...and in news for the fun of it...
Fed up with an almost constant diet of bad news about quality and safety
problems, some Chinese are taking out their frustrations with biting jokes on
the Internet about the seemingly never-ending scandals.
One joke, entitled "The lucky day of a Chinese", takes a look at all the
dangerous or unsanitary goods the average Zhou could run into on a daily
basis.
It reads "Get up early, clean your teeth with carcinogenic toothpaste, and
drink a glass of expired milk with excess levels of iodine and contaminated
with melamine."
Other delicacies it suggests eating during the course of the day are eggs
tinted with banned food colourant Sudan Red, eels fed on contraceptives, and
cabbage washed with DDT -- all references to previous health scandals in
China.
The joke ends sarcastically, "What a great day!"
