Crap News: special international edition
Before linking to this captivating and indeed scintillating story, I wish to apologise. It is not funny - I repeat, not funny - to laugh at news reports that have obviously badly suffered in translation from another language. Okay?
Then again: I found myself powerless to resist investigating further when I glimpsed this headline from China: :
The first loving care supermarket, the Loving Carer 'Food King' Supermarket Chain,was launched yesterday morning in Mawangdui,Furong District, Changsha city. This supermarket chain will be .anaged by social vulnerable groups and offer commodities with 'loving care discount price' for the disabled.
I have been asking for a 'loving care discount price' on chocolate from my local corner shop for months, with no luck. Damn.

The only thing unfunny here is your blatently purposeful misreading of plain english.
