In the category “utterly fucked up’, let’s hope it’s a hoax” we bring you the following. A 59-year old Chinese man in Sichuan has reportedly died after an eel was inserted into his rectum. The animal gnawed away at his bowels, causing agonising injuries that were eventually fatal.
Doctors were mystified by the abdominal pain, dehydration and anal bleeding. Upon cutting open his innards, they discovered a 50 cm long Asian swamp eel lodged in his rectum. Though dead, the eel had apparently already wrought havoc on his innards, biting its way through his intestines prior to dying. Internal bleeding and infection rapidly set in. Lingering for 10 days in intensive care, he eventually died from the injuries and sepsis.
Now here comes the kicker: Even though this fella reportedly ate a lot of eel prior to being hospitalized, this could not have resulted in such agony. The likely cause was eventually established – passing out after too much booze, his drinking buddies had decided it would be amusing to insert a live eel into this poor man’s ass.
We’re not entirely sure where this story originated, but it appears the Japanese were among the first to report about it. Not entirely unexpected, as they are of course quite familiar with (WARNING: the following link will lead you to the asshole of the internets – no pun intended. Do not click on it unless you have a stomach of steal and you are at home) this subject. Whether true or a hoax by our East Asian neighbors, we wish you a wonderful weekend. Don’t say we didn’t warn you though.
The quarrels between our pan-dems and pro-establishment camp have always been amusing. The latest row between the two is about Commercial Radio Hong Kong selling out to the ass-kissers, at least according to our democracy fans. DAB apparently paid about $500,000 as “sponsorship” to co-host a late Saturday night programme on CRHK, targeting our doped-up teens so that they can be brainwashed into proper commies. The pan-dems and their online bandwagon are of course complaining, since this is what they do best. They argue that CRHK has breached the Broadcasting Authority’s Radio Code of Practice, as it clearly states: “No advertisement of a political nature shall be broad casted except with prior approval of the BA.”
DAB retaliated by pointing out that Democratic Party vice-chairwoman Emily Lau Wai-hing had also paid CRHK $38,400 for spots to encourage people to take part in the upcoming march for universal suffrage. The pan-dems on the other hand argued that Emily Lau’s announcements are apolitical, while DAB’s sponsorship to co-host the programme is definitely political propaganda. Solid argumentation: a march for universal suffrage has indeed nothing to do with politics.
As always, we turn to Apple Daily for an unbiased, no-nonsense perspective. Turns out the whole thing has nothing to do with the BA Code of Practice barring political propaganda: it’s about the difference between $500,000 and $38,400. With Beijing and tycoon backing, DAB could buy all the airtime available if they wanted. And that makes our pan-dems a little jealous. Aww.

An update from Korea today, the southern part to be exact. While the North is busy cooking up more excuses to cover up their recent torpedo attack, the South is focusing on the more important matters. Seoul is about to enact a law to PROTECT the enormous population of (aspiring) actresses. This is in response to a survey that revealed approximately 6 out of 10 have received sexual advances from people who could influence their careers. The answers of 111 actresses and 240 aspiring ones also showed that 45% of them have been forced to drink with “influential figures” and 32% have had experienced unwanted physical contact.
The report included a tragic account from an unnamed actress in her mid-20s, who said she is still suffering from a nightmarish experience with the boss of her agency. She was apparently dragged into a hotel after her boss allowed her to buy expensive clothes and accessories: “A-ni-yo.. I had no idea. I figured his man liked me because I make such good conversation.” Well, there are of course various ways to deal with such situations.
Meet Autom™. Autom is a robot developed by Intuitive Automata, a Hong Kong based technology firm run by Americans. She (yes, it’s a girl) is designed specifically to help you lose weight. Apparently, no two conversations with her are alike and she’s always there to support you and give her honest opinion. For now Autom only speaks English, but a prototype that is fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin is in the works. Video here.
That’s just great. As if being a secondary school student in Hong Kong isn’t tough enough as it is. The government and Christians assume you are a drug addicted prostitute. Tremendous pressure to perform in school. Gadgets and clothes costing you a fucking fortune. And Macau debauchery with grandma’s funeral money is only 1.5 hours away. While you might have been strong and gone through this shit without the emo music, you may still end up being a basket case the rest of your life, as it may very well be that your teacher decides to plunge to her death in front of your eyes.
Yung Yee-man had enough of life yesterday and jumped off the 4th floor of the Jockey Club Government Secondary School in Oxford Road. The police are currently investigating whether her history of psychological illness may have something to do with this tragic event. RIP. And good luck students.
