What? No Cover-Up?

With great expectations for the greatest cover-ups ever, I read a news article today about the many entrepreneurs in China who are adding inert or dangerous fillers to animal and fish feed and to food for human consumption. Babies, cats, and dogs so far are known to have died.

I was just crushed. Not once in that very long article was there one cover-up. Not one. Imagine! Doing this much harm and not having a ready-made cover-up.

These perpetrators of dastardly deeds are amateurs. Any self-respecting shit or bastard would have had three public relations firms and seven media consultants working dawn to dusk to come up with cover-ups such as "I can't recall" or "Someone else put it there," or "They had pre-existing conditions." "Even mistakes were made" and "I didn't do it" are better than nothing. How about, "I knew nothing about it?"

The writer thought perhaps the entrepreneurs had greed as their motivation. Hm.

A more in-depth article would have interviewed the entrepreneurs if for no other reason than to add to the world's repertoire of cover-ups.

The article was woefully inadequate without cover-ups.
