FAK China

When someone really faked off my dad, his most common and fiercest reply was "Why don't you go fak yourself and see how that works out for you?" In the spirit of that feeling, I take the liberty of tweaking it a bit to apply to the latest row between Google and my favorite place on earth: China. You know, China,where the internet is free, and the rest of us are being unreasonable imperialist faks.

China’s latest repressive stunt: blocking YouTube ‘coincidentally’ after a video was posted of the Chinese security force beating the fak out of some Tibetan protesters during last year’s clashes prior to the start of the Olympics. For some reason, I’m still not over the fact China was allowed to host the Olympics but we all know why China was allowed to host the Olympics. What a show indeed especially when it came to China’s sorry-ass attempt to show the world how host-worthy (ie civilized and democratic) it’d become overnight even though it still wanted to block the world press from unrestrictive internet access. Ah, China, you big control freak!

Isn’t this lovely? According to a University of Washingtonreport, every year more and more bloggers are being arrested and prosecuted for committing the felonious ‘crime’ of freedom of speech. More than half the arrests since 2003 occurred in some of our favorite countries like China, Iran, and Egypt where you could be sentenced to jail time for daring to say: WHAT THE FAK especially regarding the naughty topics like human rights abuses and government corruption. Gee, if these governments aren’t guilty of such things, then why are they punishing those who expose them? I think we’re seeing a great exhibit of the old saying: The more they deny it, the more you know it to be true. Just think Bush administration folks. Every time W or his boys assure us something is more definitely not true, what do we find to be absolutely wholeheartedly true? That which he denied the most vehemently of course!

So unless you live in isolation or just returned from an expedition to the Amazon, you must know what is currently going on in Tibet. To put in mildly, Tibetans had enough of their Chinese oppressors and demand independence. Apparently, China invaded Tibet 50 years ago and claimed it as part of China. It seems that Chinese always thought that Tibet is part of their country. However, Tibetans for some bizarre and unexplained reason never quite agreed with that claim. They must be bonkers. I mean why wouldn't somebody want to be part of the great People's Republic of China? After all, China is such a democratic place where human rights take uppermost priority, NOT.

Irony is often cruel especially when it carries a potential health hazard like the recently recalled lead-contaminated lunchboxes made in.............where else but China.

How ironic that these particular lunchboxes were distributed by the state of California as part of a campaign to promote healthy eating.

So much for that idea!
