The Best of China's Web 2.0: Put your Bid in for a Pair of Breasts
Stories like this make me think of when we hear old people lament about how youth do crazy things. Well, imagine what the oldies in China are saying right now, "youth these days are crazy, auctioning off their breasts to be surgically removed!" Well this story from Shanghaiist of this web 2.0 savvy teeny, Xu Haojia, is no joke, you can watch her home-made vid below. But Shanghaiist reports that that she will literally surgically remove her breasts to the highest bidder.
Thankfully I wasn't the only person thinking WTF HAOJIA? Shanghaiist ponders, "Even more WTF-worthy, however, is Xu's logic. If large breasts are her ticket to stardom (notorious entertain-agent/snake-oil-huckster Song Zude recommended the breast auction as a way to “become famous overnight”), then what will she do once they're gone? Is it even possible to use one person’s discarded breast tissue in another person’s body? And would it be permitted under China's new anti-organ-harvesting laws? Better hope the lucky winner isn't a foreigner..." -- tricia
