C'mon, who's headin' to China...

...just to scarf down another Big Mac?
-- BEIJING -- Canine cuisine is being sent to the doghouse during next month's Beijing Olympic Games. The Xinhua News Agency reports dog meat has been struck from the menus of officially designated Olympic restaurants.

Beijing tourism officials are telling other outlets to discourage consumers from ordering dishes made from dogs.
Where's that hometown pride?

"Posting a pic of a chocolate lab? Are you trying to drive some Chinese culinary enthusiasts insane?"

"It's the best of both worlds... chocolate and dog!"

WELCOME, YET AGAIN, READERS OF CANADIAN CYNIC

Sorry to disappoint everybody, folks... but you won't actually find the phrase... "hilariously barbaric little Chinks"... anywhere on this blog.

Of course, the Cynic does love his word play.

It's a real shame about CC. He hasn't been the same since all the confusion about his relationship with that other Waterloo blogger... who also, strangely enough... was calling himself Canadian Cynic.

In fact, it seems to have caused the Cynic to have some sort of nervous breakdown.

Get well soon, CC.

We're all worried about you.
