Chinese knock-off air pollution as deadly as the real thing

Products that boasted “Made in America” have become less reliable over the years. Despite that, China’s “Made in China” industry somehow has a much less reliable name. Lead paint, animal bones and illegal substances? “Made in China.” Not only that, you can get a knock-off of whatever you want in China! Want an iPhone 5? Get a Goophone (Made in China). iPad knock-off? They got that. A Superman figure? They got that, though it might be painted in green with red.

Want to knock-off the air pollution from Mexico City, the area that has regularly been known for being the most heavily polluted place on the planet? Yeah, China makes that, too.

Would it hurt you to give your tree a hug?

Most of us can agree that pollution is bad, yet it might not be worth doing anything about.

You can’t blame people for opposing air quality regulations when respiratory health is on the line. Or the climate that impacts our food supplies. Or the high price of SPF 2000 sunscreen that leaves you looking a payday shy of Sasha Grey.

But did you ever consider that pollution is breaking our hearts, you inhuman monster?

And while we’re talking about broken hearts and your business practices, let your employees go home early.

Did you even call your mother this weekend?

Prick.
