Hu Jintao awarded doctorate


Skip skoop!

Chinese president Hu Jintao, currently in the UK to teach British PM Tony Blair how to deal with dissident upstart backbenchers, has just been awarded a doctorate by Oxford University.

Henceforth, he shall be referred to as... "DR HU."

In the first episode of a whole new series - Dr Hu and the Cyberpunks - the renegade dictator finds that his stranglehold on the Chinese media is under threat from a new alien species called "the Bloggers": a race of semi-human e-mutants who dare to defy the status quo by offering free and unbiased online news resources to the general public.

However, with the help of his faithful electronic dog, Yahoo.com, Dr Hu manages to capture the ringleader of these criminal free-thinkers, who is duly imprisoned, interrogated and ultimately exterminated, thereby restoring order to the Force.

Another happy ending for Hu...

Meanwhile, don't forget to check out the previous episode in the popular series:

Dr Hu and the Dalais: The time-travelling dictator visits a land that time forgot, and singlehandedly annexes it to his empire, thereby sparing the primitive inhabitants all the bother of sovereignty and self-rule...
