    Am I really the only one who was somewhat amused by these?

    So is it just me, or is anyone else having trouble seeing exactly what the point of this was?

    This is what I've got so far:
    1) China had an awesome Olympics in 2008, and no one else can hope to top that.
    2) China has many people emigrate to the U.S. where they are successful.
    3) Profit?

    @BruschisBrewsky: I suppose we should be happy that Moe didn't have an assassination fantasy in this one. But, it could also be that I haven't found the coded message within the random set of words that appeared on my screen.

    "The Chinese people, by contrast, hold an innate reverence for numbers."

    This was the line of my speech that brought down the house at the Society For Obscenely Racist Math Educators National Convention.

    the counterpoint is moe. of course it is.

    and how exactly is this a counterpoint? it's more like point-another unrelated point.

    Tell me about it. Never again will I walk into my dad banging my mom from behind. I still have the Stetson welt on my face.
