A few weeks back I heard a knock on the door of my little home office, which is on the second floor. I opened the door and two little kids burst in wanting to play. This is one of them slung over my shoulder last Sunday. Now that the sun is out we have been hosting BBQs and inviting the loads of college kids that my brother and other roommate Jason teach. The highlight, for sure, has been the water balloons. I've also been working on my badminton game.

Wouldn't think the kid in green had just accidentally killed someone racing his car, eh? He seems way too relaxed. Then again, he's from a rich Hangzhou family, so he probably expects to get off easy. That's how the Chinese internet community interpreted this photo. Within hours, all of the kid's personal information was put online. His name, ID card #, address, school, cell phone #, etc., all probably pulled from social networking sites. It's an interesting shaming tactic that's becoming very popular in China. Check out this article for more info.
