- sockpuppets, on 08/08/2008, -6/+74I sent my housekeeper there to help clean things up.
Now's she's maid in China. - kuroikenshi, on 08/08/2008, -1/+37You guys above do know that the story is from the Oni...
Oh never mind. - thegrantman, on 08/08/2008, -1/+34Now I know why The Chinese won't allow access to the Internet.....it's because of the Onion.
- sockpuppets, on 08/08/2008, -0/+23The stupid is strong with you.
- diggproof, on 08/08/2008, -3/+25When did The Onion start doing serious reporting?
- inactive, on 08/08/2008, -0/+18A joke a grandmother would love...rare on digg.
Congratulations sir. - slymi2005, on 08/08/2008, -1/+17That was so lame it was funny.
- jayobear, on 08/08/2008, -0/+15http://www.instantrimshot.com/
- mecharabbit, on 08/08/2008, -5/+18They should relocate the Olympics to Taiwan. China would be soooooooo pissed.
- Alex2, on 08/08/2008, -0/+12All news is from the Onion. just the names and places have been changed.
- sockpuppets, on 08/08/2008, -2/+14These comments are proof Digg is filled with bots and retards. Would the last decent digger out the door please turn off the lights?
- mayra1201, on 08/08/2008, -3/+14whoa, for a second i believed it. DAMN YOU, ONION!
- jayobear, on 08/08/2008, -0/+10Whooosh.
- inactive, on 08/08/2008, -2/+12They also have donated more unconditional food and aid to Haiti than any other country in the world.
Not everything is black and white, people need to stop treating China like they are some uber bad guy. They have been and still are making some very poor choices when it comes to industrialization, but they have also done some very good things for the world. - inactive, on 08/08/2008, -5/+15What about Burma? China actually helped people during the earthquake. Burma's government literally left everyone in the country rotting after the typhoon while the government held huge parties. But I suppose you didn't know that, because you're too narrow minded since the olympics are tomorrow, after all.
- inactive, on 08/08/2008, -0/+8:O Where has this been all my life?!
- jlan, on 08/08/2008, -1/+9Do some research into Tibet and you'll find there is nothing free about it - even before China took over.
- inactive, on 08/08/2008, -1/+8These comments are raping my eyes.
- dipdog21, on 08/08/2008, -0/+7I just about fell for it then I scrolled back to the top...
- cyrix, on 08/08/2008, -0/+6Greatest website ever. I will never be able to repay you for this.
- mklnz2, on 08/08/2008, -5/+11Lol @ all the comments think it is serious...totally shows how effective Western media is, they report it, people believe it.
Iraq is evil on an article - MUST BE TRUE
China is evil - MUST BE TRUE
Free Tibet because they'll be better off independant - MUST BE TRUE - Aceanuu, on 08/08/2008, -1/+6***** YOU! Two of my friends died trying to breathe in China at the Olympics!
- devilgoob, on 08/08/2008, -0/+5oh, then I am stupid.
- sockpuppets, on 08/08/2008, -0/+5You've officially adopted a retard. Please pick up your papers at the window. We'll do the standard vaccinations and have him waiting on a leash in the lobby for you.
- jayobear, on 08/08/2008, -0/+5Trust me, I had the exact same reaction when I found out.
- ParaSwarm, on 08/08/2008, -0/+5It's the Onion, dude. Parody. Joke story.
- alexforcefive, on 08/08/2008, -2/+7China was the only country allowed into burma at the time. A lot of our (the west's) aid was channeled through the chinese for that reason.
If you want to argue that we should have done things differently, I won't disagree. But the way you paint the picture is not accurate at all. - inactive, on 08/08/2008, -0/+4No more corrupt than any other country.
- jayobear, on 08/08/2008, -0/+4Pay it forward.
- inactive, on 08/08/2008, -0/+4YOU ARE A MORON.
This is a public service as a moron never knows they are a moron. You are welcome. - voxtarri, on 08/08/2008, -1/+5Do some research on the Olympics too. The Olympics are politically neutral.
- Lythia, on 08/08/2008, -1/+5I was reading this at my desk next to my mainland Chinese colleagues at the office. After reading this, I lifted my head and was about to utter "中国是不是真的不参加奥运？" Then I caught myself, took a look at the URL... and thanked agnosticism/god/buddha that I had the innate instinct to check the source before spreading gossip. Haha :) Oh I love the Onion. Now I'm going to forward this article to my Chinese colleagues anyway and see if they get shocked, as they definitely don't know the Onion's rep.
- Miamisun, on 08/08/2008, -0/+4Nothing like reading an entire story and saying WTF and then seeing that it was in the Onion after i read the story.
- FearFactory, on 08/08/2008, -0/+4Maiden China
- kidathinnes, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3yeah it had me going for a while, i was staring in shock. Then I realized I've been duped.
- inactive, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3ROLF..they SHOULD be politically neutral...
- Trigonometron, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3Thought it said Poor_Conditions_China_Refuses_To_Send_Dragons_To_Olympics
- DrNil8tor, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3Damn it!!! (pulling hair out in frustration) The onion got me again.
- drgmdp, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3sshhhhhh!! it's funnier when the others don't realize
- mathwiz1991, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2Congratulations, would you like a cookie?
- chaoswings, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2from my limited grasp of Chinese and with the help of a translator: "Is China really not attending the Olympic games?" or something like that. I wish translation software at least made an attempt at grammar.
- goodolboykt, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2Burried because of Onion breath
- LMaxey, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2I wondered why it was so dark in here.
- Gemfinder, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2You know...like most Onion articles, it has a seed of truth.
One of the bigger reasons they're holding the equestrian venue in Hong Kong is *because* the air quality is better there. - oMeSSiaHo, on 08/08/2008, -4/+6I love how all the mass China hate didnt start till about six months before the Olympics. People had four years to call for a boycott and complain but they didnt. Eventually it became hip to rag on China so here we are. Its sorta like how the interwebs love Ron Paul even though he is against Net Neutrality. Self righteous indignation is a fickle little bitch.
Oh dear, I've called out two groups of people. Its the red button on the right... - askantik, on 08/08/2008, -2/+4Considering China has ruled Tibet pretty much non-stop since the early 1800s, that statement doesn't really make any sense.
- inactive, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2Yes, you are. Try to remember it for future reference.
- cyrix, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2Oh trust me, I'm spreading the absolute godliness of this site like wildfire.
- jayobear, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2People digging this guy down are only bitter because they fell for it.
