Fleshbot enjoys Chinese state-owned media

Fleshbot is the porn-watching blog of the New York based Gawker Media mini-empire, one of the most succesful blog media companies, run out of New York by former Financial Times journalist Nick Denton.

So, who does Fleshbot turn to when they need porn links?

One of the world’s leading sources of communist soft porn of course: The China Daily.

When they needed a nude photo spread of Italian volleyball player Francesca Piccinini, they lifted it from the China Daily’s website. The China Daily images seem to have been copied from another website, originally scanned directly from the pages of Men’s Health magazine.

The China Daily galery of Piccinini pics is here, Fleshbot’s post about it is here.

Here are some more interesting galleries on the China Daily’s website: 1, 2, 3.

– Thanks to Steven Schwankert for the state-owned media consultancy. Grateful readers can thank him by learning how to scuba dive in Beijing.
