Falun Gong Protest in Tel Aviv

My friend told me that Falun Gongists are protesting from 6.00pm to 8.00pm tonight outside the Chinese Embassy in Tel Aviv. Then I think it's just so timely for me to say a word or two on Falun Gong. By the way, the religious leader of Falun Gong was from my hometown Changchun. When he was still a worker, my dad actually met him for once. It's funny to think about it.

OK, first of all, I need to say that I fully respect the religious freedom of Falun Gong so much the same as I respect Flying Spaghetti Monster and it's great to see the FSM's oriental counterpart born in China (not in South Korea, since South Korean anthropologists spend most of them time finding evidence that every Chinese has Korean ancestor...well I don't.)

Secondly, I love to read their Chinese newspapers, Da Ji Yuan, when I was in NYC, in Washington DC, and in London. Every time I feel life sucks and boring I will get one copy for free in Chinatown. In the Chinese version of Da Ji Yuan you'll find all kinds of jokes. My favorite ones are "young Marx joined cults in Germany before he became a communist and he also learned dark magic in one of the cult", and "all the Chinese Communist Party members (700,000,000) resigned altogether overnight", etc.

Thirdly, I fully support their canon advocating people not to go to hospital when they feel sick. If you need an open-heart operation, they suggest you to just relax and stay at home, everything will be fine! Think about it, there're so many people in China living in poverty. If they can save the money for an open-heart operation and ride it over, it would be fantastic!

It is so sad that the Chinese government won't allow such a hilarious grassroots religion to exist. Although its existence seems to be an insult for the I.Q. of the Chinese people, you cannot negate the fact that there're some abnormal people living on the planet and although they seem very retard, they still deserve a place and a say, right?

So I would very much like to join their protest for FSM...sorry, for Falun Gong's religious freedom tonight at Tel Aviv. However, it's a bit far away from Jerusalem and I'm really lazy tonight.

Just one small hope for their future development: it will cut the cost if they write the same thing on both their Chinese publications and English publications. The English readers would also like to appreciate the "Marx joined cult" jokes the same as the Chinese readers.

Hope they have a bright future and more followers!
