For whatever reasons the builders of this humble dwelling apparently thought better of going through the troublesome process of removing the telegraph pole, instead opting to build around it…
Assuming it is indeed a real scene, then it seems all but certain to be China… You may recall similar scenes demonstrating the extreme quality of Chinese construction techniques.

Build in cable! You know how fast the interweb line will be now?!
telegraph pole? WTF decade are you living in?
Needs more of those 2000 year old wooden towers built without a single nail. Kthx.
seen them real in a musium, quite astonishing.
the whole peice of bridge was built with wood shaped like jigsaws, and not a single nail was used.
now that's news = =
ps: why not say that japan, korea, and other countries are stealing chinese cultures?
-writing
-gunpowder
-moon cake
-clock
these make better news, not some stupid building or nude car models.
THIS IS MADNESS!
THIS IS CHINA!!!
Where I live, I've seen something similar. Only it was just a balcony, not a whole house.
China is a country to be feared.
how does this topic even relate to Japan anyways.
getting tired of all these "Degrading China" topics.
notice how every topic posted about China is about something bad? why not post their recent space craft?
Cos its too big to fit :D
Nah, you gotta realize that this is a japanophile site, there biased anyway :) If you want awesome news about China, just turn on the economic news :D
Better time than never to sell my idea to Hasbro. It's called "Chinese Construction Company". It's Jenga©, Monopoly© and the Game of Life© put together with the true game of Humiliation© and Punishment©. The game is simple: build Chinese tower and whoever makes it collapse must pay of the Chinese government and grieving families. Be careful, if you run out of money, you might face humiliation and punishment that has a "DeaTh®" option.
Chinese Construction Company. FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!
Rated U for Unsafe.
Telegraph pole? Telegraph! Is Artefact a time traveler from the 19th Century or something?
Oh and Japan is any better, when I stayed at a Ryokan in Osaka, the Neighours house had a live pole in the middle of the backyard and kids were playing around it.
This is safe compared to that, at least you can tap into the grid for free. Or maybe the electrical company pays you have the pole there.
What's your beef with China?
He probably doesn't. Come on, it's funny, the site is full of China haters or people who just like funny things... So why not?
It looks like my country, south of mexico =P
actually this is just ordinary anywhere in the 3rd world countries, but your wording did made me laugh out, lol
I'm more interested in the fact that there seems to be a second story and yet no first story to the building. Or even any structural support for that matter. Who the hell thought that was a good idea?
This is (quite literally) terribly common in East Asia - especially China, which goes some way of explaining their figures of dead and injured during earthquakes and similar natural disasters. On the other hand, I guess the building's inhabitants won't have to worry about flooding overly much, as long as it's not caused by broken dams in the area.
It's called a cantilever.

Haha! China did it again!
开战啊! 日本仔
This brings new meaning to the term China quality.
this is hilarious XD
Nude Car Companions? Nope. Spicy Horo Doujin Ero-Anime? Nope. Range Murata cover for 10th Anniversary Ultra Jump? Nope and nope.
This? I can fap to this.
You westerners always think it's the government. If you've lived in China you'd realize the problem of corruption and greed extends to the people. Money is #1; there's no honor or morality, just cold hard cash. Snatch a random toddler off the street, sell it to some American family that's willing to pay thousands for an 'orphan.' The problem is much deeper and more ingrained than the Communist Party.
Anyways, I doubt the government had anything at all to do with this case.
Are you kidding? We westerners have the same "money is #1" type of policies. I think the difference lies in the fact that our politicians get voted in, and thus, can't be (complete) asshats as they need the people's votes.
Dunno about snatching , but I suspect they do -that- here as well >_>
How has that have nothing to do with the government. When you build a building it has to be to code or you don't build it at all, and if you fuck up you have to fix it. Its the government that enforces building codes.
I don't think you guys really have a feel for the amount of indifference that the Chinese have towards rules and regulations.
That just brings the Laziness into a whole new level (^_^)
The next thing we might see is a big log tree inside a factory building..
You all think THIS is bad??!!! Try going on failblog.org!!!! They make this look like a minor problem.
Jesus christ, don't you japanophiles realise that this site makes posts like this about China everyday?
I've been there and it's honestly not as bad as this site makes it out to be.
I can pull out as many America fail photos out of my ass.
It is realize not realise your spelling is the act of giving one a wage and not understanding as the correct term would be here.
Realize and Realise have the same meaning...dot
American/British spelling difference. If you're gonna be an English teacher on the nets, try not to fail so hard.
Dude American/British spelling please. Learn to not fail so hard if you're gonna be an English teacher on the nets.
Oh lawd. Some of you Amerifags have a lot to learn about courtesy.
Colonized 500 years and an independent country even less, I think it will be a LONG time before you can lay claim to having any actual rules, when it comes to language.
I'm not going to say American English is wrong, since it's a localised version, and has it's own quirks, as dialects do... but as long as you speak 'English' and not 'American,' you have no right to claim British spellings are wrong.
Wait just a min, I don't mean to be nosy or something but didn't Artefact said "it seems all but certain to be China" and the tags also have "China", and "make in Chine" written in it. Personal I think it's is in China, and Artefact just said it in a satirical tone. Beside I can hardly believe that he could do something stupid like posted a picture of some a random country and said something like "Ohhhhh, look at this mess, maybe it's in China!!!". It's just doesn't make any sense, doesn't it??? Or are you just used a satirical tone too??? Though it's doesn't seem too much like it for me.

