I’m not about to make light of problem or illegal gambling, but each of these headlines stuck me as oddly humorous:
Gambling Addicts Prepare For Casino
Tough war against gambling virus
I thought the first story might be an exercise in cynicism, and was surprised that what the editor meant to say was that gambling opponents were gearing up to fight a casino proposal.
I honestly thought the second story would be about some new computer virus embedded in a gaming download. Come to find out it’s just about the National People’s Congress continuing fight against illegal Chinese gambling.
