When someone really faked off my dad, his most common and fiercest reply was "Why don't you go fak yourself and see how that works out for you?" In the spirit of that feeling, I take the liberty of tweaking it a bit to apply to the latest row between Google and my favorite place on earth: China. You know, China,where the internet is free, and the rest of us are being unreasonable imperialist faks.

China’s latest repressive stunt: blocking YouTube ‘coincidentally’ after a video was posted of the Chinese security force beating the fak out of some Tibetan protesters during last year’s clashes prior to the start of the Olympics. For some reason, I’m still not over the fact China was allowed to host the Olympics but we all know why China was allowed to host the Olympics. What a show indeed especially when it came to China’s sorry-ass attempt to show the world how host-worthy (ie civilized and democratic) it’d become overnight even though it still wanted to block the world press from unrestrictive internet access. Ah, China, you big control freak!

So unless you live in isolation or just returned from an expedition to the Amazon, you must know what is currently going on in Tibet. To put in mildly, Tibetans had enough of their Chinese oppressors and demand independence. Apparently, China invaded Tibet 50 years ago and claimed it as part of China. It seems that Chinese always thought that Tibet is part of their country. However, Tibetans for some bizarre and unexplained reason never quite agreed with that claim. They must be bonkers. I mean why wouldn't somebody want to be part of the great People's Republic of China? After all, China is such a democratic place where human rights take uppermost priority, NOT.

Car manufacturers will do anything to convince us to buy their vehicles. The industry is extremely competitive and even a single idea can be make-or-break for them. That is actually good for the buyer. Because of the strong competition, cars are becoming more technologically advanced and safer each year.

Nonsensical litigation strikes yet again. Even worse than your average Joe or Jane suing to profit from their own stupidity is when it’s an obvious act of greed by someone whose net worth exceeds that of a small nation. This time, it’s author JK Rowling who's filed a lawsuit against the Calcutta organizers of the annual Hindu festival, Durga Puja, according to BBC’s website.
