China's Yangtze River Turns Red

redletterdave writes "The Yangtze River, the third longest river in the world traditionally known as the 'golden watercourse,' mysteriously blushed for the first time on Sept. 6. Residents in the surrounding area near the city of Chongqing, where the Yangtze connects to the Jialin River, literally stopped in their tracks when they noticed their once golden river had turned a shocking shade of red. Residents have carefully crept down to the riverbanks for the past few days to save some of the red, tomato juice-like river water in bottles. Early predictions from scientists say the red water was likely a result of pollution, but investigators are still investigating the unknown cause."

When Android was in China's land ... let my cell phones go!
Just trolled so hard they could not stand .. let my cell phones go!
Go down, Samsung, way down in China's land,
tell ol' Jintao to let my cell phones go!

(Nah, it just doesn't quite have the same ring to it)

If it gets to where all the first born children die, there won't be many people left to stop them from leaving in this one-child-only country.

Hopefully Mother Earth has already had The Talk with the river.
