My Wet Pussy Award – March 2008
Posted by MyLaowai on Monday, March 31, 2008
Well, they all came crawling out of the woodwork this month, didn’t they? Every sympathisers dream came true this month, when the Red Army renewed their campaign to grind the people of Tibet into the dust, and eradicate their culture forever. Of course, it’s merely a continuation of what they’ve been doing since 1950, and it isn’t just the Tibetans they’ve been doing it to either, as the Uighur and Mongolian peoples can attest.
It wasn’t easy finding a Wet Pussy for March ’08, due to the sheer volume of brown-nosed creeps out there who insisted that the rest of the world should “take a step back” and “respect China’s internal affairs”. Bullshit, of course, and the sort of thing that gets you crossed off my Christmas Card list.
In the final analysis, though, this month’s winner won on the basis of something not immediately connected with the ongoing brutality in Tibet (and East Turkestan and Inner Mongolia). He won it mainly because he came out of the sympathiser closet well before the recent events in Tibet.
Ian Morrison is a “senior copy editor with ChinaDaily”, which in and of itself is reason enough to hang him from the nearest tree by his dangly bits. The following article was sent to me by a reader in Shanghai, and is reproduced here for your contempt:
Wet Pussy Award - March '08
Did you read it properly? Note the sentence: “…does democracy exist in China? I would argue that it does. But what someone in Berlin, Baltimore, or Beijing regards as ‘democratic’ may be different.” No shit, Sherlock.
And what about: “…as a proudly independant nation, [China] does not develop ‘models’ for others to copy…” Is that right? Really? Tell that to all the poor sods living in the annexed territories, or in the countries that China unsuccessfully invaded over the last 60 years. It’s a long list of places. Tell that to the Taiwanese or Hong Kongers, for that matter.
This article, incidentally, was printed on the same page as a piece explaining that the world should follow China’s model for development.
And for that fact, alone, Mr Morrison, you win this month’s Wet Pussy Award.

Good choice this month mate. After WW2 in the country where I grew up, scum like that would have been shot as a collaborator.

How blind can you get? The mention of the other political parties is perhaps the most ridiculous part – none of these parties has ever been allowed access to anything resembling real power, and state media and education is dedicated to keeping the communists in power. The PLA isn’t even a national army, but an army directly connected to the communist party as it has been since the days of its founding – how in god’s name is any other party ever going to acheive power through the existing political systems when the army answers directly to the communists? Hell, the majority of higher-level civil servants are communist party members and their positions in the civil service are mirrored by communist party posts – hence the way that offices have so many signs outside them, some are to indicate a party post and others are to indicate their mirror-image civil service post.
A close second in the ridiculous stakes is his mention of the CPPCC – a rubber stamp body which has never once turned down a CCP proposal, the bravest thing they ever did was try to pass a same-sex marriage proposal, something which garnered fewer than a hundred votes out of 3,000.
Seriously, the pure silliness of this article makes all talk of wrong-doing on the part of the fool who wrote it immaterial. He probably thought he was doing some good by suggesting improvements in the current system, but his proposals are so flimsy and vague as to be totally meaningless. What a berk!
