0V April Fool’s Day, many media play their readers. This year, April 1 to play the audience decided the eccentric billionaire – the owner of the networks of Virgin, Richard Branson. He stated that he owned the company Virgin Atlantic plans to soon start selling tickets for the aircraft with a glass bottom. At least one global news service reacted to the news seriously – Chinese state television CCTV.
0Telekompaniya CCTV reported “airplane with a glass bottom” April 2, the evening news program World Express and evidence led photos, originally posted in the blog of Richard Branson on the official website of Virgin.
0Krome addition, CCTV referred to the British newspaper Daily Mirror, perhaps ignoring the fact that the British newspaper in an article clearly “linked” to the news of the World Day of the fool. CCTV news service reported that the passengers of the aircraft, which will operate between London and Scotland, will be able to enjoy the stunning scenery without leaving their seats. Yet they do not have to worry about security, because the bottom of the aircraft will be made of excellent aircraft windows.
0Kitayskie bloggers quickly noticed mistake and not without pleasure, began to tell each other about it. Recording the program has been removed from the website of the company, and the producer has stopped responding to calls to cheer foreign journalists.
0SMI China is not the first time fall for humor. Last year, Chinese media widely disseminated by the material of the American satirical news agency The Onion, in which the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was named “the sexiest man in 2012.” Later the material was removed from the website. But many Chinese websites were literally repeated fragments of material agency The Onion, which described the “incredibly beautiful” round face, boyish charm, strong stocky figure “smoothie from Pyongyang,” embodying “living fairy dream of every woman”.
0Poskolku such “mistakes” are not unusual in Chinese media, the question of what they are called. In other words, whether the Chinese sense of humor, and has a sense of humor, the Chinese sense of humor from Westerners?
0Kazhdy who have been to China or read Chinese blogs, knows that the Chinese are willing to joke, understand jokes and laugh at them. When last year appeared in Tiananmen Square statue of Confucius, the sharp-tongued Chinese asked a question, does this mean that Confucius returned to replace Mao Zedong as the spiritual leader of the nation? And a few weeks later the statue again disappeared from the area, bloggers began to ask each other, does that mean that the revered sage, who was a native of Shandong Province, were sent back because he did not have Beijing residence
0Inogda say that the Chinese have a special sense of humor that is different from the European. The reason for this is usually the difficulty of translation. If Western jokes often rely on an unusual turn of events, many Chinese jokes are based on a similar sounding words. So, when it came to choosing an official name for the building of CCTV, was offered the option of a “window of knowledge.” Quite sublime and wise name. But, alas, the sound of it was too similar to the word “hemorrhoids”, sparking a fit of laughter from Chinese bloggers.
0Tak what’s the deal? Why news like “glass plane” and “sexual Kim Jong Ynu” appear in major Chinese media?
0Po apparently separate Chinese editors and journalists do not have enough experience in the field of international journalism, and, perhaps, and knowledge of English. This leads to the fact that it is difficult to “decipher” the satirical thrust of materials the Western media, despite the fact that the Chinese like to joke as much as other people.
0Esche problem is the uncritical attitude to information wont reprint top-down news and notes, without going into their essence. Although in this case the source of the West has become a sensation, which by default can not be trusted, the total non-critical approach, it seems, played a role.
