(Jinan, China) The People’s Army has equipped Segways for their “Anti-Terrorist Rapid Deployment Force”. During their intensive training the RDF went by name “Judean People’s Front”, name taken from well known and honoured group lead by Mr. Eric “Otto” Idle in the late 70s.
According to Hui Lai Lee,the spokesman of the People’s Army, their target is to catch the terrorists by surprise. “No one in their right mind would expect rapid deployment group to use Segways — one gets around faster and in better cover by foot”, Mr. Lee explained. “It’s the element of surprise and disbelief we’re aiming for. When you see a group like this approaching you the first idea in your mind is not ”shoot!” but ”what?!”. I mean look at them; they don’t even have real sized guns. Our enemies won’t expect a thing”.
When asked if broadcasting the new RDF strategy in widespread international news like AFP, Al Jazeera and CornerBlog will taint the “element of surprise” as even the terrorist read news Mr. Lee pushes away stating that “They still won’t believe it’s true. It’s the disbelief built into all of us that will take over in the event of their attack“.

“Corner Blog – Banned in China”

The modern Great Wall of China is the firewall which filters the web traffic and only allows “approved” and “authentic” content for Chinese surfers.
If you’ve wondered which pages it will block there’s now a solution for that – empirical tests using greatfirewallofchina.org.

I tested if corner.rahina.info is available in China – it is blocked. Just to give out impression how huge impact The Corner Blog has world wide.
