Actually, it is also on the ENGLISH version of wikipedia:

The Bus Uncle (Chinese: 巴士阿叔) is a video clip viewed and debated by many in Hong Kong beginning in early May 2006. In the Cantonese video clip, a middle-aged man, Roger Chan Yuet Tung (Chinese: 陳乙東), commonly referred to as Bus Uncle, Uncle Bus, Grumpy Man or Bus Judge (Chinese: 巴士判官) scolds a younger passenger, Elvis Ho Yui Hei (Chinese: 何銳熙), for nearly seven minutes during a bus ride in Hong Kong. The episode was recorded by another passenger, Jon Fong Wing Hang (Chinese: 方穎恆), on a cell phone and uploaded to YouTube, a popular free website hosting video clips. The title Bus Uncle was coined by some internet forum-goers in reference to the man doing the scolding.

Soon after premiering on YouTube, the video clip turned into an Internet meme, and numerous parodies followed. The original video clip enjoyed over 2 million views and 5 million hitpoints on YouTube, becoming the site's most popular video on 28 May 2006. Its copious use of profanity and rhetorical outbursts has also gained attention from the mainstream and international media.

Your site beats wikipedia, be proud: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...98%BF%E5%8F%94

Man, we beat a site we can't get to on a search engine we can't use. Go us!

[rose~]

lol, Roddy...

You're not going believe this but Google went off again shortly after I posted!

Alright, you probably do believe it...

I should have touched wood. Next time I will be sure to touch wood after being smug about how modern Shanghai is with all the different rules etc...

With our international summit coming up, anything could happen. They already are shutting down all workplaces and a major highway, so what would shutting down a few more sites be in comparison?!

Where is the original post where you can download Bus Uncle? I didn't find it.

A TV ad modelled on the video clip ->

[selfconstruct]

I hear that he has been offered a managerial position at 扒王之王 in Mong Kok. Not sure which branch though.

[tsuialex]

It's a branch in Kowloon and he is paid HK$9000 a month.

[selfconstruct]

Yes, Mong Kok is in Kowloon. After being attacked by four men in the said restaurant, I don't think he is working there anymore.

[skylee]

No he is not. but not because he was attacked. He resigned as his boss' wife committed suicide because of the pressure having him in the restaurant -> 扒王妻死諫　阿叔無得撈

「扒王之王」老闆李德麟，受到妻女壓力要炒阿叔魷魚，李力保阿叔兩天，李妻林珍奇堅持「阿叔」的言行影響公司形象，為逼丈夫解僱「阿叔」，昨晨在半山寓所仰藥，且反鎖睡房內，需勞動消防員破門將她制服送院。而陳乙東獲悉老闆娘企圖自殺後，已主動提出辭職，並得到李德麟接受。

I think you meant to say she tried to commit suicide,she's still alive. I think that woman might have some type of mental problem to try to commit suicide just because her husband won't fire the guy.

Yes you are right. I was working on my tax returns when I wrote that so I was not really paying enough attention.

[selfconstruct]

What a strange saga this has become. I might start yelling at people in the hope of becoming famous. I think I'll start with the nail clippers and nose pickers on the MTR.
