** IMAO Breaking News *** Must Credit IMAO Now ***
In a move that plays to its classic strengths in working with mainland China, Microsoft today announced it will help with the censoring of all ads for Chinese car manufacturer, Geely, which plans to sell cars to the US.
When asked about this new deal, Bil Gates offered, “We feel that consumers will appreciate the consistency. We have strong experience in censoring blogs and that should let us close all the back doors.” Mr. Gates was pressed for time because his team is working hard to close a loophole that allows any hacker to completely destroy every single Window’s system every made. In fact, recent reports suggest that the most secure window systems are those currently made out of glass made by Microsoft.
The Chinese are excited to offer cars to consumers who are not living in China. Said a Geely spokesman, “Despite China’s massive economic success, our company (which is privately owned) thought we could make more money if we sold cars to people who had money sold cars overseas.” Chinese cars have not fared well in the outside marketplace. Recently, one Chinese SUV received a very poor Excellent rating in European crash tests. Although it did poorly in tests where it had to crash into a brick wall, it performed much better when being crashed into a wall of whipped cream an even stronger brick wall.
IMAO will make every effort to make fun of keep you up to date on this development.
Does it have a steering wheel or do you have to use chopsticks?
Didn’t Chuck Berry have a song titled like the name of that company….my jingaling…or something like that.
I read the news release and they list production for cars, engines and gearboxes separately. Will the engines and gearboxes be sold as aftermarket accessories?
An interesting marketing strategy, and one which might work in an area with few or no driveable roads, thus negating any need for an engine. If you don’t need an engine, why have an expensive accessory like a gearbox?
It might behoove the Chinese to come here and look around a bit. Americans are accustomed to driving on paved roads,and are pretty well used to buying cars with engines and gearboxes installed and figured into the sticker price.
Got road?

A friend took a Chinese flight within China, and after takeoff, asked the flight attendant why she didn’t give a safety briefing on crash procedures. The attendant laughed and said, “Crash procedures?!? We crash, you die!”
Nice to know you don’t have to fly the Chinese skies to experience the way they look at human life. Or be a farmer around Hong Kong, or whatever else lets you experience Chinese human rights firsthand. You can just buy a car, file a waver on your life insurance, put on your helmet, and hit the road.
Geely – marginally warmer than a motorcycle.
Was there censoring on this post?
I looked at the pic from the one and wow, that is one ugly car. I’m pretty sure it was ugly before it crashed into the wall, too.
