Got this hot bit of news from military.com...
"China blames U.S. for second mid-air collision!!!!"
Beijing (Reuters) - Chinese officials have stated they are holding the United States,” Fully responsible" for today’s mid air collision, involving several Chinese aircraft and one American aircraft. This comes just weeks after a similar incident involving a U.S. spy plane.
Officials have stated that at approximately 8:46am, GMT, a squadron of F-8 fighters collided with the American Goodyear Blimp. The crash left over a dozen Chinese fighters downed and the blimps electronic billboard damaged. Sources say the blimp's scrolling marquee had been advertising 7-up, leaving the line "UP YOURS" in view.
A Chinese pilot who witnessed the collision involving his squadron, nicknamed "Panda Rash", told China's news agency that he saw the American blimp dive out of the clouds and onto wingman Thee Sum Yun Dork's f-8 jet.
"I told Thee Dork his tail was all broken. Keep it straight. Keep it straight." said the pilot "He could not shake the American foreign-devil" The blimp reportedly then veered left then right, taking out the rest of the squadron.
Pilot Chawp Sueey told Xinhua the American blimp " Fully responsible for the incident" repeating the language Beijing had used in the earlier incident.
China blames this new accident on the Goodyear blimp, saying it rammed the supersonic fighters, and has demanded an apology.
Officials from the Goodyear Company have said it is unlikely that the slow propeller driven blimp could turn inside and ram a dozen nimble fighters unless the Chinese were testing chimp pilots.
"The direct cause of the collision was that the American blimp made a sudden big move toward the Chinese planes, making it impossible for the Chinese planes to get out of the way. The savage act of American blimps colliding with Chinese planes while conducting spying missions at sporting events makes us indignant" Chawp Sueey was quoted as saying.
Chinese officials are calling for an apology from the United States and enough Goodyear tires to replace the Firestone's that experienced spontaneous combustion last year.

I don't believe it. It sounds like another example showing a right-wing biased media.
This country's going to hell in a hand basket.

Hmmm, the joke seems just a bit racist.
It also rehashes the same stuff we've been hearing for weeks.
Combined, it isn't particularly funny.

Funny story (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Serious question here for Karnak. Am I racist if I EXTREMELY dislike commnunist? I don't hate them, but I admit I'm 80% of the way, but it's still just extreem dislike (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Udie,
Nope. I myself have an intense dislike for the Chinese government. I won't buy anything made in China and would love to see our country cut ties (not diplomatic, but everything else) with China.
Things like this made it racist IMO:
Panda Rash
Thee Sum Yun Dork
American foreign-devil
unless the Chinese were testing chimp pilots
Chawp Sueey
None of those things are attacking the Chinese government, they are attacking Chinese people in general.
IMO the joke would have been much better if real Chinese names had been used and if Chinese pilots had not been compared to chimpanzees.
The joke was the outrageous accusations of the government and I see nothing wrong with that part of it. After all,the Chinese government just recently made claims that, while an order of magnitude or two less ridicules, were extremely silly.
