You've got to be joking
Is it just me, or are news articles starting to sound more and more like editorials for the Onion? "Swine Flu Zombies Get Own Graduation Right in Pennsylvania" "Enraged Cow Injures Farmer With Ax" and then, of course, there's China.
First it was the fact that they quarantined 70 Mexicans in Beijing for no other reason than that they were Mexican (and this is not a good time to be Mexican, it seems). Now, it's this.
A juicy nugget from the article:
"Gong'an county told civil servants and teachers to smoke 230,000 packs of the locally-made Hubei brand each year.
Those who do not smoke enough, or are caught puffing on brands from other provinces, or overseas, face being fined or even fired."
Seriously?
