Beijing, from a special correspondent
"What's the big deal?" says Chinese toothpaste manufacturer.
A leading toothpaste manufacturer expressed his bewilderment at US objections to small amounts of poison in toothpaste imported from China.
"How come all of a sudden you are getting upset about a little poison? The risk is minimal and the dentifrice is very cheap! Do the math!" said an industry spokesperson. "Isn't this the kind of reasoning you neoliberal one-world globalization assholes have been pushing? Cost-benefit? In any case, most of the people who've been given this stuff are in jail, so who gives a damn about them, and the others are poor people who buy in discount stores! And since when did you give a f+++ about poor people?"
We would normally expurgate such comments, but why censor such self-serving statements? "They are transparently ill-informed," said a high placed white house official. "We should just shut them up!"
