Seeking Asian Female - SXSW 2012 Accepted Film by sxsw
Documentary by Debbie Lum.
An article in the The Wall Street Journal gives you a better sense of what the film is about. It’s not just about the Asian fetish some dudes have. Although they insist it’s a “preference”, not a fetish. I accept that, as long as we agree that those dudes have a “preference” for Asian females the way this dude has a “preference” for Big Macs.

The two things I took away from this are:
(1) The economics of getting things made in China make sense if you’re a big company because of the cheaper prices that come with high volume and the purchasing power you can exert when it comes to quality control.
(2) For smaller companies though, things like longer lead times and less available credit (because you need to order more inventory to make manufacturing overseas worthwhile) may end up costing more overall - not just in terms of dollars, but also in terms your ability to innovate and respond quickly to the market.

Life imitates store shelves as artfully attired Chinese artist Liu Bolin blends into a display of soft drinks at his Beijing studio August 10. Assistants later painted him to complete the illusion.Entitled “Plasticizer,” the piece is intended to express Bolin’s speechlessness at the discovery of plasticizer contamination in food products, according to the Associated Press. Plasticizers are additives normally used to make plastic and other nonfood products more pliable.
