And How Would You Like That Penis Done, Sir?

The Chinese are at it again! Rather than relying on the “ol’ Blue Pill remedy,” Chinese restaurants are trying to lure male customers into their establishments by serving a variety of penis dishes.
A 20 year old waitress that works at the Guolizhuang Restaurant in Beijing made these claims:

“For thousands of years, Chinese medicine has used animal penises to cure kidney and erection problems. But if you want something that works faster, we have a wine that contains extracts of heart, penis and blood from a deer,” she added. “That has an effect within 30 minutes.”

To earn the right to eat the genitalia from such endangered species, one must first apply for a special membership card and be ready to pay handsomely.

And we wonder why some species are going extinct! Slaughtering an animal for its penis because of the belief that it will improve the sex lives of the people who eat it. Get with the times people, take the blue pill like everybody else if you can’t get it up! Leave the god damned animals and their penises alone!

China warns of virus-tainted mooncake e-cards

China has warned Internet users to be wary of downloading virus-infected mooncake greeting cards ahead of the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival after a wave of Internet worms hit hard-drives last year.

Mooncakes, sweet pastries with a bean base, are traditionally eaten and given as gifts during the festival, also known as the Moon Festival, a celebration of plenty and togetherness which falls on Sept. 25 this year.

Electronic mooncakes, however, may be safer than the real thing in Guangdong, where only 85 percent of 80 batches of mooncake filling tested met quality standards, according to a report posted on the Web site of the provincial food safety bureau.

Despite finding excessive traces of intestinal bacteria, preservatives and high acidity levels, the authority said consumers could “rest assured” — 98.1 percent of the finished product on supermarket shelves met standards.

Yeesh! If the real stuff won’t get ya, the cyber ones will! Cyber eaters beware!!!!

China is unable to even get balloon inflating right

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!

China still believes in its exports

China is telling the world that their exported products have “limited” safety problems.

The list just keeps getting longer and longer for China’s substandard exports. First to make the news was the plastic laced pet food ingredient exported to the US. After that, the wheels just continued to keep falling off the “Made in China” wagon.

Tainted seafood, toothpaste, drugs, toys, and now tires are being recalled for safety reasons. Tires imported from China since 2002 from the Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Co., of Hangzhou, China could suffer tread separation.

It’s obvious the Chinese don’t give a rat’s ass about the safety of consumers who buy their products overseas, and I’m starting to wonder if the Bush Administration is in the same mindset.

These defective products shouldn’t have even made it to the shelves for consumers to buy in the first place. One death or sickness caused because of a substandard item imported from China is too many.

China needs to clean up its act fast in order to save their “Made in China” brand, and the US Government needs to step up its vigilance and testing of Chinese imports in order to protect consumers before someone is seriously hurt.

Check your tires, check your children’s new toys,if it says “Made or Imported from China” on them I would suspect it’s safety.

We all know about the Mattel safety recall in which some toys imported from China contained lead paint. Here is the list of tires imported from China that suspected to be defective. Check them, for your, and your family’s safety.

According to the filing, the Hangzhou tires at issue were sold under at least four brand names, Westlake, Compass, Telluride and YKS, and in these sizes:

* LT235/75R-15.
* LT225/75R-16.
* LT235/85R-16.
* LT245/75R-16.
* LT265/75R-16.
* LT3X10.5-15.

Yangtze River Dolphin, now EXTINCT

The freshwater dolphin, or Baiji, as it was once known, is gone forever.

An extensive six week search in late 2006 failed to find any evidence that this rare species is still in existence.

The dolphin’s demise resulted from the combination of overfishing, pollution and lack of intervention.

This should serve as a warning to mankind. Because of Man’s negligence and stupidity, the world has lost a living, breathing animal. Extinct is forever!

We all know that China’s environmental record is less than satisfactory, especially the Yangtze River. The quality of the water is not fit for human consumption, so it only stands to reason that it definitely would not be fit for animal habitation either.

And we all know how much the Chinese respect the oceans and its inhabitants. The Chinese continue to decimate populations of the Ocean’s sharks just for a bowl of soup. But it’s not only the Chinese that rape, loot, and pillage the Ocean’s inhabitants, the Japanese are just as guilty when it comes to pushing species of animals to the brink of extinction.

The Japanese will pull anything out of the ocean, regardless of international laws or treaties, and regardless of whether or not an animal is endangered or not.

They have yearly commercial whale hunts, disguised as “scientific” hunts, which they then turn around and sell the meat for profit. They also hunt dolphin. Yes, dolphin, lots of dolphin, which they also sell under the guise of “Whale Meat”.

So, we’ve lost another species of animal. Pollution, overfishing, and lack of intervention all played a part. So here’s a video of some barbaric Japanese dolphin hunters showing their expertise on how to make more dolphin species extinct.

WARNING: This video is graphic. It will anger you. It will scare you. It might even make you sick to your stomach. One thing it will do, is it will change the way you think about how some people, or countries treat animals we share this world with. The reason I have decided to post it here is because it is a very powerful message which coincides with the Baiji becoming extinct.
