Death Van 2000: China's Rolling Execution Chambers

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

Sixty-eight crimes (many of which are nonviolent) are punishable by death in China. But now, instead of a bullet in the back of the head, for which you are encouraged to open your mouth so your face remains intact (odd, considering the prevailing consensus seems to be that the gov't harvests your workable organs and then cremates the rest), you can enjoy the non-pants-shittiing option of dying in a specially-equipped van by lethal injection! Apparently, though, it helps to be wealthy. You know, we hate to sound sanctimonious — especially when the death penalty is currently legal in our state of residence — but shit like this really just makes us want to vomit.
