In today's what the fuck file, we find the Chinese company JAG, who when looking to add a truck to their already impressive lineup of counterfeits, decided that the Ford F150 was the design they would like to e̶m̶u̶l̶a̶t̶e̶ copy.
Yes, if you look closely you'll see that the blue oval doesn't make mention of our beloved American brand but rather China's ironically named JAG.

Yes, this isn't just mere flattery. This is a flat out copy and they copied just about everything but the only thing worth copying: the power train. This bad boy is going to be powered by a 108hp diesel.
How does this happen? What. The. Fuck? I mean I remember years ago there was this bad ass site called allofmp3.com. It charged you pennies per song and would encode each one the fly in any format you wanted at any bitrate you wanted. It was awesome. Then Russia wants to join the World Trade Organization and the US strong arms them into shutting down this site at the behest of US labels. Ultimately they were sued, taken to court and acquitted of all charges.
That's a music site. It's songs, intangible items. This is a blatant, piece by piece rip off of an American vehicle that is no doubt built like a tin can and possesses limitless ability to tarnish Ford's reputation and it's looked upon like it's no big deal. "Oh those wacky Chinese!"
You can look at third world countries like Zimbabwe, Nigeria and the likes and say, yeah those are pretty corrupt places but at least they make no effort to hide what they are. They call a spade a spade. China, on the other hand, has to be one of the most corrupt, morally bankrupt countries in the world and because they can make our iPhones for the least money, they go untouched. Sure they poison your children's toys with lead paint, put arsenic in your dog's food, manufacture radioactive toilet paper covers, etc but hey, no big deal. They're China.
Seriously, what the fuck? No wonder we can't compete with this country. They make our fat, greedy asses look like saints.
