Beijing air is "crazy bad".

Oh, I didn't say that. The US Embassy did!
Pollution in Beijing was so bad Friday the U.S. Embassy, which has been independently monitoring air quality, ran out of conventional adjectives to describe it, at one point saying it was "crazy bad."
I don't know, there's something about situations like this, where political or bureaucratic organizations speak more... well, more informally, that really makes me laugh. It's not at all the same as being unable to spell, punctuate, or capitalize.
