I love how British people call Asian people oriental unless they're talking about Indian people who get to be called Asian. But what I love most of all is when old people call Asian dudes Chinamen because it is SO funny and makes me think, "cocksucker YOU" and itch to feed you to the pigs like in Deadwood! Anyway there's this article in China Daily about a new trend amongst affluent Sino-parents to send their prized baby boys to military school instead of smartypants private boarding school-type institutions because the country doesn't just conscript your sorry undisciplined ass into mandatory service for a couple years like really cool nations like South Korea and Finland. Amongst the skills learned at such hardcore academies of goose-stepping dudeliness is "memorizing codes and rules... finishing a meal without looking at [the] food" AND most importantly learning to "take criticism, no matter how unreasonable." Yawn, so basically these little guys LEARN HOW TO BE GIRLS.

I can finish a meal without looking away from the food.
Wait, though, for serious. Why is that desirable--blind eating?
So you can look for incoming shrapnel, I guess? In an actual war situation this might be valuable? Somebody who has been in battle please clue us in!
It's to prepare you for later life, when you grow up and go to this restaurant in Beijing.
... or maybe this one. (If you can eat dinner without looking, you should be able to html without looking.)
Or even this one! (Haha! Mantooth with the assist.)
Didn't they do that on Hell's Kitchen once? (Yes, yes. I watch a lot of terrible teevee.)
