I’m free-associating tonight, and here’s what I’ve got: How about the toy factories that make all our Barbie accessories and Bob the Builders stop coating them with bright, durable, poisonous lead paint. For God’s sake, what is it with China trying to poison the people and dogs that buy stuff from them? In a country that summarily executes high-ranking officials for ‘dereliction of duty,’ I would think people would be more careful about their job performance.
I mean, we don’t need to import poison, we’ve got plenty of it right here. Take these guys, for instance. They tried to pass off catfish bait + vinegar as heroin. Now that’s American creativity right there. Ever wonder what it would be like to mainline some catfish bait? Me neither, but it can’t be too fun. Can you imagine the conversation that hatched this plan? Three parting observations: 1) There seems to be quite the cottage industry for catfish bait. 2) Target has bought AdWords for the search term “catfish bait” (see inset image at right). 3) I wonder if any catfish bait is imported from China?
