A friend of mine, who didn't see any other part of the parade, was so impressed by the Chinese female militia, that he sent me the following clip along with the comment that he would rather enjoy being taken prisoner.


The problem, if it can be described as one, is this:

China has hired professional female models to march in a parade... There are lots of uniformed groups. Many have female components. The parade organizers particularly wanted to insure that the women in uniform looked good. Not just military good, but good. When they discovered that the female contingent from the People's Militia did not measure up, they proceeded to hire models, from as far away as Singapore, to pretty-up the women's contingent of the People's Militia.

Well, they still look good, and the fact that many of them actually aren't members of the militia might make the whole prisoner scenario all the more enjoyable. I'm just saying...
