...smaller network, however, may have found an answer. Young men, it turns out, want to see superheroes arguing cases in court. They want giant fighting robots. They want talking French fries. They want, that is, Cartoon Network's Adult Swim (Sunday to Thursday, 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. E.T.), a block of bizarre animated comedy and action shows that regularly draw more men under 35 than do David Letterman and Jay Leno--despite airing on a basic-cable channel best known for Powerpuff Girls...

Think Scorpion Bowl on steroids. “Minimum of 8 people required!” the menu warns. If you have a smaller group, try the “Swamp Water” ($16). Described...
...others have failed. American fast-food chains such as Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits and Dunkin' Donuts tried to establish China operations but were forced to retreat, in part because they didn't cater well enough to the palate of the Chinese consumer. By contrast, KFC has even outperformed fast-food giant McDonald's. KFC outlets outnumber Golden Arches by more than 3 to 2 in the mainland...
