Lo siento. I found the exact skit...you 'll have to help me out I guess

"the uploader has not made this video available
in your country." -- where are you, K??? -- j

You picked up on that? Great memory!
Preserve our natural racehorses?
No, Emily, natural resources.
She was a comedic genius.
Then there was Rosanna Rosannadanna.
Or Baba Wawa.
Really miss her.

Boo hoo... not available here.

I do! She was funny. She was married to Gene Wilder. I just saw him co-hosting a week or two ago on TCM with Robert Osborne. He is still quite a character.

remember Emily Litella (Gilda Radner)? "violins on
television?"

"No, Emily; violence on television."

"Oh. Never mind." -- Gilda was great! -- j

Oh.
Never mind.

Wouldn't it be ironic if China became the beacon of capitalism, and America became a communist state. You'd have people from America fleeing to China, and crossing over their borders illegally.

My university's president and provost came back from a trip to China a couple of years ago where they formed a couple of partnership agreements for their students to come to my university for their last couple of years. When they came back, they invited me to play golf, and the major topic of discussion was how China seemed more capitalistic than America. I was doing most of the listening.

My wife swam in the Rouge as a teen. Contracted a fungus damn near killed her.

Eurrrggh!

is this like the green river in chicago? I drank some
"green river" there, once, and it wasn't bad!!! -- j

I also read the comments: like the one about frogs and locusts.

It is obvious. Since the Chinese population is becoming more capitalistic, their government decided to put on a demonstration in order to emphasis their communist form of government. What better symbolism than turning a river red? Soon you'll see the return of the little red books, red flags, red-eye flights, and an abundance of red fruits and vegetables. Can a rhubarb festival be far off?

Holy Moses!

Didn't the Rouge in Michigan have the same phenomenon from dumping about 70 or so years ago?

Paper plants use all kinds of fun hazmat, and who knows what they're using for the red food coloring? Depending (notice the residents detected a "smell") on what's in that water, I wouldn't eat a fish caught in it. IIRC... Some sulfur compounds combine with Mercury and turn red. Since paper mills use sulfuric acid, well...

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of rivers of China...

Did anyone see a dollar sign?

Okay....there's a food coloring company and a clothing manufacturer (which may work with dies) upstream. I wonder who "dumped".

Then again....it may have been a protest. John Galt may well have walked off the line at the food coloring factory.

Moses... you silly boy.

This is a bad miss marple. There are three manufacturing facilities. One is a food coloring plant.
