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.

The People's Bank of China has issued a new banknote with a denomination of 11 renminbi. The new note is designed to match the minimum fare on taxis in the city. Businessman Li Xiaoxia said he was delighted by the news. "At last I won't have to hunt around my wallet for that extra one kuai. This will really make my life easier."
Eight of the notes will make 88 kuai, a lucky number in Chinese culture, making the new bill ideal for paying the mai dan or as a gift.
The note will incorporate several innovative security features. On the reverse of the note Mao Zedong will be sitting in a holographic Dazhong taxi. Holding the note up to the light will cause a recorded sound to be played: "Wu qi, wu qi, wu qi qi qi! wo chi, wo chi, wo chi chi chi!"
