A Hong Kong DJ and his producers publically apologized to outraged legislators and citizens after posting a poll on the radio show’s website asking people to vote for which female celebrity they would most like to rape. Crazy feminists.
This comes as China works hard to clean up it’s image in preparation for the 2008 Olympics, arresting jay-walkers and fining people who cut in line. A smoking ban is in the works, and since the Chinese are apparently exceedingly fond of hawking loogies — in the street, on hotel carpet, wherever — volunteers have hit the city sidewalks with free “spitting bags.” After eradicating these terrible offenses, I assume China will get around to focusing on minor etiquette violations like genocide, state-sanctioned torture and human trafficking.

And don’t forget the terrific deals to be found at Target and other enlightened importers of Chinese goods, on the strings of “fairy lights” strung by political prisoners who are highly motivated to “get the job done” by the promise of a bowl of rice at the end of 21 hour days. Standing in front of tanks in Tiananman Square didn’t turn out to be as “regime changing” as protesters might have hoped…but certainly seems to have provided Western countries with some cheap Christmas decor. And nice tennies all year ’round!
Who said Capitalism and Totalitarianism couldn’t co-exist?!

They can put out all the fines they want, it’s not going to change their filthy commie societal habits anytime soon
