Li and Zhou: Ao-Ba-Ma
[Li and Zhou are sitting in their office, busy at work, censoring as usual.]
Li
Ao-Ba-Ma.
Zhou
Ao-Ba-Ma.
Li
Ao-Bi-Ba-Ma.
Zhou
Ao-Ba-Ma.
Li
So what do you think of him?
Zhou
Ao-Ba-Ma?
Li
Ao-Ba-Ma.
Zhou
He’s okay, I guess. I liked Bush more. He wanted to make America strong.
Li
Hmm… I still don’t know how people could have voted for him. America is a strange place.
Zhou
But he’s very fierce, and there are many black people in America.
Li
More than half?
Zhou
I don’t know.
Li
It’s not more than half. Lots of white people voted for him, too.
Zhou
America is a strange place. Did you hear about the American in Yunan?
Li
The drug dealer?
Zhou
Ãeah. Apparently he burned down many buildings to save trees.
Li
America is a strange place.
Zhou
Ao-Ba-Ma.
Li
Ao-Ba-Ma.
Zhou
Did you hear about the miners?
Li
Which ones?
Zhou
Good point. Well, the ones that died that they covered-up.
Li
Oh, yeah, but it was bound to happen. Right before the Olympics.
Zhou
They still shouldn’t have done it.
Li
Did the officials have a choice? I suppose they could have spun it off about how China is responsible.
Zhou
Oh, it is responsible!
Li
You’re right. It is.
Zhou
And we’re becoming more like the West all the time. Did you see the one about the homosexuals?
Li
In America?
Zhou
In China! The report said that there’s over 30 million now!
Li
Wow. But only 30 million? I read somewhere that there are that many in America.
Zhou
Well, America is a strange place.
Li
True. Ao-Ba-Ma?
Zhou
Ao-Ba-Ma.
