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.

Because fake fake oral innuendo costs too much?

If this were Jeopardy, that would be the answer to “Why would someone bother to buy a fake Shake Weight.”

However, such luxuries like a flea market’s equivalent to the wrist-sliding exercise (hers, not yours) machine are, alas, often fleeting. Thousands of knock-offs, imported from China, were discovered at the Savannah, Georgia border (that’s quite a journey they’ve made). No word has been given by the officials at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection regarding the status of the counterfeit fetish exercise equipment, but like most counterfeit fetish exercise equipment, we suspect it’ll be marked with a big stamp stating “RETURN TO SENDER-C.O.D.”
