Ok, News10, you are making this WAY too easy for us here at the Sac Rag. Today’s headline “Schwarzenegger Begins Trade Trip in China” (eBish, btw) lets us know that the Governor is in China “pumping” up trade while trying to “buff” up his political image. Ok, ok, I’ll let the bodybuilding puns slide, although I do commend the effort, but the last sentence is just too good to be true.
Schwarzenegger is in China to promote California piracy and encourage Chinese officials to crack down on piracy.
That’s right California, your Governor wants you to get out those blank CDs and DVDs and get to work helping your financially strapped buddies out and reject those cheap Asian knock-offs! Now that’s an initiative I’d back any day of the week!
UPDATE (from CoolDMZ): Well, it’s 12:15 and that link still says “promote California piracy”…
UPDATE 2 (from CoolDMZ): At 12:19 the story was updated but there was no correction, which means it must not be a typo…
UPDATE 3 I know, I know, you all have moved on, but it is a day later and the story has been updated several times and piracy still reigns supreme…nice work, ebish.
Don’t just buy American, steal American too.

What they need to do is get a really hot and popular pirate who’ll get better PR, like Sir Francis Drake did. I nominate Sean Penn.
