Producers in Taipei and Hong Kong have finally found a way to bring people the news stories they want. Namely, tales of horrific local violence. Everyday, the Apple Daily tabloids release digital cartoons depicting yesterday’s gruesome crimes, capturing every sordid detail. Recently, the murder of a police officer was animated in vivd detail, capturing the perp’s haircut, clothes, even the exact length of the blade used in the slaying. And just to be sure public bloodlust is satiated, the dying cop is shown with spurts of crimson spraying from his gaping neck. Awesome, right? Some of the animations can be found here. If you read Chinese, you’ll have no problem navigating to the desired videos. For the rest of you, keep clicking through until you see one with, what appear to be, video game scenes half way through.

    Biff: If you see a guy in a denim vest, movie or animation, you can pretty much bet he's going to be a bad guy. It's a rule.

    tallywacker: can't they stick with the anime? i want to see them done with flashes of light and people jumping off buildings. sex it up some. most crimes are fairly boring.

    TowJam: I don't think I trust that site. Any video player that I have to click play several times to get different things to happen scares me. I probably have Chinese spyware all up in my shit now.

    MasonAndersonsweet: I'll bet the station buys a car for the local new producer who brings this to North America.
