BEIJING, CHINA- The 7.8 quake that rocked rural Sichuan province on Monday has already taken nearly 9,000 lives, and officials are now saying that thousands more could die from related injuries in the next few days. According to UN aid workers, these people, most of whom have spent their lives manufacturing super-cheap products for sale at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club, are dying in bulk and piling themselves into computer-indexed shipping crates for maximum efficiency.
Due to a unfortunate data entry error, shipments of palletized corpses will begin arriving at big box retail stores in the U.S. by the end of the week. Further, this incident has caused a bothersome hiccup in the global supply chain, which may lead to a delay in the delivery of vital goods such as pirated DVDs and premium athletic shoes.
