China Buying US Directed Sound 'Weapon'

Posted by samzenpus on from the people's-sound-cannon dept.

holy_calamity writes "The directed sound weapon made by US company ATC is being exported to the Chinese police, despite the public law banning sales of weapons to China. Turns out that such 'non-lethal' technologies are not covered by this law — an omission that may become more widely known if they are used to quell high-profile protests during the Olympics."

    Let's protest the Chinese occupation of Tibet for the past 60 years - most of which have been peaceful, and completely ignore the US occupation of Iraq. In fact it's a great excuse to forget Iraq completely, right?

    Correct! It now stands at -1, offtopic, despite the fact that it discussed exactly what the summary discussed.

    It's "offtopic" because

    1. It's a lame joke
    2. If you have to explain a joke, it's a lame joke
    3. If you have to explain that it is, in fact, a joke, it's a REALLY lame joke
    4. If you have to explain that it's a joke THREE FUCKING TIMES it's a REALLY REALLY lame joke
    5. If you have to explain that it's a joke THREE FUCKING TIMES and then tell people that if they don't think it's funny they're dumb, it's a REALLY REALLY REALLY lame joke.

    Now go on back to your job as a TV sitcom writer, mr "ILuvRamen".
