CHINESE REALITY SHOW STRIPS A MAN BARE!

By SARA MCCULLOUGH

BEIJING, China — A judge in Liujiang County, China, became so enraged over recent food contamination scandals that he decided to make an example of one of the convicted co-conspirators.

“Chen Ming must suffer deprivation and public humiliation for his crime,” declared Judge Wang.  “I hereby order that all of his personal possessions be sold at auction.” 

That auction, he further directed, must be broadcast by the local community TV station as an example to others who might be inclined to cheat their fellow citizens.

Police brought cameras and a sexy hostess to the convicted man’s home where, on Who Wants to Lose Face? they auctioned appliances, computers, clothing and furniture.  TV viewers responded with brisk bidding, contributing the equivalent of fifty thousand dollars to a fund to buy food for poor provincial families.

“The only thing they didn’t auction was his childhood panda bear,” a production manager informed Weekly World News.   “He was allowed to keep that for consolation.”
