First the Chinese got that great Coke commercial, and now Alice from Wonderland points us to this cool thingamajig at the digital entertainment show ChinaJoy. It's a World of Warcraft and Coke branded Whack-a-Mole machine, but, as Alice says, we can't really see what's being hit. Moles? Paladins? Is it the game the priest plays trying to heal five main tanks in a raid?

We're guessing it's nothing so complicated. Even though we can't quite read the Chinese text on top of the machine, it probably translates roughly as "When Server Goes Down, Hit It With a Mallet." So that's what they're doing with these rolling restarts!
