The Way Movies Were Meant to be Seen, in Chinese?

I caught the very end of a movie, the credits rolling across the screen. At the bottom was a banner, “The way movies were meant to be seen, widescreen Wednesday”. That came across as funny; the credits from the last movie continued to roll by, all Chinese characters for some martial arts import. I have no idea if it was rated G or R; who knows what profanity may have been embedded within those funky looking blocks of squiggles.

I think this has something to do with the immigration bill up before congress. All those Chinese are swimming across the Pacific, taking away jobs from Americans, getting free acupuncture at our clinics and putting extra starch in our shirts to make us feel uncomfortable. Don’t even bring up their driving habits; the only folks on the road with both hands on the steering wheel going 3 miles per hour under the posted speed limit, Geeze Louise! These folks have to be in cahoots with the Mexicans; why else would it be called Juan’s tan soup? Egg rolls my Aunt Tilly; those are over cooked burritos. They have the Great Wall, why can’t we build one too?
