Read at the link where the phrase came from. It's become so popular that, according to this article, "people registered push-up domain names, created push-up ringtones and even began reposting bizarre photoshopped images of a a famous TV host doing naked push-ups at famous Chinese landmarks as a way of fuelling the push-up craze and maintaining the rage."
The article goes on... what a fascinating story.

Jeez, petarro. You are a sad little man. Sorry your evidently severe case of homophobia is blocking your judgment. This isn't about how China smells (which really depends on where you've been).
"At ten minutes past midnight, while still on the bridge, he [one of the guys accused of killing her and telling the cops that she jumped off a bridge] started doing push-ups and as he was doing the third one he heard the girl cry: "I leave", followed by a splash.
"Doing push-ups" became a way for people to vent their anger over the incident and express their disgust at attempts to censor reports and stifle discussion about it on the internet."
It doesn't matter that there's no one around because these were posted on the net.
Did you even read the article?

Posted where? How do you know they won't be "censored" after being Uploaded? DIDN'T -YOU- READ THE STORY?
I will explain it for your tinny brain.
1. You Criticize the Government, you upload your "great" Protest.
2. The Government Censors the Site, bring the shitty pictures down.
3. Effort = Useless.It looks like the Protest methods like using the Internet will not work, can you actually see the Article is about this? Please think before posting.

Odd person? Breath once. Then look at the Picture above. Some naked guys doing push ups!? Who do you think it's odd, a stupid guy doing push ups, when THERE IS NOBODY around!? Or someone that actually thinks that the 1/5 of the 1,321,851,888 persons could actually rally against a primitive communistic Government that has no brain, no control for minor age workers, respect and privacy while their government leaders choke on their fancy fisting and actually get "resented" because people would turn them down of their poooor "Olympics".
wow, some people need to grow the fuck up. And these "naked" people have never got anything from anyone.
Eventually, the Chinese Government will want to screw everyones wife before they are allowed to get Married. Eventually because there are so many people, they will hire "fuckers" to fuck the "Wife's to be" because there are too damm many and they will do this just to Fuck You Up!
China is over controlled and and can no longer do anything for their own. Is just a bit worse than the US.

Vierotchka. Not myself. Every family member that has been there said it smells like crap.
Why so insulting? Why do you care? Are you part of the Chinese Government now? Do you also want to Restrict me?

Why be so insulting, petarro? Have you ever been to China? If so, did you find all of the men and boys plus most of the women to be "faggots"? Seesh!

I know there that is some Billion of Faggots that can't even put their Government to obey what they say, not the Government to make their population obey!

Very interesting article. God only knows what is really going on that never gets reported. At some point the protesters will have to blur the line by going one step further and using "official" sounding terms to identify with and protest.
Like using the word communist with a lower-case c. It speaks volumes and completely blurs the line. Are they going to arrest you for failing to capitalize correctly?
Then again...I presume that analogy only works if you speak English.

So what's the criteria for a single, complete push up. Is it when the chin touches the ground, or...

the chinese government covering up the rape and murder of a 15 year old girl is disgusting and they are right to protest. hopefully it brings more things like this to the world's attention. but surely once the chinese government finds out what is happening they will only crack down on these protesters.
chinese government = bad. It's people do not. Sometimes we need reminding that too. - 3 years ago

That's such an amazing method of protest. Headline-grabbing, light-hearted, easy to conceal as something perfecly innocuous, photo opp-friendly and featuring a plethora of nice-to-look-at bums. Does an anti-censorship campaign need anything else?

It's gonna be a long battle for any kind of freedom of speech here - especially the kind of free speech that exists on the internet.

I am impressed by how many Chinese speak English so well. I am sure that the percentage of the Chinese population that speak and write English fluently is higher than the percentage of the American population that speak and write Mandarin fluently - bar the Chinese immigrants, of course.
