And after I wrote the above I found this; http://lingua.mtsu.edu/qing/signs/

I very much would like to see something similar with chinesepod -> Signs from real life with pronounciation!

One of the things I've been doing is to take all those  China pictures (both my own) and on e.g. flickr showing signs and written chinese from the streets/stores. Some people use this as "mocking material" and laughs about the chinglish. I've started to use it in a completely different way. I use it as a base for practical useful characters-to-know-material. Translating all pictures and using the pictures as flashcards. 

Could of course do this much better as you would be able to choose new and frequent material.

Please use the environment that you are in, but we're not in. (I'm in Sweden).

This holds for sounds as well, of course.

Speaking of dogs, I've read about the  狗屁 [gǒupì] to be equivalent of the english BS.

Is it used this way?

Thanks for another good lesson!

Minor correction: Vocabulary pinyin for  同一个世界 says tóng yī yi shìjiè, but it should be   tóng yī ge shìjiè.
