It is entirely possible that the Slashdot editor thought that this was a real newsclip. Isn't that sadder than if they thought that this was funny to post?

I've never found the Onion to be funny. I've known people who couldn't describe stories on there without practically breaking down in tears from laughing so hard. But for me, it's never been more than an "Oh, that's cute" sort of reaction.
You conservatives are so ignorant sometimes. China has sent people up to space for years, small children. The sewing machines used in the Nike factory are more efficient in zero-G, and a small child can make twice as many sneakers in a spacecraft. It makes no sense to give them helmets and spacesuits, because that would negate the advantage small fingers have in sewing sneakers.
I think that China is sending people up voluntarily is just a stunt.

And I'm supposed to believe he lead the invasion AND went to the moon? COme on! How naive do they think we are?

So let's list the problems here.
* No submitter - so we have no one to blame.
* Duplicate article - the launch was already well covered earlier in the week.
* Offensive - oppressive communist governments = lulz for som, but not for me, apparently.
This should be under Idle, since it's not really all that clever.

They put irrelevant and wrong words in peoples mouths all of the time. Did you really think cheney said "bring it" before an explosive game of street rules basketball? The only difference was they used stock footage of Zhai Zhigang, the actual astronaut who walked in space and translated it to their own end. It was as much of a parody of the current state of newsreporting as it was a parody of Chinese government. There was nothing far reaching or out of bounds about any of this. You seem to have said that you had no problenms with poking fun at things you don't like but are hurt and offended when someone pokes fun at things you identify with. What does that say about you?

Funny is usually when there is some degree of truth behind. Cannot see any in this clip. The China Space program is the pride of the nation and queues are as long as everywhere to sign up. China has money in abundance (real money not debt!)... so making them look like a south park episode of the mexian NASA makes it look double stupid.

"Beating people to death is more cost effective" just like lowering a little girl into a tank full of leaches as a cost effective way to fatten them up! It's true, I'm not kidding.
Most favored nation, an all day shower of nukes would be too good.
Go ahead, flame me! Communism is a plague, a disease, a raw sore on the Human race's ass!
That's right. Communism is a plague. Oh and which country's federal government is spending billions buying up bad debt? There's a piece of blatant socialism right there, whereas China is a capitalist country. It's only people too stupid to realise that the US is one of the poorest nations who don't seem to get that.
But I agree, you should keep on this rant and try and convince as many other Americans as possible you are right. Then maybe China will get pissed off and call in the debt.
I'd find it kind of funny telling my son that he has to eat all his vegetables because there are children starving in the US of A.
What are you trying to do Slashdot? Shoot yourself in the foot? Worsen your reputation? Jump the shark? Get on Digg's turf? Here's some news, you don't jump from a niche to another, however close, cause in this case you'd alienate more than you would attract.

I'm not attempting to argue about your sense of humour (or lack thereof), but rather I am arguing that your accusation of bad taste and misleading statements are incorrect. I have no desire to elucidate anyones sense of humour, ever.
