A lot of interesting Chinese “internet” things in happen on the BBS forums but a lot are also spread between Chinese people through email every day. Here are some funny jiong pictures that a friend emailed me. Many of these images are old but you can still see many netizens using these images on BBS.

I saw this one recently on the Mop topic about a FZL girl cutting herself. (#89 reply)

Wang Wang or “Won Won” is a famous brand of snack food.
Most Jiong Advertising:
“If the cockroach does not die, I will die.”
This is a strong promise or guarantee that the pesticide will be effective.
Most Jiong Sofa:
Top window: “Support Olympics.”

If you do not understand the last picture, this is probably a university dorm and the students are using Chinese BBS humor. On Chinese BBS, the person who starts a post-topic is called the 楼主 (lou2 zhu3) “building owner”. Each reply below the “lou zhu” is a 楼 (lou2) “floor”.
Sometimes, people will try to be the first reply to a new topic and say 沙发 (sha1 fa1) “sofa” because it is like he or she is sleeping on the sofa of the building owner. This is similar to people saying “first” (first reply) on English BBS or blog comments.
People on lower “floors” will often reply or refer to a “floor” or the “floors” above them. 支持 (zhi1 chi2) “support” and 顶 (ding3) “top, bump, up” are also common terms used on China BBS.
