On
Sunday I received an e-mail reply from a cyberspace fitness brother from a
different mother. A couple days earlier,
I sent him an e-mail sharing a fitness topic of common interest.
His
reply opened my eyes to what many already know.
Here’s an excerpt of his reply:
“It’s great to hear from you. I'm in Nanjing China for the next month (I manage a team of software engineers here). The link to your blog is not working here due to the Great Firewall of China.”
This is absolutely
terrible!
My Pierini Fitness blog is not
available to hundreds of millions of Chinese middle-aged men who are starving for my guidance.
As ambassador
of all middle-age men around the world, I must rectify this situation. What should I do?
Maybe I’ll travel to
Beijing, China on a humanitarian mission.
I’ll ask for a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping demanding his
immediate involvement in tearing down the Great Firewall of China.
I’ll remind him of
his country’s binge drinking problem that has reached epidemic proportions
among middle-age men and beyond. I’ll
also explain the reason for this epidemic.
Chinese middle-aged
men thirst for my Pierini Fitness blogflections but they’re nowhere to be found
in their cyberspace world.
In a
desperate act to quench their thirst, these poor Chinese men are resorting to alcohol
to fill the void in their lives.
So you better eat your
cyberspace plate clean of my Pierini Fitness blogflections because there are
starving middle-aged men in China.
Pax Domini sit
semper vobiscum
