I guess if you are hungry enough, you'd eat anything. None for me thanks.

I hope that is based on KNOWING you are eating cardboard....The caustic soda ruins if for me.

This reminds me of the time I was eating a sloppy burrito and came across the paper it was wrapped in....I wondered where the edges on the other side of the teeth marks went.

I was just watching a spanish language news report.

China is at it again!

Apparently, counterfeit ciggies are being made in China and sent to Panama.

The fake smokes have cow and rat crap in them. People are buying them because of the cheap prices-thinking they are buying real cigarettes.

In one interview with a street vendor, the seller stated that he didn't know where they came from, he just sold them.

Nice.

I hope this brings something to light: To the Western world, China looks like a looming competitor. The truth is that it's not.

It's taking a small percentage of cities and speeding them ahead while the rest of the country wallows in sorrowful neglect. I saw this in the televised Chinese news. The production of these buns take place in a very very poor rural neighborhood (literally, some random guy's home). China is really despicable sometimes.
