the promo says: "...takes you to the most mysterious place on earth"

i literally LOLed when i heard it.

it amazes me that everytime a friend comes from america to visit me here their family members are really worried they will be kidnapped/die from eating something weird/get brainwashed into a commie. i really wanna give americans more credit but it's even harder when stuff like this is allowed onto TV.

also, "surviving" in china, if you aren't asian looking is really easy... unless you are a tard

P.S. i'm half white

umm, an advertising promotion on CBS has nothing to do with the entire american population (which for the most part are certainly ignorant, ldo)

HYPER BALL IN NETWORK PROMO!!!

Shocking.

I'm pretty sure the guys that can't get jobs writing porn dialog end up writing network promos. Those things are the worst.

This is exactly what the commies want you to think. Also, David Caruso will kick your ass if you kill someone in Miami.

Those are both real words that I saw in real life.

In that context.

I'm a clown offline as well!

I really wish that you weren't a fat ugly piece of crap, but we all know that's not happening any time soon.

Any stupidity that Americans display is quite tame compared to the actions of the Chi-Coms. There is a reason why people try to break the law to live in the USA and none try to live in China.....

Great username totally wasted on a worthless POS troll. Kinda' sad, really.

Hopefully when you're banned someone more worthy will pick up the handle.

i know, it's amazing the kind of garbage the government allows on tv and internet.

also, i dont think the promo is indicating that China is the most mysterious location on earth but rather the specific location where they are filming "in the shadow of a sacred mountain" is the mysterious spot. and as dids said, it's hyperbole. dont take it literally and we'll all be ok.

Hyperbole ftw?

It's not like CBS is going to say, "From a place that's as common and plain as Auntie Em's pantry."
