If I Saw This In A Movie, I'd Laugh At It's Absurdity

That there's an RV...

It seems the Chinese have come a long way since Tienanmen Square. Who needs tanks when you have Mobile Execution Chambers? Few things can keep the masses in line like an execution chamber rolling through the streets disguised as Cousin Eddie's RV from Christmas Vacation. It's good to know that when those mundane firing squads just couldn't keep the civil liberties in check anymore, the Chinese got inventive. But hey, I guess when you execute four times as many people each year as the rest of the fucking world (yes, including Texas), Capital Punishment Technology is a booming industry.

But don't worry, they've done this to show that they care. The inventor of these "death vans" says that the move from firing squads to mobile vehicles of mass termination is a step in the right direction for human rights in the Middle Kingdom. To prove this (to only themselves, I imagine), the executions are broadcast live on video streams back to authorities who make sure that everything is done "legally." I think I would be very scared to find out what acts by the Chinese government are considered "illegal." Citizens, sure, talking is basically illegal. But the government? Panda rape is the only thing that comes to mind.

As Sticky Fingers once said, "Buh-buh-buh wait it get's worse." These chariots of fire are also facilitating black market organ sales. Apparently, the whole operation is self-funding because they just turn around and sell the organs after the video feed gets shut off. Talk about having your cake and eating it too. That kind of efficiency is what has the Chinese Nation soaring up into first world status.

I think I can safely promise you that I will never take a ride in a blue and white RV, no matter what country I'm in. In fact, if I ever see something that even resembles this van, I'm running.
