Chinese Food Makes Me Sick

It doesn't actually, it's a staple of my diet, for better or worse, especially on Christmas (I'm nothing if not a living embodiment of at least one Jewish stereotype. It's more than one, probably, but that's for another post.)

But I have a good friend who recently graduated from Columbia University and is spending part of this year in China, learning Chinese. So it's nice to know that China's kids are discovering the wonders of online love. Unfortunately, in this case, with disastrous consequences.

"China's communist government has said in the past it was worried about the amount of time children spend playing online games and getting access to violent and obscene material."

"Violent and obscene material." You mean like this? ...

I couldn't find these images on any of the standard "mainstream media" sites, so granted they could be fakes (some of the images say "The Daily China" on them and since I don't speak any form of Chinese I can't verify the reliability of that source, or whether the images actually came from its site) but the obscene brutality, torture and mass execution for petty crimes perpetrated by the Chinese government is well-documented. For a video display of these and other images, overlaid with creepy martial music, go to

Yeah, China's human rights record is horific. Perhaps if they had WMDs, we'd be over there pushing for regime change. Oh wait...

Seriously tho, for many years, my friends at DRCNet have been reporting on their summery executions of suspected drug users/dealers/traffickers, etc. to mark UN anti-drug day.

I wonder if the people in these pictures got high immediately after the shot was taken:
