Hungry Tiger, Laughing Dragon!!

Those darn Chinese are clever. They have managed to poison our cats and dogs, sell us unsafe tires, send us lethal toothpaste, and poison our children with toys filled with enough lead to fill a sixty mile long Number Two pencil. Yeah, I know pencil leads are made of graphite but you get my point.

However, this is merely the tip of the iceberg my friends.

The staff at Bagwine Ruminations has uncovered other Chinese products that are every bit as dangerous as the aforementioned products.

For instance, we found that there is a Chinese knock off of Preparation H floating around this great nation. We discovered that this hemorrhoid relief cream is tainted with elements of “Uncle Scratchy’s Hilarious Itching Powder”. Sure, it will reduce your ‘roids, but that is because that upon application, people scratch their growths so furiously that the hemorrhoids turn to the consistency akin to a plate full of stewed tomatoes. Beware, and Ewww.


I have first hand knowledge of an unfortunate product reversal. This past Fourth of July, I bought some Chinese made Roman Candles. I lit them and the only thing I could do with them was light my cigarette…no flaming, colorful ball action happening. However, the other day I used a Chinese made Bic Lighter to light my smoke, and my face was accosted by flaming fire balls of a myriad of colors. My nose is disfigured, my lips are still melting, and I am still seeing red, blue, and green spots in my eyes!!

Ladies Beware!! There is a Chinese made Home Pregnancy Test on the market. No matter what, the test will always come out negative. There have been several reports of women after finding that they are “not pregnant” even though they are, drown their sorrows and their burgeoning fetus in a fifth of vodka and Paxil. Those damn Chinks don’t want ANYONE to procreate.

Finally along the lines of another toy type thing…Do Not, and I repeat Do Not buy the “Happy Super Safari Coloring Book” for your kid. This coloring book produced in Shanghai is fraught with problematic implications.

There have been seventeen reports that upon completion of a child coloring the leaping Bengal Tiger on page seven, the tiger comes to life mauling the child and summarily eating him or her. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Well folks, I hope my Public Service Announcement will help to keep you and your family safe. I must clean up and get ready for the arrival of a Bagwine friend from the Great Northwest. Until we meet again, Cheers!!

P.S. Effin' Blogger...

Why wasn't this on CNN????????????? The outrage!!!

I hope I'm not pregnant. ;) Now THAT would be a miracle baby, huh?

Schmoop said...

Deb: That child would indeed be immaculate, but also cute as hell. Cheers!!

Desert Songbird said...

Did I ever mention that I'm part Chinese? I wonder if that's why I spout off at inappropriate times, have a caustic/acidic wit, and can sell myself as one thing while actually being an entirely different product...

Odat said...

I think i'll buy lots of those coloring books, for the times when screaming babies are on the plane with me, at the movies or at a play,,,well you get my drift...(kidding!!!)
(I really love screaming babies) hehe.
Peace

Schmoop said...

Songbird: No matter how you act, I'd still buy ya.

Odat: That isn't a bad idea at all. I'll keep that in mind. Cheers!!

Can you send me one of those lighters? I have an irritating friend I need to loan it to....

Schmoop said...

HA...I never thought of that Tigger, consider it done. Cheers!!

katherine. said...

oh man...don't get me started on this one. Labor demands and tax benefits force companies overseas. China basically wants to take over the world. And the American public acts SURPRISED and outraged that everyone around the world doesn't play by our rules....

(what's with cursing blogger?)

Schmoop said...

Katherine: Dont get ME started. People in this country do not think China is a threat!! China can someday say, "We are foreclosing and we (The US) as a country are Screwed!!" We borrow so much money from China it's ridiculous.

As far as Blogger, it was down this morning when I was trying to post. Cheers!!

Mo and The Purries said...

So you mean "Quality Control" and "Made in China" are NOT synonymous?
Who Knew?

Is Blogger run by the Chinese?Hmm...do I sense a conspiracy??

katherine. said...

matt - don't know if you read Electronic Village...but I enjoy it. Related Rant this morning....personally I find it unbeLIEVable the US would contract with China on this....

katherine. said...

King is ours…not “Made in China”

second try....rolling my eyes

Schmoop said...

All I can say right now is: Nice apartment.

Lizza said...

Oh, Matt! They aren't too bad. At least you get a laugh from reading the instructions.

Vinny "Bond" Marini said...

I find this offensive to all that is dear to me....those billions of people and you are slapping each and every one of them in the face...HOW DARE YOU SIR...do you not have any respect ????

How's that Songbird... I stuck up for you!

Lizza said...

Btw, the coloring books sound awesome. I just hope no forced labor was involved in their creation.

Liz Hill said...

The Rabbitt vibrator is Made in China Just sayin;-)

none said...

Not to mention chinese condoms...

Julie said...

**runs upstairs to the toy bag to check her rabbit**

Cinnamon Girl said...

I was pondering this the other day. On top of the pet foods, the toys, and all that, they also are getting flooded, and lost a ton of miners. Someone up there in the big wok in the sky is not happy with China. Either that or the poor folks just inherited my luck :P

Sparky Duck said...

Is it okay if I still eat chinese food? I mean as long as I don't think its recycled rat? I love the Moo Shu

and I blame blogger for no hottie yet today

Thanks for the warning on the preggo test AND the coloring book. I'm going to my children's room right now and burning the damn things...not IN their room, I'll take them outside of course. ;)

Cheesy said...

RW said...

Turnbaby uses a rabbit vibrator? wow damm who cares if it is made in china or not...woohoo ;D

Janna said...

Apparently I need to Google "jackrabbit" and find out what the hell that thing is...

Have I been missing out?
