Vox, I just posted a reply at Ybor--I do think the site is real. I even checked it at Snopes--no mention of it being a spoof or urban legend. I also posted this comment:
Here's a great article about Internet censorship in China (yay BBC):
"So Chinese netizens find themselves surfing in the shadow of the world's most sophisticated censorship machine, which is now more menacing than ever.
There is now an estimated 30,000-strong internet police force which, with the aid of Western-provided technology, is dedicated to monitoring websites and e-mails.
On a technical level the five gateways which connect China to the global internet filter traffic coming into and going out of the country.
Keyword blocking technology - much of it provided by western companies - is used to prevent access to offending sites."

Okay, you want a caption...how about:
Pole Goes Here.

That's FUNNY, YES.
Oh, also in case no one reads it at ybor. I think that is a spoof site. I get hits from china all the time unless they're all gov. workers.
Despite your issues with the blog and Mr. Duncan, you at least have to applaud that his product is made in America, right? :)

David, I'm a firm supporter of tacky thongs being made in America.
Pole Goes Here.
Brilliant.

Another Stickhead who can't properly deliver a diss.
