A 17-year-old boy in northeastern China was so disappointed with the looks of a woman he met over the Internet that he hanged himself after seeing her face-to-face, state media reported Friday.
The unnamed teenager first contacted the woman -- known by her chat moniker "Qunjiaofeiyang", or "Flying Skirt" -- using the popular Chinese online messaging software QQ, Xinhua news agency said.
The girl described herself as a beautiful 19-year-old and the pair chatted on the Web for weeks before arranging a December 26 rendezvous in the nearby city of Mudanjiang, in far northeastern Heilongjiang province.
The boy arrived to discover the woman far less attractive than advertised and 10 years older than him, Xinhua said.
The boy immediately returned home, lost his appetite, and four days later hanged himself from a tree.
Darwin Award Winner.
Some Asian cultures seem to take life too lightly.
That boy had not yet realized that there are more pretty girls that one.
Mo wait, it must be...
Who hasn't wanted to do that after a blind date?
Happened to me once. I managed to keep my head though. Never been on one again.
Okay, it wasn't that good. Just keep repeating to yourself: "It's only a movie. It's only a movie..."
I think we've all been there.....
Heck, he could have eaten her, and gone back a few hours later, hungry again.
I once seriously contemplated such a desperate act during a blind date. I feel this poor sob's pain.
Wow... she must have been ~really~ ugly. Powerful, mind-killing ugly. Ugly like that needs to be very carefully controlled.
Hopefully the Chinese military won't get hold of this new weapon. We should assemble a strike team to make sure.
This may call for a non-ping.
The boy immediately returned home, lost his appetite, and four days later hanged himself from a tree.
I'd say the kids family has a good case against Helen Thomas.
lol... funny post!!!!
Hey, I think I know her... wait, that was "psycho gold-digging skirt". Never mind.
Considering the rate of female infanticide there are probably a lot less than we in the West would believe.
