So they celebrate huh? I think it's a sad testament to humanity when a nation celebrates being the most environmentally destructive. Sure, China has advanced alot, and they are building a better industrial world for their citizens, but they are destroying the natural one. Smog is not a symble of supremacy, thank you.

Naut, the Onion is a satirical magazine of long-standing. This is a foray into the 'Net of classic onion style. It is not an actual news report. It is satire.

Thanks for the link. It was funny!

See....my cheeks....they burn.

I didnt realize it was the Onion. Although, considering the poster WAS the onion, and it said it on the "newscast" I probably should have guesed it. Boy. I'll need to swallow to get my foot outa my mouth. Gotta shake that shoe, and all that.

They've caught me by surprise before as well, Nautipus. It shows one needs to be careful of what one sees or reads on the internet.

Fitting for it to happen on April Fools Day though.
