Oh, silly girl

I woke up this morning to a story about 'compensated dating' on CNN. I'd venture to say the agreed upon term for this sort of thing is prostitution, but ok, whatever; maybe the columnist decided to split hairs for the sake of the subject's very compact sense of dignity. Then again, it seems whores were quite dignified in the 1800s with their fancy hats and petticoats, so maybe instead of an intervention, maybe these broads need a time machine.

Just sayin'.

So, the jist of the article is that young female teens in Hong Kong want money to buy an assorted number of non-essentials -- clothes, make-up, new shiny cell phones that make neat noises. Their parents impose limits and either can't or won't purchase such things for them (imagine such a horrendous life!), so these little tarts turn to the Big Bad Interweb, and chat rooms, to find men to 'date.' They find a man, arrange a price, time and place, and there you have it -- and mysteriously, the dinner and conversation portion of the evening nearly always is replaced by naked sex. But as I said, whatever.

Let's skip over the discussion of moral implications and societal consequences to get to the meat of the topic -- the horror story. According to CNN, none of these girls even bat an eyelash at their hooker ways, despite the story of a 16-year old who was murdered by a 24-year old 'date,' who likely wouldn't have passed her parents' radar had she been looking to actually date him, rather than support a ravenous desire for Cover Girl True Blend.

My initial thought: she dissed Happy Valley in favor of TSW Pegasus and that sent him into an uncontrollable rage.

Whatever the case might have been, here's what -- no pun intended -- kills me.  The man, Ting Kai-Tai, killed the teenager, dismembered her body and flushed the remains down the toilet. 

He flushed her down the toilet?! Are you fucking kidding me? I've got to flush twice -- if not three times -- after I have Mexican for lunch, but this guy can flush a friggin' body and it's all gravy? What in hell sort of installations do they have in Hong Kong? I've heard of Asians being far more industrious than the United States, but this is ridiculous.
