oooohhh how HORRIBLe it must be to live in a country where the mainstream media isn't independent at all but carefully controlled by state & corporate interests!!

Invisible Man bless America!

I fear, Jim, that this is just the tip of the iceberg.

This is awesome -- helps me realize how much I've missed The Onion of late. Since being laid off I've been spending more time reading books and print newspapers(ha ha). Thanks for posting!

Jim, Chinese love scallions, too. :)

Btw, the Chinese character for fish "魚", which we see is placed at the end of each mock article, happens to rhyme with another character, "愚", which means to fool someone, make a fool of, foolish or stupid, etc.. It's like April Fool's Day, but in summer. Just a hunch.