Also... has nobody noticed that Artefact seems to have SUGGESTED that it's PROBABLY China.
All those morons going 'lol, only in China' may want to go and find out whether those numberplates are standard anywhere, before being set in your judgement.
I'm with Jesus Christ on this one.
grammar nazi.
Looks like a 3-phase high-voltage power line, and by the way it is sloping down, there probably is a power transformer behind the house.
Oh, there are lots of these kind of "interesting" buildings all around the world. Even here, in Europe.
Built in stripper pole? That's gotta add value?
It's a fat people's strip pole. Ugh *shivers*
It also doubles as a support beam.
supporting what? Tits?
Let's say the resident is an artist. He has painting he wants dried. So he lay it beside the pole!
I blame the corrupted official.
I can tell by the time China reaches it peak, a rebellion will happen and the corrupted official will send out the tanks again.
BWAAAAHAHAHAHahhahahaaaaaaaaaaaa *snort*
why is china full of so much fail? especially after the Olympics.
Because they are communist? And the Olympics were fail...they displaced thousands of farmers when they rerouted their irrigation water to Beijing.
The're only failing on this site .
China is filled with retards, I bet you are Chinese too.
Honestly, if you have nothing better to pick at than grammar, you sir, have no life. Then again, none of us here do so...where was I going with this again?
and i bet your a weebo
I would be rather willing to bet that you intended to say "you're," the conjunction that means "you are," and not "your" the word that implies possession of something.
Also: China fails. Much like you.
China has always been fail, even during the Olympic season.
because now that they have no one to show it to, they really let themselves go?
lol China
uh i dont think its legal... too suspicious
Oh my, isn't that quite lovely. You just couldn't find that kind of structure everywhere on this tiny planet, could you? But in most case, standing on the rooftop of there building would be inadvisable, unless you are very not pleased with your life that is.
Well....we have the same case of lamp pole going though a house here in Serbia XD.But it's not so extreme in our case.Our lamp pole is going through a terrace on 1st,2nd and 3rd floor.At least it's out doors
Serbian high five!
hell yeah
chinese nude loli WIN!
Serbia Sucks
anyways, i think this is just natural for them since they got little space with that billion of a population they got there.
give me something like the naked chinese loli with the overflowing garbage news
and wheres the original artefact? the artefact now is making a few grammatical errors. wtf artefact doesnt make errors, gtfo you leave replacement
high five!
I think it looks stylish from the inside
indeed free stripper pole for couples.
mayb they can use it like in the ghostbusters
or striptease pole...
excuseme.
first. sorry,about english is not good.
and.
your grandmother. did your can keep out talking chinese anymore in here?
sometime your say China is powerful.
sometime your say China is so much fail.
I don‘t know,your want do what?
I just know, someday we can get the freedom,just like your grand grand grand grandfather. yes, we can
and.
someday we can give your same Comments like this. yes, We Can
Ah hells he was dissing obamas
"just like your grand grand grand grandfather. yes, we can
and.
someday we can give your same Comments like this. yes, We Can"
Clever Chinese
who knew they could be so witty?
not me!
You dont undertand the point in Anonymous. Anonymous is a collectivity; not an entity. Its not Stan or Joe or Tim or any concrete person. Anonymous is the alluvial spirit made real in a second; then a whisper and finally old news and cancer. Anonymous is not an opinion; its an instant or a passing truth. Rather; Anonymous "is" not; "it" just happens.
fail in acting to have bad english
yes. donkeypunch for bad english fail
ROFL. It took me fifteen minutes to comprehend what you were talking about, chink. I'll have to clarify something.
>"sometime your say China is powerful."
I'd like to advise you to learn to understand sarcasm better. No matter what, China will ALWAYS be fail. You guys will ALWAYS be an uncouth and uncivillised people.
I'd thank God that my ancestors decided to leave their homeland, before it became the Pussies' Rotting China.
Alas, your bastard people just had to come in and pollute our beloved home and torment our people. You come in, take our jobs, break our families, degrade our society, and make my homeland look like crap!
YOU TRY JUSTIFYING YOUR PEOPLE'S ACTIONS NOW, CHINESE RAT! May God forsake your nation forever, and long live the Empire of Japan!
To Anon @ 1449, 9/11/2009
I'm surprised you can even understand what I'm talking about, you yellow rat. However, you apparently do not know what I meant by "learn to understand sarcasm better". Morever, please stop using your uncouth language here. It's really unsightly.
You say God offers no protection to rotten people? You're implying that I'm rotten? LMAO. Go look in the mirror, Chinese butthole. Your people slaughtered not only animals, but people too. Your people kill harmless and helpless creatures for personal gain. Your womenfolk track married men down and break their families.
Yet, here you are, trashing me as "rotten". Pot calling the kettle black indeed!
I'm really thankful that the Nanking Massacre occured. If it hadn't, more of your yellow-skinned, buck-toothed rats would be swarming my beloved homeland. May Japan be blessed for this commendable act. 大日本帝国万歳!!
I know right?
I was rather impressed by it too
why people like you, will say God?
in my country, God's can't be protection Rotten person.
i just Hope.
你能将上帝从你那恶毒的嘴唇中释放.
and.
sorry. It took me just fifteen seconds to comprehend what you were talking about. lol
+100 for having the balls to use bad english to 0wn.Respect.
may b... may b.
NEVER
FOBS NEED TO FUCK OFF. no offense. learn english first may b?

I feel sorry about That..
Ya, fuck that japanese guy, he's truly an idiot.
ye,ok,I made some typos.sue me.
wow...just,wow...racist Japanese and Indonese people going at each other's and China's throats much? First that Japanese Anon attacking the Chinese guy with the bad english,then the Indonesian guy attacking him,and then people bash the Indonesian guy.Seriously people,where's the love!?There's very clear and obvious,malicious racism in these attacks,which only leaves me asking myself,"what the hell dudes!?".Dissapointed in all of you.not cool.All of your country's have done bad misytakes in the past,and have all commited massive acts of rape and murder,so don't throw your self-justice crap on each other.It's unsightly,to say the least.Particularly,to the extreme japanese guy bashing the Chinese that happens to be poor at english,shame on you!you sound just like the new-nazis do when they talk about black people and jews! ;-/
U idiot, just goggle it how long Japs enslaved Indo..L2Read dickhead.
OMG,that japanese dog, it's very crazy
I'm tink,i start to know why Uncle sam will be give little boy to him.

Because them very very sick.
この日本のいぬ、はやけ死ね 。
>Trolling Chinese not fluent in the English language.
>Implying that China took our jobs rather than corporations outsourcing them to the lowest-paid wage slaves for profit.
You realize you're just starting up bad blood again right? That sort of thinking is how WWII started. =/ You have a little TOO much nationalistic pride.
And you're an absolute idiot. You have absolutely no grasp on history either. Japan isn't clean of any dirty past either. Japan has rape issues, prostitution issues, dolphin and whale killing...
You know, pretty much everything you said bad about China, Japan has them too. People slaughtering as well. WWII sound familiar? AND you raped your victims families during that too, then killed them. Honestly I don't see what you have to be so proud of. =/
OMFG! THANK YOU. some ppl are just a bit extreme its ppl like you that make our world a better place. PEACElOVELOLIBUTTSEX.
HAIL JAPAN!
Fuck Indonesia
08:42 10/11/2009
Indonesia fell after Singapore, which fell in 1942. How could the Japanese have been there for 50 years?? Forget it, you Indos don't have brains anyway...
By the way, I am NOT Japanese, for your information.
Aim properly before you throw your darts.
Japan enslaved Indonesia for 50 years?
12:00 09/11/2009
U Japs shit, did u forgot what u did to Indonesia??
U people enslave n rape our people for 50 years and until now there's still alot of pain u left, how can u say this crap to China?!?!?!
"Alas, your bastard people just had to come in and pollute our beloved home and torment our people. You come in, take our jobs, break our families, degrade our society, and make my homeland look like crap!"
U Japs should die in radioactive dust again just like when Hiroshima n Nagasaki got wiped out from our worldmap in 1945.
Oh save sum of d girls btw, they're good at bedscreaming.
Damn. I thought such blatant stupidity died out a few years ago. Apparently not.
