Spoof publication The Onion has done a China edition and while it really doesn’t have much to do with the focus of this blog I thought I’d pass it along (hat tip to The Beijing Gourmand for the heads up). Some of the headlines:
- Potato-Faced Youngster Lauded For Memorizing Primitive 26-Character Alphabet
- Obama Axes Pentagon Plan To Build Billion Dollar Tank In Shape Of Dragon
- Table Tennis Star Wang Hao Out 4 Weeks With Sprained Knuckle
- Weakling President Asks Imaginary Man In Sky To Bless Nation
- American Children Like Me Are Lazy And Insolent And Must Try Harder
- Know Any Good State Secrets? (Op-ed)
They missed a couple of spoof stories, such as, “Citizens line up at subway stops,” “Taxi driver buys toothbrush,” “Beijing expects to record 366 blue-sky days in 2009,” and “Fuwa sex-tape scandal spreads to 2020 Expo mascot.” All in good fun, of course, all in good fun…
I am glued to my computer eagerly anticipating to see what happens when the fen qing get ahold of this. This is going to be even more hilarious than the issue itself.
