  1. First it was deer, then cyclists, and now we have to watch out for babies on the road. Irresponsible parenting is what I call it.

  2. And that baby is drinking, too.

  3. The Bluebird Sylphy comes standard with the Nissan HR15DE 1.5 L engine. This is more than enough power to adroitly zip around a pesky "(drinking) baby on road".

  4. Maybe it’s a bomber kill mark, like in Death Race 2000…

    Possible clue – the sticker applique on the paint, with its sense of permanence…

    P.S. Court was also befuddled by this billboard…..

    Chinese Postcard

    replete with eyepatch and Mac bomb in the corner…

  5. I think it’s a compound translation error. It should have said, "Baby on broad."

  6. Dear. I care you.
    Dear. you will be hot!

    All your curious billboards are belong to us.

  7. عکس حس عجیبی داره…شادی و خوشحالی یک کودک از اینکه دیده شده…
    منتظر ادامه این داستان تلخ و شیرین می مونم

  8. "Sylphy" sounds like a nickname for someone with syphilis. I’ve noticed that Hong Kong has some of the cutest cars in the world.

    It’s kind of ironic to see a baby-on-board style sticker in China considering the purpose of the sticker is to get a bit of mercy from other drivers. Anyone who’s been to China realizes the drivers there are insane. Take the average driver and drop them in LA, they’d be shot dead within hours.

  9. Heh… Court just sent an image (while driving) to illustrate what you mean….

    Chinese Traffic

  10. You guys haven’t seen insane drivers until you’ve driven in India!

    And then’s there’s this fellow:

  11. Oh, that video is a riot…. worth watching to the end…

  12. I thought Cairo and Rome had the most insane traffic (followed by Seoul)… Reshma just proved me wrong…. which of course is my normal state….Thanks for those lnks!-)

  13. Lots of rich people in China now. Have you met the Charcoal Seller?
    His baby does not drink Sanlu milk because he knows how to milk the Grass Mud Horse and now sells fine coal markers to draw on the GFW.
