Proving that Chinas fight against pollution has moved decisively into the realm of parody, bags containing mountain air were shipped into one particularly smog-addled city over the weekend.
No, it wasnt a scene from Spaceballs. According to the organizer, a Henan-based travel company, 20 bright blue bags of air were shipped to Zhengzhou, capital of central Chinas Henan province, as a special treat for residents. The air originated from Laojun Mountain, some 120 miles away from the city, and was brought as part of a promotional gimmick to show oxygen-deprived city residents what theyre missing.

Look out for Spaceballs.
We could corner this market. Once we unload all their plastic junk we get from them, the shipping containers we ship back are just filled with air anyway.
But they used toxic Chinese sourced plastic so the people breathing it get a faster killing form of cancer now...
I have an old can of Florida sunshine. No expiration date.
Consolidate California Fujiama Smog bags!
I’d like a pack of Marlboros and a bag of air please!
Reminds me of an old fools errand Army cooks used to pull on noobie grunts on KP: “Run over to Charlie Company mess sergeant and get me a bucket of steam”.
ahahahaha Thank you.
there’s a ground floor bidness opportunity there for sure.
take care not to light up too close to the air bag..
is it frozen?
Now that’s a great idea for the EPA and the gas passing cows, they can tape a plastic bag on their butts and capture the gas and sell it on ebay.
We’re booked on an asian cruise with a 2 day end stop&stay in Beijing.. I may see if I can qualify for an air tank and bring a couple with..
Indoor pluming! It's gonna be big.
On a more serious side, Oxygen Bars. Their time has come!
I thought China doesn’t officially have a smog problem??
During the Beijing Olympics, officials said that the haze hanging over the city was mist or fog, not pollution, not smog.
Officially anyway, a totalitarian government can deny having any particular problem which the rest of us see with our own eyes.
and theres not a smidgeon of a hint of corruption...in the IRS..
different country ....same smog
Give the guy a break!
Bagfulls of skinny, bovine flatulence.
