The ChiComs are Party Poopers!
One of the fun things about going to Red China is the mangled English they use on their signs. That is coming to an end as they get ready for the 2008 Olympics.
You can't expect the brainwashed offspring of Chairman Mao to have a sense of humor.
Humorless Drone Party Poopers!!

BEIJING -- For years, foreigners in China have delighted in the loopy English translations that appear on the nation's signs. They range from the offensive ("Deformed Man," outside toilets for the handicapped) to the sublime (on park lawns, "Show Mercy to the Slender Grass").
Last week, Beijing city officials unveiled a plan to stop the laughter. With hordes of foreign visitors expected in town for the 2008 Summer Olympics, Beijing wants to cleanse its signs of translation nonsense. For the next eight months, 10 teams of linguistic monitors will patrol the city's parks, museums, subway stations and other public places searching for gaffes to fix.
You can't expect the brainwashed offspring of Chairman Mao to have a sense of humor.
