The Onion reports that it has been sold to a Chinese conglomerate. Apparently not everyone realized it was a joke. Well, I can relate. With a name like the "Yu Wan Mei Amalgamated Salvage Fisheries and Polymer Injection Group," how was anybody ever going to guess? (Yu Wan Mei, get it? Oh, say it fast two or three times). Cf. link, link.
Alright, children, very funny. But I remember a few years back when the US Attorney at Sacramento conjured up a fake shrimp fishery to create a bribery sting in the State legislature. When the dust settled the USA undertook to get his fake fishery law repealed. But it turned out there were real shrimp fisheries who thought the law a pretty good idea.
So I'm watching to see what happens when the owners of the real Yu Wan Mei Amalgamated Salvage Fisheries and Polymer Injection Group show up saying they don't find it funny at all. Hey, getcher popcorn here folks. Amalgamated with fake fish waste.
