The "article" is way funnier, cause people who don't understand that it is satire, are not funny, they're either ignorant (no bad thing, not everyone cares about computers) ore they do care and they believe it. They're not funny, they're scary.

Oh yeah, funny.
It has recently been announced that the People's Republic of China has been pioneering the practice of using the organs of the condemned to help the living. For years, with the help of new and innovative execution methods, kidneys, skin, and corneas have successfully been harvested from dead criminals and used to better the lives of those in need. In China, capital punishment is no longer an animal lashing-out against the enemies of society, but a wholesome, constructive act of giving new life.

There is no reason that the United States cannot step up its death penalty convictions to match Chinese levels and achieve the same benefits -- but this won't happen without your help. Write your elected representatives and let them know what you think about the tremendous waste represented by the death penalty as it is used in the United States today. Inform them that you support capital punishment for drug traffickers, a mandatory death penalty for violent criminals, and research on transplant-friendly means of execution.
