    You are a master of straight faced disingenuousness. You totally had me. I honor your skill.

    The Cold War is over. Get over it Americans. It's stupid to tease something that doesn't exist.

    If you are to comment on the Uyghur riot or TAM Masscare saying sacarstically that it has zero casualties, that's another story...but I am not gonna dig into politics here.

    I agree that this isn't the place for politics, but the Beijing olympics didn't do the Chinese media huge favors.

    That being said, I think the Onion's communist theme right now isn't very funny, although some of the parts had me laughing like Yao's playing against the Cobra and Tracy saying he'd die a pathetic death.

    There was once Chuck Norris couldn't break a brick with his round-house-kick, it was because it has Yao's name on it.

    Communism society doesn't exist, only thing does exist is stupidity.
    The stupidity of Chinese nation for thinking they can form a utopia country under the ideal theory of Communism, AND the stupidity of ppl like you to command on Communism without an understanding of what it actually is.

    And what are your credentials for criticizing an entire regime composed of some of the biggest brains selected from a population of 1.4 billion? Where are your getting the idea that they're trying to build a utopia modeled after communist philosophy? Making these sweeping generalizations--I beg you question that very stupidity you mention onto yourself.

    Apparently, the Onion was sold to a Chinese corporation a few days ago, hence the tone of this and every article on the Onion. It's even made it's way onto the Onion News Network.

    Stay tuned for the very last comment.
