On the mainland:We’re releasing a video a day over the next 7 days - all done by Redscale Studios.
We’re not goingt o spam you for each one, if you give a fuck, just go to the user’s page on either Youtube or Youku, or check our Facebook (facebook.com/pairsaredograts).
We’re launching it tonight (October 19th) at 390 in Shanghai between 7pm and 9pm. Then it turns in to a gay bar. I’m going to stick around and see how I go. Once heard a guy give another guy a blowjob in the cubicle next to me and it sounded like a good time.
Cool, cool.
Shit’s happening.
For better or worse.
