The disgraced head of China's food and drug agency was sentenced to death yesterday amid a wave of consumer safety scandals.
Zheng Xiaoyu, 62, was found guilty of accepting 6.5m yuan (£433,000) worth of bribes from pharmaceutical companies to expedite the approval of new drugs.

Underscoring the state's determination to crack down on corruption and consumer safety violations, he is the most senior official to receive the death penalty in seven years.

Beijing fears a collapse of consumer confidence after a series of deadly food and drug scandals, often linked with lax regulation and bribe taking. With more Chinese products filling shelves overseas, several cases have had international repercussions.
Damn. They don't fuck around in China. Then again, I suppose a good case can be made that Xiaoyu is guilty of multiple counts of involuntary manslaughter, if not second degree murder.

"Chinese find way. They take all drug dealers, drug addicts, line them up in the town square, shoot them in back of head."
"That'd never work here. Goddamn politicians wouldn't go for it."
"Shoot them furst."

I couldn't remember and didn't want to sacrafice the joke for facts. Hence the question mark.

You might be right. I don't know for sure. I tried looking it up and all I see is that he did it out of the depression caused by breaking up with Beverly D'Angelo. I can't say I blame him. Did you see her bazoombas in the first VACATION? Yowza!

I have been defeated. This sounds familiar, but I can't place the reference.

Rex, I can't see your pic. I have this uneasy feeling it's Wesley Snipes in the Red Devils shirt.
