One of the biggest double standards that still exists today is virginity. Women are expected to keep theirs and men are expected to lose it.
China has been creating this artificial hymen (pictured above) for quite some time, but it was its advertising in the Middle East that caused an uproar.
The “hymen”: a 5×7cm folded piece of plastic – of albumin, – covered on one side by dark red ink. Placed in the vagina before sex, the plastic hardens slightly, and rips upon intercourse. A few drops of “blood” will stain the sheets, preserving the woman’s, her family’s, or society’s “honour”.
EVERY year since 1901 the Nobel Prize has been awarded for achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and for peace.

As the job market gets tougher and tougher due to the struggling economy people are taking drastic measures to find work.
Job seekers in China have decided to try out plastic surgery to look youthful and compete with the latest graduates.
According to the National Post:
“It sounds like a drastic solution, but in a country where 6.1 million new college, university and vocational school graduates are just coming onto an already depressed job market, these qualify as drastic times. Young job applicants and entry-level workers are looking for whatever kind of leg up they can get.”

China on Tuesday demanded that television news channel CNN apologize after one of its commentators said the Chinese were “goons” and that their products were “junk”.
Jack Cafferty made the comments earlier this month on CNN’s political program, The Situation Room.
“We are shocked at and strongly condemn the evil attack by the CNN anchor on the Chinese people,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu told a regular news conference.
“Cafferty used the microphone in his hand to slander China and the Chinese people, and seriously violated reporting ethics.”
Cafferty said the United States imported Chinese-made “junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food”, adding: “They’re basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they’ve been for the last 50 years,” according to a copy of his comments carried on YouTube.

The U.S. military mistakenly shipped four fuses for nuclear missiles to Taiwan in 2006 and never caught the error, the Pentagon said on Tuesday, acknowledging an incident likely to rile China.
The military was supposed to ship helicopter batteries to Taiwan, but instead sent fuses used as part of the trigger mechanism on Minuteman missiles. Taiwan returned the parts to U.S. custody last week.
China is about to take over the spotlight.
The world’s most populous nation will mark the next 12 months with a coming-of-age party that will confirm its transformation in three decades from one of the poorest countries of the 20th century into the globe’s third-largest economy, its hungriest (and most polluting) consumer and the engine room of economic growth.
Once regarded at best as a sporting also-ran, China is widely tipped to top the medals table in the Beijing Olympics in August, an event in which the country’s leadership is investing huge importance and prestige.

From Conde Nast’s latest magazine, Portfolio:
I’m in the U.S. Airways Shuttle Terminal at La Guardia. It’s a late night in October, and I run into a senior economic official from the Clinton administration. We catch up on friends, and I tell him that I’m working on a column about the U.S. economic embargo against Cuba and what a disaster it’s been—for Cuba and for the United States. The official says this to me: “If someone had told supporters of the embargo that after nearly 50 years, the Soviet Union would be gone; Communism would be gone from Eastern Europe; China, while Communist-controlled, would have 300 McDonald’s and thriving capitalism; that Cuba would be one of the only Marxist governments left; and, oh, that Castro would still be alive, they might have thought differently.”
