajela 1 point2 points ago

Because, repost.

[–]matthewbruso 0 points1 point ago

That kid is going to be one hell of a male prostitute when he grows up.

[–]PINGASS 1 point2 points ago

Spinny spinny five dorrah!

[–]MbMn91 0 points1 point ago

...when he grows up?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

So many talented people living on the streets. What a waste.

[–]sigma_noise 9 points10 points ago

what would you hire him to do?

[–]dn00 21 points22 points ago

Perform his talents on the streets.

[–]iLiketrains131 0 points1 point ago

My first thought was that it looked like one of those silly Gmod videos in real life.

[–]helpmesleep666 0 points1 point ago

My neck hurts now.

[–]craigforster 0 points1 point ago

He is really going to need braces when he is older.

[–]moop__ 0 points1 point ago

I came here to see a backstory. Anyone have one?

[–]NotSiZhe 1 point2 points ago

Look at Klacky's information, and the link.

[–]milleribsen 0 points1 point ago

He's probably training to be in Beijing Opera.

[–]NotSiZhe 0 points1 point ago

Nice idea. Look at Klacky's thought - sadly that's more likely.

[–]REWK 0 points1 point ago

As impressive as that is I think I need to clear my history.

[–]SushiGradeNarwhal 0 points1 point ago

Looks like when I try to position ragdolls in Garrysmod.

[–]Gamer_king 0 points1 point ago

And so the human helicopter is created...

[–]DinoDuckROAR 0 points1 point ago

The new form of break dancing!

[–]vulpes_occulta 0 points1 point ago

DENTAL PLAN!

[–]Michi_THE_Awesome 0 points1 point ago

What is he spinning on? How is he doing that?

I would give this kid all my pocket change. (I actually have a lot of change)

[–]gracieuhoh 0 points1 point ago

Congratulations on having a lot of change!

[–]Michi_THE_Awesome 0 points1 point ago

The world needs change.

[–]The_Booshnaw 0 points1 point ago

Asian Levels are at maximum capacity! It's gonna blow!

[–]doyoulikebananas 0 points1 point ago

I seriously thought that kid was going to split in half at some point in the gif.

[–]NezFactor 0 points1 point ago

Somebody for the love of god put some money in that kids bowl.

[–]YoSanford 0 points1 point ago

My response: "ehh,...good job?

[–]gribaldy 0 points1 point ago

i guess it's casual for chinese poeple

[–]A-zure 0 points1 point ago

This boy is made of rubber

[–]Mcelite 0 points1 point ago

I hope they update the hack detectors soon because China is getting away with so much shit.

[–]Anthrax11 0 points1 point ago

but why?

[–]meatwad75892 0 points1 point ago

To impress a chick, do the helicopter dick.

[–]Layzrfyzt 0 points1 point ago

This shouldn't go as well as it does with "So Whatcha Want" by The Beastie Boys.

[–]Dickfore 0 points1 point ago

and the AVN best oral scene goes to...

[–]dacookeymonsta 0 points1 point ago

DAMMIT EA, FIX THIS BUG! MY ASIAN CHILD KEEPS GLITCHING!

[–]AMIRIGHTGUISE 0 points1 point ago

He's still becoming a doctor.

[–]NawRigga 0 points1 point ago

Is this real?? I realllly want it to be but somehow i just doubt it.

[–]ayonsk 0 points1 point ago

How the fuck does this develop?

Options 1. Parents force the kid 2. Kid has the interest, parents provide the means 3. Kid has the interest and goes out of his way to accomplish his goals - parents either are neutral or don't support it.

[–]ForeverAProletariat 0 points1 point ago

What. More like parents are gone or they have no money so they sell him for money.

[–]anduin1 0 points1 point ago

wtf...

[–]Trenched 0 points1 point ago

The asian dream of becoming a helicopter

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Stop speeding theses videos up for no reason.

[–]zapman111[!] 0 points1 point ago

Garry's mod?

[–]Ferlove 0 points1 point ago

Are you sure this isn't Japan? It's a child with a dick in his mouth, doing weird stuff, I think it's Japan.

[–]AnnihilatedTyro 0 points1 point ago

Currently in China myself... this is rather tame compared to a few of the things I've seen on the streets. But that makes it no less awesome.

[–]Benstuna 0 points1 point ago

Spine? What spine?

[–]Kaddus 0 points1 point ago

This kid probably makes 25 cents a day doing this.

Snooki makes over $25 million a year.

There's something terribly wrong with this picture.

[–]riceburner117 -1 points0 points ago

This is one of the first posts in a long time to actually make me say what the fuck out loud. Kudos.

[–]NotSiZhe 0 points1 point ago

I used to live in and travel around China, and saw way more fucked up, and fucking weird (not sure both together) stuff than this. Now I've a massive regret I didn't record stuff. Still an actually pretty cool place though.

[–]blahjellyham -2 points-1 points ago

Pretty sure he's spinning on a dildo.

[–]ciniseris -1 points0 points ago

In communist China, you are the spin toy.

[–]adezvj 0 points1 point ago

No, goddamnit, you will NOT murder my childhood!

[–]oppan -4 points-3 points ago

Because it's China.

[–]NotSiZhe -2 points-1 points ago

As a former English teacher in China, thank you.

[–]chupuhcabra 0 points1 point ago

you two need to look up the "because" meme. because self education.

[–]oppan 1 point2 points ago

No, because this meme sucks.

[–]Tim_Kaiser -2 points-1 points ago

Did anyone else make a woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo noise while they were watching that?
