We like to fancy ourselves an enlightened society. But let's be honest: Whenever there's a dubious nugget of news about the latest cra-a-azy fad to come out of the eastern Pacific Rim, otherwise sane websites start frothing at the opportunity to scream about how Asian people are adult-shaped babies who are all 40 seconds from toddling off a nearby cliff.

Seriously, this isn't a new trend. In the past, we at Cracked have pointed out how Western news sites just plain don't give a fuck about publishing bogus articles on Asian people engaging in Muppet shit, from selling canned air to walking pet cabbages. And it's the same stupid formula every time:

Inevitable Daily Mail Article With The Credibility Of A Bowlful Of Talking Farts

Again and again, year after year, we see this phylum of credulity-straining clickbait splayed everywhere, leading one to reasonably assume that everybody who writes for the Internet is in truth the same stoned intern. So what sort of aggressive bullshit has been making the rounds lately?
