Yao Ming is literally twice as big as every other human.

Do you think Yao Ming is tired of people telling him he's tall?

It feels as like a dick move by whoever assigned seats.

You have a well-known celebrity who's famously tall, and you place him so 3 or 4 people straight behind will have an obstrcted view of the event.

I guess this is the "... But at what cost" we've been asking about.

Yup, yao ming is pretty tall and it really stands out when compared to older Chinese men.
(Chinese men tend to be an inch or two shorter than US average, and the older generations grew up with some degree of food scarcity and tend to be about six inches shorter. Yao ming is 7'6”, which is quite tall. )

The poor lads behind him.

Imagine being him, there. Must feel so awkward

When did China get Transformers?
