A Chinese newspaper, the Beijing Evening News, picked up a story from an American media source about some structural reforms for the Capitol.

Yes, from The Onion!

Here's the blunder, as told by Reuters.

Originally picked up from /.

Knowing China, the writers wrote that story were probably executed.

I suppose Onion-related things are too looney for me to file away in the Flameboard.

For now.

I guess that the Chinese are too set in their state-run media system to understand the concept of political satire.

Very amusing...

I HATE THE CHINEZE LETS BOMB EM!

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Yes. I hate the Chinese. They are all indeed extraordinarily stupid people. With bad hair. Yes.
