Comic Book Guy: I must Protest! Volkswagen Buses Were Never Manufactured In China! From China's Xinhua News Agency comes proof that, whatever the formerly socialist nation's successes in introducing aspects of market economics to their planned economy, they're still getting the hang of producing advertising that works for Westerners. This 3-minute slice of psychedelia is meant to be a Public Service Announcement to educate us foreign devils about the Chinese Communist Party's 13th Five-Year Plan, aka the
Rather intimidating, if taken at face value. The Chinese government listens to subject matter experts and plans accordingly for five whole years. We struggle now to keep the government running for longer than three weeks at a time and one major factions views subject matter experts as the biggest lying liars that ever lied...with facts...
The Chinese have had a greater influence than you think. Have you guys been watching the Republican debates? Each one of them have developed a 4 year tax plan that has a very similar ring to it. You could refer to their individual plans as "The Shitz on You".
Our stalwart Republican hopefuls have worked with advisors, think tanks and, very especially, powerful business men to develop these plans. Each plan involves gathering huge amounts of cash at the tippy-top most portion of the income scale in such tremendous proportions that some of that shit just has to trickle down on you.
I would expect to see the ad any time now. It will be all cool and psychedelic, featuring four musicians wearing Izod and Polo. They'll be singing all about their plan as they ride around atop a Mercedes SUV. Only, in their ad everybody is an expert on poo. Who says conservatives can't be cool?
The sad part is that for all this cutesiness, Xi Jinping has been an old school authoritarian, cracking down on people's internet access, and advocating for hard line old school Maoist reform.
In the ideal Republican world, your neighbor needs an EPA permit if they want to pee outside, but their "brown industries" that spew out pollution measured by the metric ton are "self-regulating".
They have endless meetings to reach "consensus" and when they do, nobody follows it because it's flawed, so in order to get results they have to "break process" and do "work arounds"?

Nor the Meat Puppets.
More somnambulist.
Drugs? Hell this is what happens when you drink milk made of powdered up old school desks and your rubber ducky's made of polonium

And they would have gotten away with it if not for you meddling Wonkettes!

I can see They Might Be Giants doing a super kick-ass version of this song.
It'd be super kick-ass!

If you ask, you get a few years working in the countryside.
I don't know why they didn't stick with this video https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Because everything TMBG does is kick ass!
Business schools? I think someone accidentally tried to pursue a M.B.A. at the Rhode Island School of Design.

Having a 5 year plan implies people understand the future. History indicates otherwise.
