Ahaha, I read this earlier today. First pet food, then toothpaste, now cardboard bread. This is why I dont eat shit(literally) made in China.

This could be a hit to their economy if they dont start cleaning up fast.

Sorry Jim. Just lean towards the ice desserts and the shrimp balls or rice cakes.

Yeah, because the Chinese government is totally not in the practice of suppressing truthful media because it makes them look bad.

Take some of your own advice.

Easy to believe that a reporter's attempt at creating a ratings bonanza would get "urban legend" legs and be repeated as gospel worldwide, regardless of authenticity.

Also easy to believe that a legit expose would quickly be surpressed by an authoritarian Chinese gov't panicked about a poor reputation in the international community, especially with the 08 Beijing Olympics approaching.

Either way.. you buy off dirty, shirtless street vendors, you roll the dice :D

Hey so you are trying to rebuke my argument with more hear-say. You dont know for sure if that is what really happened. Obviously stamping out this coverage is in Chinas best interest. I just threw that up there to continue on with the story and to propose that maybe this news piece was caught in the hype, the not so obvious side.

Everytime stories like this surface you always have a string of bullshit that follows. It is quite possible that the reporter was acting in self-interest just as much as the government, both of us do not know, so why you gotta be a dick about it?

I think you just like arguing with yourself.

Just like the other day, i post a quote that expands on what you said and then you have to come back with an argument against what i just said which was just explaining what you said, so basically you are arguing against yourself.

Here i will even repost it.

EBBOMEGA rebukes himself because i was just expanding on what he said
: The pendulum swings both ways. Overcomplication of language can be just as damaging as oversimplification. They can both be doubleplusungood.

Hmmm "way too many syllables" and "Overcomplication of language can be just as damaging as oversimplification." Looks like a contradiction to me.
OH NOES, looks like you lose all creditability, lets argue about it!!!

He does. In fact, his whole fucking crew does. These people argue and do their best to make your blood boil for kicks. Any argument they make, totally ignore it.

They think in circles. And circles are forever, with no beginning and no end. Why you think they spend every day on this site for the past 7 years... because they have no goals or endpoints in their life.. just circles.

I mapped it out once, there is a fully predictable manner to their mannerisms. I set out a honey trap and posted the list in a new post, and they followed it to the letter as they were debating me.

Dont waste your time with those people. Once they mark you any energy you put into debating them goes into the black hole of waste.

He's back.

Fuck off Kris. You seriously don't know me or any of my friends so stop acting like you do. YOU'RE marked because you've consistently been a tool in the past. You can't seem to put your face anywhere without provoking bullshit.

This is your first post in what... three? four months? And all you can think to do is slag me with pointless rhetoric and zero substance. Only person being circular here is you buster. But thanks for coming out.

Semantics: The last refuge of the man with no more basis for their arguments.

PS: The fact that you're doing shit like "Placing a honey trap" means you're a troll, a flamebaiter, and have nothing to contribute except spawning argument for the sake of argument. Same as it ever was.

Actually we only do that with you.

That is quite possibly the most laughable thing that I've ever seen you post. A majority of us have careers, quite successful ones at that. Don't place blame because some of us are further along that line than yourself and have the luxury of slagging a plebe like you in the process.

The fact that you took the time to map out a series sequenced events aside prior to a post only proves that you're consumed by it. When the majority of us don't even think about you until you pop your head in. Which is usually followed by some form of rhetoric that could only come from someone who has thier head firmly planted between thier colon and small intestine.

muaha. I live in Chaoyang, where the bao zi came from! There's no way this is keeping me away from eating street food. There is just too much delicious-ness. Last night dinner was purely street food. I love Beijing!
