Crap on a stick! Yahoo/Pepsi have a new-ish video linkblogshowthing called The 9. (They link to 9[-ish] things every day. Clever name.)

And on Tuesday, 8/15, one of those things to which they linked, and about which the host spoke? The Aural Times!

I don’t understand that lack of a heads-up email when this sort of thing happens, though. What gives? Oh well, happy for the traffic, and for the surreality of seeing this blond woman make faces during a chorus of China Bans Foreign Animation From Prime Time TV.

Crazy crazy. Back when it launched, The 9 got a rather mixed reception in this Metafilter thread, which I definitely read at the time but to which I apparently had nothing to add.
