The Christmas/cancer connection

What is it with the Chinese and lead? I think everybody has heard of the toys with lead paint, and that was pretty bad, but now it looks as though they have decided to directly attack Christmas. These lights are for Christmas (whether it says so on the box or not. When else are you going to use little lights?) and, just to be festive, the Chinese added lead to the electrical wires ("coated"? Yeah, with lead). Now everybody knows that the Chinese government is top-heavy with godless Communists but come on, this is a bit much. As everybody knows, Christmas is one of the top three holidays in the west (along with Thanksgiving and Halloween), and to spread lead with the Christmas cheer at this time is just in poor taste.

Anyway... Humouroceros
