NUance Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Sex Toy Fools Entire Chinese VillageBy Audrey Wozniak | ABC News Blogs – Tue, Jun 19, 2012 The report opens with Ye proclaiming the discovery of the mysterious object, the likes of which "not even an 80-year-old local man has seen." Villagers crouch around the object, floating innocently in a water-filled bucket. "It has an eye and a nose, but we don't know what it is," says a man who was among the drillers who discovered the sex toy. <snip> Describing the object's qualities in explicit detail, Ye and the villager determine that it is a type of lingzhi, a shelf fungus of the Ganoderma lucidum species, which according to legend has the ability to give immortality. Asserting that the mushroom is rarely seen because it grows underground, she says, "When the Emperor Qin Shi Huang [the First emperor of China] was on the hunt for the secret to longevity, it is said he discovered this lingzhi was the answer." After the program aired, many viewers immediately recognized the object as a sex toy modeled after female genitalia, and online video of the report gained millions of views overnight. While the video received many comments lauding the station's and villagers' "purity," the day after the program aired the Xi'an news station posted an apology on Sina Weibo, a Chinese blogging website. LINK YOUTUBE lol. Well, sure an 80 year old man probably hasn't seen one of these. Good thing nobody took a bite out of it. Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 I saw this yesterday. It was pretty amazing. Did you recognize that it wasn't a mushroom when you saw it? If so, I'm not sure I know how I feel about that. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Well, I saw it under the headline "This is an anus and vajayjay" so I may have been a bit predisposed. It does look like it could conceivably be misconstrued as some sort of mushroom. But eh...one with what's clearly a vajayjay at the end. How do you feel about that?! Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Let's put it this way. I would be veeery suspicious of a mushroom with a vagina. Or anything with a vagina, for that matter. Other than a woman. Quote Link to comment
