Madonna, Rosie O’Donnell, Richard Gere, Chris Evans, and Anne Hathaway all have one thing in common: gay brothers! This JapaneseChinese-language round up of celebrities and their homo siblings won’t break news, but we’re big fans of wrapping big ideas in tight little packages.
@Cassy:
Yes, you’re correct. This is Standard Chinese (Mandarin), not Japanese.

I showed this to a native mandarin speaker, his comment was:” What a vapid story, the queeny news reader learned from Berlitz or Rosetta Stone DIY”.

Wow, it’s like 10-15% of all celebrity siblings are gay!

Agreed. It’s not only specific to Chinese, however. I think it’s absolutely unthinking when someone faults a non-native speaker for mangling words/grammar or having an accent. I’m sure the native Mandarin speaker has an accent in any other second, third, fourth language too.

This is not Japanese. I think it’s Chinese Mandarin, but I could be wrong.
