Ancient Chinese Secret, Huh?

A Chinese cosmetics company has been using skin taken from the bodies of executed convicts to develop beauty products for sale in Europe, a London newspaper reported.
He was doing 10 to 20, but for you? $9.95.
An agent for the company informed customers it is developing collagen for lip and wrinkle treatments from skin taken from prisoners after they had been shot.
*pfew* Because I have moral objections to taking their skin prior to them being shot.
The agent said some of the company‘s products have been exported to Britain, and that the use of skin from condemned convicts was “traditional” and nothing to “make such a big fuss about,“ the Guardian reported.
Mrs. Smantix is right. I don’t know what women go through to look so good.
“A lot of the research is still carried out in the traditional manner using skin from the executed prisoners and aborted fetus.
He suggested that the use of skin and other tissues harvested from executed prisoners was not uncommon. “In China it is considered very normal and I was very shocked that Western countries can make such a big fuss about this,” he said.
Those whacky Western countries. Always making a big fuss over nothing. Nukes in Iran. Child labor laws. Smearing fetus on your face.
We have so much to learn from the ChiComs.

You think the women got it bad? All I wanted was a little help from the “Chinese Hair Growth Miracle Cream” and now I’ve got a tiger penis growing out of my head.

And that’s exactly why the FDA needs to get more involved. I used the exact same cream but now I’ve got a shark fin. And a baby’s foot.
However, my Alzheimer’s is clearing up nicely.

“He was doing 10 to 20, but for you? $9.95.”
When I came to this line, I knew I’d find the Smantix moniker at the bottom.
You may be sick, but you’re my kind of sick!

“Traditional” and “Nothing to make such a fuss about”… Yeah! Traditional just like 5,000+ years of oppression; nothing to make such a big fuss about, Chang!

We need more dead convicts!…
This story isn’t funny at all.
A Chinese cosmetics company has been using skin taken from the bodies of executed convicts to develop beauty products for sale in Europe, a London newspaper reported.
But I laughed out loud at Smantix’s hea…
