SHEN YUN!

Why does it always seem to be coming to my city?

It’s everywhere.

It’s China before communism!

Because they know you're still hungry two hours after the last act.

At some point, the Shen Yun mailers will converge with the We're Calling To Ask You About Your Extended Warranty calls, and then we will truly be in the Singularity.

Isn't it some sort of religious cult?

For a week after I saw it, my pussy did NOT stink!

I had a Chinese guy at my job try to politely get me into Falun Gong, but I don't do religions or pseudo-religions. Plus, the Epoch Times connections are gross. I've heard the show is nice, though it gets preachy in parts. I don't care enough to see it.

I succumbed to promotional pressure, but left at intermission. Insufferable. It is 100 times worse than you can imagine.

It's a far right production by a group that started out innocuously enough. Stay far away-- Falun Gong is also very homophobic.

The description of Falun Gong sounds like someone's idea of Buddhism's Greatest Hits, with a pinch of Catholicism thrown in, and seasoned with the usual religious BS of "don't think for yourself and give us all your money!"

Falun Gong signs up to be in every parade in NYC They even march in the St. Patrick’s Day parade in stodgy old Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.

They usually stick them in the back.

The male dancers in Shen Yun look very athletic. Prob in great shape.

Falun Gong is some ultra-right-wing shit that is banned from China, so of course they're allowed to set up shop in America and peddle their garbage here.

Is it gorgeous and beautiful and spectacular like all the commercials say?

It seems like it's in San Diego every other month.

Free lifetime subscription to Epoch Times with every ticket!

I’m waiting for the movie version.

I've heard the show is quite boring as they put the more 'exciting' bits in the ads.

R20, I’m bored by the commercial!

Their advertising budget must be fucking huge because their annoying ads seem to run every ten minutes.

I've always wondered if the Epoch Times are agents provocateurs paid for by the Chinese government, designed to stir up shit in the US. All of the anti-Chinese stuff in it doesn't matter, the Chinese themselves can't see it, and it makes a perfect cover.

Gay travel blogger Ben Schlappig's take on Shen Yun

The ads make it look like a spectacle, but it’s a small cast in front of projected scenery.

If falun gong is really homophobic, then I no longer feel sorry for them getting used as organ "donors", they prefer FG prisoners for scheduled organ transplants, they harvest them for their organs, sold for a high price. FG practitioners are healthy and don't drink, don't smoke, and stay fit. They can proceed as usual.

All things Chinese should be avoided.

I liked them better in the 50s when they were called Madame Wang and the Wang Gang

Because your city is an insatiable bottom.

I’ve always suspected it was a cover for money laundering.

I see the commercials all the time. I was curious about the show when it was playing locally, but the cost of tickets was too high, and then I read more about it and realized it was religious propaganda.

R28, you need a mental health intervention.

Is it on the combo menu at Panda Express?

Put lipstick on a Schlappig, and…

R27 Well that is a spectacle.

The dancers twirl in front of a screen. It is ridiculous.

Take that shit to Branson.

[quote]Stay far away-- Falun Gong is also very homophobic.

I've noticed over the years that not many are aware of this, but in addition to being virulently anti-gay, they're also anti-abortion, anti-evolution, anti-atheism, and of course pro-Trump. Any homo who gives them money by attending one of these should be banned from cock for life.

R43 Given the number of abandoned properties, they could probably buy something and have a residency.
