Nepal, Tibet … same difference.
Even Stephen Hadley, Bush’s National Security Advisor, doesn’t know the difference between Nepal and Tibet. Well, I HOPE he does, and this was just a slip of the tongue.
This really bears out the satirical article I wrote for Shangzilla a couple weeks ago. Matt changed it a little when he printed it, but here is the original:
DNN officials deny bias in China photos
As China netizen outcry over inaccurate reporting increases, DNN officials issued a statement Tuesday denying their mistakes were caused by bias.
“Our mislabeling of photos was simply caused by the fact that we, as Americans, don’t know what’s going on,” said one network leader. “Many of our present employees attended high school during the Bush administration. They’re lucky they can even find the United States on a map.”
The editor who supplied the caption justified himself, saying, “I mean, those pictures were taken in a foreign country. There are lots of foreign countries, like France, and India, and Puerto Rico. I get them all mixed up.” When asked about the picture taken in Nepal that was captioned as being Chinese, he scoffed. “Nepal isn’t a real country. It’s made up, like Khazakstan, for that Borat movie.”
“While it’s easy to suspect that prejudice colored media coverage, there is plenty of evidence to support ineptitude claims,” noted Hong Kong Media University professor W. S. Law. “Just look at last month’s article from the culture section, ‘Hitler’s film Modern Times, a classic for the ages.’”

Dear,
I’m a korean living in seoul.(name: Oh Minseok)
Korean special investigative team are investigating samsung
corporation.
But they do not work right.
I am suspicious to be bought off.
samsung corporation has many crimes.
And the team investigates samsung corporation.
It contains korean companies samsung,huyndai,sk CEOs’ illegal issuing
stocks or bonds.
The quantity are plenty.
(Three company CEOs did(and are doing) many crimes to me.
Many koreans are knowing it.
But many koreans are bought off by illegal issuing stocks or bonds.)
The team are knowing it.
Korean special investigative team must investigate this.
But they are trying to conceal it.
I ask for asking for this criminal investigation to prosecutors in any
country.
And help the shareholders and me.
P.S)
Three companies are hacking me and trying to kill me.
And are suspicious to use my name and email illegally.
If you receive another message that I dictated above are not true,
it is not from me, but from three companies.
The things I dictated above are true.
