Chinese fruitcakes attack nutcakes

by James Denison - 12/15/12 1:34 PM

Truly, life is stranger than fiction.

Villager Ling went into a fight with Uyghurs due to communication
misunderstandings when buying a piece of Xinjiang nut cake. Verbal
dispute escalated into a fight and then a mass fight. As a result, two
people were injured; and Xinjian nut cakes of a total worth of about RMB
160,000 were destroyed. Total damage was about RMB 200,000, including
fees for broken motorcycle and injured people. Currently, local police
at Pingjiang already detained Ling. The 16 Uyghur sellers were properly
compensated and sent back to Xinjiang.

By yesterday afternoon a topic related to Xinjiang nut cakes was the
second highest trending topics on Weibo, and state newspaper People's Daily picked up the story."

Life?...Been there....done that?

Twinkie madness grips Chicago as Hostess' last shipment hits shelves

As of early Tuesday, the Twinkie craze continued online, with more than 1,800 items on eBay containing the word "Twinkie," including a listing seeking $2 million for rights to the Internet domain "I like a Twinkie" and $120,000 for an unopened box of 10 Twinkies.

"GET THIS ORIGINAL BOX 10 COUNT INDIVIDUALLY WRAP CAKES NOW FACTORY SEALED," the listing reads. "YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GET IT ANYWHERE ELSE AGAIN -- ALSO GOING TO GOOD CAUSE."

China can't hold a candle to .America when it comes to nutcakes.

"YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GET IT ANYWHERE ELSE AGAIN

YET ANOTHER REASON TO COME TO CANADA

Send us your poor, your downtrodden, your Twinkie Junkies.

But considering how poor JP was confused in another thread over who they were praying to, maybe it's best to feed his delusion?

One of several ethnic minorities in China who have been fighting over bigger issues for some time. Can't happen in the civilized West, of course.
