Today, all the offices in the China Bad Times were silent as workers were busy scratching their heads and wondering what they were doing the moment before. All eyes were on Ukraine and their conflict with Russia, and unfortunately all our employees forgot what they were doing.

“I know we were supposed to be writing a hit piece on this big evil country that was murdering a bunch of people,” said Sam Goodman, a writer for the China Bad Times, “But I can’t seem to remember what the country and the people they killed were called. I’m pretty sure that country was somewhere in the east, but you can never be sure with these things.”

Other employees are also having trouble remembering this far-east menace. “I think I just wrote down Chi- something, but I can’t think of any countries that begin with those letters.” The employee then went back to staring at a page full of country names, hoping futily to find our evil mystery country among its long lists.

All in all, it’s a bad day at the China Bad Times. We hope to be able to figure it out by tomorrow.

EDIT: One of our employees determined that the country in question was China, an obscure eastern country that was apparently committing human rights abuses. Against whom, it remains to be seen.
