Glum editors of Shanghai website ShangYeti expressed hopes something funny would happen Monday.
"With all the recent tragedies lately like the Sichuan earthquake, it's not easy to find something to write about," moaned editor Matt Minor, swigging from a cup of what he claimed was "tea," but what freelancers suspected was actually bourbon. "I mean, how can you joke about that, or about the flooding in Guangxi province? This'll be the end of us."
Twiddling his thumbs at his rickety desk, co-editor Dan Bendan agreed, saying, "We've been racking our brains trying to figure out what to do. Sharon Stone jokes are too obvious. Plus any stupid thing we have her say will sound too real to be funny."
"We've been hoping for a new sex scandal, because those are always fun. There's that one about the conductor on the Qinghai-Tibet railway, but come on, he's not even famous. Who cares?" added freelancer Bustis Hayes.
"Where is Edison Chen when you need him?" moaned Minor, before collapsing into what co-workers suggested was a drunken stupor.
