Chinese censors blocked the airing of a CNN International interview that criticized Why are you shocked?
Do you think the Chinese would just let criticism of them 'walk out the door' unchecked?

I am shocked! Shocked, I tell you!
Since your response indicates you do not know what this comment means, I suggest you watch the movie "Casablanca". It will be time well spent, too.

Why are you shocked? Er, I think EternalHope was being sarcastic, _Jim,. From what I can see in my brief stay on FR the 'I am shocked, shocked I tell you' phrase is used to portray sarcasm, irony, ie the opposite of what is written. :)

You really should get out more or at least rent the movie Casablanca. The shocked shocked line is from there and is definitely sarcasm.
