A representative of China E-TV (the TV production company behind the smashing success of the Super Girl singing contest broadcast on Hunan TV) announced yesterday that on April 30, the ‘Super Girl Card’ will be test-launched in Shanghai. As the result of a joint initiative between Bank of China and China Unicom, the ‘Super Girl Card’ will feature many functions: credit card, debit card, and IP card. Additionally, the card can also be used to cast votes for the Super Girl 2006 competition (currently ongoing). For the joy of millions of Super Girl 粉丝 (fans), the front of the cards will feature pictures of their beloved pop idols.
It seems that the Super Girl wars have begun: refer to Danwei’s last previous story: CPPCC: Exterminate the Super Girls which recounts a government official’s stern opposition to the show.
