German art student posing as one of China's terracotta warriors
A German art student posing as one of China's terracotta warriors at the heritage site in Xi'an，2006.
Police took 2 minutes to find the "living" one, as he did not harm the relics, he was not arrested or charged but only given a criticism, and outfit was confiscated.
Dudes rock moment?
Kind of amazed china has apparently adopted a long standing legislative proposal of mine, the dudes rock clause where if you pull it off without breaking anything or harming anyone it's legal, albeit the cops are allowed to peacefully stop you from doing it
Wondering how the mandarin dungeon masters guide translates "rule of cool"
Wasn't arrested or anything? In the US the cops would have tackled him and broken a few of the warriors in the process and charged him with reckless endangerment or something ridiculous
You just don't appreciate the 8 dimensional chess the Chinese authoritarians are playing right now. This poor bastard ended up back in Germany.
They would have charged him for the damage they caused after unnecessarily opening fire and damaging shit.
They'd charge him with assault after he aggressively used his forearm in a defensive move to try to deflect their batons from smashing his face.
It's always good to have a Wikipedia link to share with skeptical libs.
“Which one is the real student?! Which one do I shoot!”
he was not arrested or charged but only given a criticism
This is probably something like a caution but I'd like to imagine the cops were there going "your outfit's shit, wrong colour, face makeup sucks, 2/10"
Your hair? Wack! Your gear? Wack! Your jewelry? Wack! Your footstance? Wack! The way that you talk? Wack! The way you don't even like to smile? Wack! Us? We're tight as fuck!
And you definitely can't stand properly!
akshually they threatened him and his family this just prooves how ebil china are, tanky
Fashion police are still bastards
Dudes rock
rock
Terra cotta
Rock Dudes
Igneous Males would be a good name for a band
Rock dudes rock
took 2 minutes
yeah his color was pretty off, needed to be chalkier, do better next time lib.
it would be funny if someone else had tried more successfully and we dont know because they didn't get caught
He's still there to this day
Xi Jinping doesn’t want you to know that the “ancient” Terracotta Warriors are actually the encased corpses of executed foreign tourists
a ton of people tried this and they're still there to this day. that's the so-called terra cotta army. it's just some dudes dedicated to the bit.
Finally a German that's doing something vaguely normal
Maybe the Qin atrocities activated the German genocide gene and made them feel warm and fuzzy inside
I don't want to encourage this behavior, because some doofus will break something in the future, but this is pretty funny.
2 minutes is a crack response if you ask me, that's quick
Terra cotta nick mullen
i was prepared for yellow-face so at least there wasnt that
