      From: LG-usteen@asdf.fi              ...In the style of Chinese industry.        (anagrams are below the Anna's News Clippings item)              Earlier this year, eastern China's Shuntian Chemical Group mass-mailed       its 1,200 employees to announce a sweeping new policy: the mail       stated that all workers aged 28-58 who are not married by the end of       March must 'write a self-reflection', with those who remain single (or       divorced without remarrying) past 30 June facing compulsory       evaluation. Any failing to 'solve your personal marriage issues' by       the third quarter were promised termination of employment.        Though this edict against 'disloyal and disobedient' lifestyles       meshes with government foci, social-security bureau officials warned       that it contravenes Chinese labour laws. Bosses withdrew it by mass       mail the next day 'because some of the words used were inappropriate'.               Shuntian Chemical Group        = In a couple/matching rush        = agile.human-courtship.cn              A few might still believe this:        "Hitch up!" mail's gonna cure ~ Shuntian Chemical Group              But the letters tell a different story:        Shuntian Chemical Group        = Cite inhuman ghouls' crap        = Ouch. Peculiar things, man!        = Huge anachronistic lump        = Marching couples in.
