- It is hilarious that they mention YouTube stats. Last time I checked, YouTube was banned in China. They probably watched it on Youku.
- "Heeeyyy sexy lady" is not the only English phrase. "You know what I'm sayin'?" is said just before the last chorus.
- Much time was wasted dismissing and/or not dismissing the song and/or video. If boiling the yuppie-hipster-douchebag-trustfund baby demographic down to a horse-riding dance is nothing, then haters are just gonna have to hate.
- There was a head-scratcher about coffee and American companies invading. No, Starbucks is a status symbol (in Asia) and hipster-douchebags drink it in public to show off.
- If you really wanted to know why Gangnam Style took off, Google (which is banned in China except HK) and Wikipedia (also banned in China) aren't bad places to start. On a totally unrelated note, Blogger is banned in China.
- That female guest should totally be the host. She sounds like she spent a good chunk of time in America, which is what this segment seems to want to project.
On another totally unrelated note, I once heard a CRI news anchor pronounce Mary J. Blige's last name as "Bleej." Clearly it wasn't the British anchor on the Beijing Hour.
