Don't be too CNN!

Of course, it sounds better in the original Chinese:

1. Don’t be too CNN | zuò rén bùnéng tài CNN | 做人不能太CNN

Meaning: A synonym for a malicious frame up and blurring of the line between right and wrong.
Background: During the smashing, looting, and arson this March in Lhasa (known now as ‘3-14’ after the date), a news report by CNN used a photo cropped so it appeared Chinese military officers in a truck were attacking protestors. The undoctored picture, in fact, shows a group of protestors lobbing rocks at said vehicle.

There's more, much more at The Dark Visitor, your one-stop shop for hip Chinese Internet slang. Me? I just buy soy sauce*.

* If you hadn't guessed, this is Chinese Internet slang.
