I'm pissed off at the Chinese
I'm pissed off at the Chinese. That's right. Here's why:
1. They tried to pioson my pet.
2. They tried to kill me with anti-freeze tainted toothpaste.
3. They tried to derail are kids for good with lead poisoned Thomas the Train.
4. I'll take a worm in my tequila but not in my chocolate.
5. They tried to choke me with cardboard in my vegetable bun.
That's right. I'm pissed off at the Chinese and I am on a crusade to avoid buying MADE IN CHINA as much as possible. And believe it or not, it''s not as bad as you think. 
All my holiday gift this year are being bought at ETSY. Everything at Etsy.com is made by people like you and me who live in the U.S.A.
Reasons to buy at Etsy:
1. Be cocky and ethnocentric. Its all made in the states.
2. It's not being made by the small hands of a six year old enslaved in a sweat shop.
3. You don't have to wait in line and deal with bitter cashiers who think that you should
be paying them instead.
4. Overcrowded department stores can trigger overeating. Look what it did to Sandra Bullock and I loved her in Speed.
5. Look what it did to your other favorite-once-fat-free celebrities.
So, now every store that I walk into, and with every item I pick up, I yell across the store, "THIS ISN'T MADE BY THE CHINESE, IS IT?"
Get your fellow citizens attention.
And do something Good for the Holiday Season.
I don't like the Chinese either.

Dalai Lama

I, too, am pissed off at the Chinese. Every time I start to buy something now, I notive it was made there. I put it back and look for something made from anywhere else.

We'll never know if it was this that killed her, or she really did get him by a car, but a while after we'd cremated my wife's, my wife found out that the pet food we'd been using had been recalled. It was made in China and linked to hundreds of pet deaths.
Bloody chinese.
