That's nice, Beestie.

And to Imprint:

What planet did you just arrive from?

Busterb, precisely! Its cheap crap, manufactured under a communist system by companies that don't have to be competitive because the government props them up.

One thing it has done is kill Chinese workers at an alarming rate. Pollution is running rampant, lung cancer has become the prime killer and strange diseases are popping up like daisies.

Alarming to us, part of their 10 year economic plan to reduce surplus population for them.

I ran across this at a site called The Superficial. Emphasis mine.

Meg Ryan, star of such movies as Crap and Crap 2: the Craptathlon, will adopt a Chinese baby later today, according to OK! magazine. The adoption is scheduled to take place at an American consulate in China. An insider tells the publication, "The consulate will formalize the adoption and grant Meg's new daughter a visa and a social security number. They will probably be flying back to the US immediately after the process is complete."

China is like the Wal-Mart of adoptions. You touch down at the airport in Beijing and they just start throwing babies and fortune cookies at you. But good for Meg. Now all she needs to do is name the baby Lo Pan and teach it to shoot fire from its eyes.

Well, if abortion and contraception become illegal in this country, maybe we can get Wal-Mart to offer adoptions. With %10 off discounts in the portrait studio and 1 free bag of diapers with each adoption (limit 2).
