While watching from Morning Musume (h/t Japundit), Asiapundit despaired for the sanity of the mighty archipelago, and then further despaired that China’s broadcasters have not yet thought up something as creative as strapping raw meat to the heads of young women and having them face a carnivorous lizard.:

Via the Committee to Bloggers, Spirit of America is now vetting its anonymous blogging guides and is welcoming public comment. Also needed are Chinese and other translators.:

Spirit of America’s Anonymous Blogging Campaign has opened up their five anonymous blogging guides to public comment. If you are a blogger in one of the following areas, a specialist in the countries involved, or just a clear-thinking blogger, the ABC asks that you take a look and leave a comment if there is something you believe needs to be changed, added, subtracted or expanded upon.

The drafts are in English. The ABC has secured translation help for the Arabic document; the Malaysian and Zimbabwean will remain in English. They are still seeking Chinese and Persian translators.

Here are the guides:

China (with possible application for Chinese-speaking bloggers in countries such as Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia)

Iran

Saudi Arabia (with possible application for bloggers in Bahrain, Egypt, Tunisia and elsewhere in the Arabic-speaking world)

Malaysia (with possible application for bloggers in Singapore and Indonesia)

Zimbabwe (with possible application for English-speaking bloggers elsewhere in Africa)
