| Street Food - Beijing - 14 July 08 - Part 1 |
 |
China's economy is expanding at an astounding
rate - but its waistlines are too.
The food of the streets tells the story of a
culture torn between tradition and modernity,
the customs of an ancient past competing with
the convenience age of the new. What will
survive and what will be lost? In a China
which has gone within two generations from
mass starvation to mass obesity, what does
the future hold?

 |
Today on This Week in YouTube, Lon Harris and
Leah D'Emilio present the show that doesn't
wear black masks, even though it's shot in
Beijing. First up is a clip revealing a
dreadful conspiracy spreading rainbows across
the nation, an unreleased project by Joss
Whedon, and an attack ad by John McCain.
Paris Hilton fires back immediately, and as a
result, McCain's head explodes. Wrapping up
this week in YouTube is a clip from 1920s
Dark Knight, a Heavy Metal Monk, and The
Pharcyde's first video since they reunited.
That's This Week in YouTube, which we watch
so you don't have to.
