Shanghaiist is No Fun Anymore

By Stan

Say it ain’t so. Please.

Remember that incredibly entertaining (if somewhat morbid) story about a woman who lost a best mistress contest and then drove her lover and his four other mistresses off a cliff? Well, apparently it might have been complete fiction!

Crap. I don’t have much in life to make me smile. All I ask is an outrageous story once in a while. Take that away from me, and you will start to see a very negative, dark and bitter blog. Well . . . more so.

On the other hand, although it is in no way comparable, this tidbit is amusing:

More people than ever are getting plastic surgery in Shanghai, according to Channel News Asia. One beauty enhancing outlet, Shanghai Time Plastic Surgery Hospital, reported that it had seen an increase in patients by 45% year-on-year. The most frequently requested procedures include rhinoplasty, face reshaping, breast augmentation and - that favorite of Asia - double eyelid surgery. Men are also increasingly becoming surgery regulars, usually asking for “hair and mustache implants.”

I would really like to know more about mustache implants, though. I hope these guys are not shaving their nether regions and applying it on their upper lips with glue. (I think I saw that on South Park a few years ago, come to think of it.)
