Google have released their year-end Zeitgeist showing what the world has been searching for. Shangzilla casts his eye over what Chinese netizens have been looking for - that is when they weren't hunting down wrongdoers.
1. 陈冠希 (Chén Guànxī, Edison Chen)
The contents of Edison Chen's hard-drive were the most popular search term. Shangzilla editor Dan Wasburnt refused to cash in on Edison-mania.
2. 奥运会开幕式 (Àoyùnhuì kāimùshì, Olympic opening ceremony)
Shangzilla thought that nothing of importance happened today, but we guess people were looking for this.
3. 四川地震 (Sìchuān dìzhèn, Sichuan earthquake)
A tragic day for the country. After several weeks of bad news, Shangzilla was hoping something funny would happen.
4. 不合格奶粉名单 (bù hégé nǎifěn míngdān, powdered milk scandal)
Now here was something genuinely to get upset about (unlike Edison Chen, where we just pretended to be outraged and forwarded each other sex pictures). Shangzilla concluded that breast was best
5. 艳照门 (yànzhàomén, "Sexy Photo-Gate")
Yes, its that enormous tool again. Shangzilla likes the Watergate-esque use of "门". At heart, he's a very cultured monster.
6. 画皮 (huàpí, Painted Skin)
The film didn't contain as much skin as promised, much to the disappointment of Dan Wasburnt.
7. 赤裸特工f.b.i (chìluǒ tègōng FBI, Naked Weapon FBI)
This female MySpace.cn blogger combined computer games and sex appeal to wow fans - but we think she's not as cute as JingJing carrying a gun.
8. 国足欢迎你 (guózú huānyíng nǐ, China football welcomes you)
This song and video spoofed the Olympic Song "Beijing Welcomes You" while making fun of the perennially useless Chinese football team. Chinese lyrics are here, sample "场上梦游是惯例, 场下才牛B" "on the field we are sleepwalking, off the field we are (unpleasant individuals)"
9. 刘翔退赛 (Liú Xiáng tuì sài, Liu Xiang withraws from competition)
Despite many shouts of JIAYOU!, local golden boy Liu Xiang dropped out of the Olympics.
10. 神七 (shénqī, Shenzhou 7)
One small step for China, one giant leap for mankind.
We hope you've enjoyed reading Shangzilla this year. We'll be back!

Following on from the People's Bank of China's decision to deposit 50 billion yuan (US$7.3 billion) of government funds in commercial banks, 300m tall monster Shangzilla also made a large deposit in Shanghai banks on Monday morning.
A teller at the Huaihai Road branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) described discovering an enormous deposit in the lobby of the bank. "It was brown, about five meters high and smelled faintly of xiaolongbao. I knew Shangzilla was behind it."
After a heavy night on Tongren Lu, Shangzilla had to relieve himself at several financial institutions, including the HSBC in Pudong. Mr Zhang, the branch manager said his staff members reported discovering a big turd in the VIP Banking area. "I was going to ask Edison Chen to leave, but then I realised what they meant".
The effects on the market are as yet unknown, however the lonely Shangzilla is hoping to receive a stimulus package on Tongren Lu.

Construction of the world's largest bottle opener was completed in Shanghai's Pudong district last month, but so far it has found little use. The device rises 492 metres above the Huangpu River, and was described by Shanghai Mayor Chen Liaoyun as "the biggest tool in Shanghai since Edison Chen came to visit".
City officials are yet to find a bottle large enough to use with the opener, although there are hopes Budweiser will sponsor a giant bottle. "After all, our beer is cheap piss so it wouldn't be too expensive to make", a (now ex-)spokesman for Anheuser Busch commented.
Monstrous Shangzilla thanked the city for their consideration in building a large enough bottle opener for him to use, but admitted that it was hard to operate with his claws. "If I need a bottle opened, I ask my ayi" he said, waving his tail and accidentally demolishing Pudong Airport's new Terminal 2.
The city plans to incorporate the bottle opener into the world's largest Swiss Army knife, set to open for the World Expo in 2010.
