China porks your buns
By andybyers
06 August 2007


SHENZHEN — China revealed today that the cardboard-stuffed pork buns reportedly being foisted of late on an unsuspecting public turn out to have been a hoax. "Naturally we're very upset," said a spokesperson. "Both because our friends abroad would credit such a story in the first place, and because it damages our image as a trustworthy trading partner concerned with human welfare." He went on to say that the person responsible for starting the rumor has been sentenced to be shot 472 times, and that this groundless, prejudiced story has hurt the export of such products as nitroglycerin-imbued Pyro-jamas, Wacky Glue Frosted Muffins, and underwear woven from inexpensive poison ivy.

You've certainly got into the spirit of things,here with this bit of zany nonsense ;wonderfully silly and surreal ....but then I wouldn't put anything past those Chinese, any idea where you can get the inexpensive underwear from?

Nitroglycerin PJs? Better not give any to teenagers - explosive enough at that age. 
 
Enjoyed.

With a target like China it would be hard to miss. That said, you hit the bullseye with the frequency of a seasoned marksman. 
Congrats on a fine, concise piece. 
Cheers!
