Lee Lin Chin is an Australian television presenter best known for anchoring SBS World News for over a decade. She is also utterly hilarious, most recently attracting attention for her own take on a 'mean tweets' video.

She is The Chin. She is legend. Marvel at her immense legacy.

But I thought Mefi's Own Stan was The Chin... (and I was so happy when he took that title away from that character in Fairly OddParents)

Anjali Rao almost had me for a while with her scarily precise diction, but Lee Lin Chin will forever be the one true news anchor. National treasure indeed.

I have never heard of her so thank you for bringing her into my life! Her Twitter feed is genius.

Oh my... if I weren't already happily married, I'd be on a plane to Australia right now.

I don't think her outfits are particularly asymmetrical, but many of them are clearly straight out of The Fifth Element.

And before there was The Chin there was Basia. Basia!
