Q: What do they show on TVs on public transport your city?
I've seen 3 basic themes:
(1) Foreign blooper TV shows with Chinese dubbing and sound effects; ie: foreign-kingdom-people making fools of themselves.
(2) Glorious PLA troops preparing to defend the motherland.
(3) Bad news in other countries, usually involving chemical weaponry.
I also saw a cool set of videos of wingsuit jumpers flying through canyons, filmed using a small helmet camera. Have you seen any other types of such videos?
I regularly see:
1) singing "X factor" shows usually depicting the cheesiest singers
2) "how to change your waste crap into other crap"
3) travel shows - usually showing a European city - which i enjoy
4) an idiots guide to using the subway including people getting caught in the doors
and i remember in Beijing:
'the adventures of Leon and Leona'
In order of frequency
1) Advertisement for online shopping. That lady riding a CGI-made donkey...
2) Local government explaining civil behaviour. Like not spitting/peeing/pooping in the subway, not rushing inside the subway before passengers went out, not behaving like a herd of wild boars when travelling abroad, etc, etc.
3) Extracts of "Just For Laughs". I don't know if it makes me smile or grin. Maybe they can show Blackadder for a change ?
4) Various news extract. Maybe one-third of it is "OMFG Japan/US Navy & islands" since 3 years.
5) Travel shows, where you see mostly shots of a resort and a few really, really happy locals.
Never saw the military related videos.
Usually show the places within the city for shopping and tourism.
Bloopers.
Cooking recipes.
