There’s something about China lately that has to make one laugh. The situation is going from really bad to laughable.

Pollution, corruption, tainted food exports, lead painted toy exports, and brutal shark finning are just a few of the serious problems China is inflicting on the world and its own people.

Now, in classic Elmer Fudd style, China has proven again that it finds even the simplest of tasks too complicated to complete without first making a spectacle of itself.

Hundreds of hydrogen balloons exploded as they were being handed out to students at a Chinese sports meeting, injuring more than 70, Xinhua news agency said.

The accident happened on Sunday when the 1,500 balloons were being distributed to students at the opening of the sports meet at the Lanzhou Electric Power School in Lanzhou, capital of the northwestern province of Gansu, Xinhua said.

Luckily the victims were not injured seriously, or so that is what they tell us! No details were given as to why the balloons exploded.

With the Olympics just around the corner, one can only imagine what China will do next to endear itself to the world!
