Jessey Meng and Toilet Gate
25th Sep. 2006
You just can't make this stuff up. The Mainland Chinese forums are ablaze with indignation that someone would make a joke at their shoddy toilet facilities. From Reuters:
Enraged Chinese Internet surfers have called for a public apology from a Taiwanese model after she poked fun at the mainland's public toilets and their users on a Taiwan chat-show, local media reported Thursday."Many mainland toilets don't have doors and even when they do, most people don't even shut the door!" Meng said.
She regaled the host with a story about a toilet in a Chinese city where she had seen "hundreds of pale bottoms all lined up in a row."
Old news is sometimes good news. Found via my referrer logs.
