I think satire is to take a subject and imitate it, accentuating it in such a way so the viewer can see the inconsistencies of the subject. The inconsistencies, which often come across as stupid, are the funny parts. Chinese e'gao is a form of satire. I don’t really agree with your definition of satire.

Your comments always provide a little bit of much-needed fire into this blog. I just wanted to be sure nobody gets the wrong idea about my opinions towards China and Chinese people P.S. my little fragile vulnerable heart was partially broken. Now, thanks to your support, I am in the process of picking up the pieces and putting it all back together again. Will keep you updated...possibly another blog entry. That’s okay Danielle.

That's why i failed to catch your main points. I begin to understand your feelings towards China now and i know that sometimes my views were kinda too extreme. (Or maybe every time?) Won't do that again. At least won't do that again before i fully figure everything out:) Sorry Ben but to be frank, i did not read through all your words carefully because they were really too long and i was just too impatient.
