There’s a lot of talk about China these days. After the lead scare, we are now scared that as economic growth starts to slow down, they will be having massive protests. Even Guns N Roses are picking on their government. What we like most here at OIH is the new and improved Andy Rooney – now in Chinese!

For many-many years, investigative TV reporting was a synonym of CBS 60 Minutes. And every single one of them had a common fixture meant to make you laugh and think at the same time: Andy Rooney. Unfortunately, he is largely unknown to the new Internet generation.

So we made a YouTube compilation of his best, including parodies and an interview with Ali G which you can navigate by pressing the left or right arrows:
