The latest conflicts beteween the war of words beteween the US and China
has resulted in an upswing in insanity.
The Chinese revelations in the UN resulted in Venezuela introducing a
resolution in the UN Security Council calling for an international
condemnation of the United States, Which resulted in the UK delegation
filing a protest against several 'dissapearances' in the Venezuelan
government.
The news cycle was live with arguments and at one point the O'Riley
Factor started to resemble Geraldo when Cynthia Mckinney threw a chair
at Ann Coulter which nearly started a brawl and required Richard
Marcinko to break the two of them up.
The internet blogs were alive with argument, on popular news site
fark.com a poster named bob ondeeznutz compared Wiliams' actions to
Stalin and the proxy wars. A poster named bigpimpinwillie argued that
every country had done proxy wars, at that point the thread devolved in
to cat macros, accusations of internet toughguying, pictures of Jessica
Alba, Salma Hayak, and other female celebs, and links to a video of Rick
Astley singing Never gonna give you up.
Protests on both sides sprung up nearly overnight, Some calling for
Williams to resign, some calling for the use of nukes on China until the
prisoners are returned.
In China hardliners are upset the president didn't execute them and
there have been scattered protest, Student groups are more upset at the
threatened embargo which has been met with skeptical but lukewarm
support in the United States. Unions however strongly support the
boycott and are calling for it to continue, seeing the increased jobs
that should be coming their way.
Actions:
1) Fox news hires a bouncer for The Factor, O'Riley has a broken nose.
2) Basic how things look on the media.
