Schoolboys Lighting Cigarettes With 100 RMB Cash Bills

by Fauna on March 22, 2010


From Mop:

Another cash “Cigarette Lighting Gate” once again appears on Mop

On March 15 Consumer Rights Day, Mop netizens published another “Cigarette Lighting Gate” topic topics:”Yet another cash ‘Cigarette Lighting Gate’!”

Is it a stunt or a mental problem?

Earlier last year, cash “Cigarette Lighting Gate” had already wildly spread on the internet. On 2010 March 15, Consumer Rights Day, the photographs Mopper netizens posted were a new “Showing Off Wealth Cigarette Lighting Gate”. Seen in this group of photographs are two to three youth, holding cash notes in their hands, frivolously lighting them on fire. Mopper netizens speculated, are these human scum post-80s generation or post-90s generation, with most Mop netizens believing them to be post-90s generation, the Mop netizens expressing strong dislike and criticism towards these youth.

The only reason I picked this up is that photos here could show the future of dollar bills, if dollar value would plumment due to high inflation.

100-dolloar bill could be cheap enough to be used for lighting up a cigarette.

Dude, what happened to their faces?

If that's what burning money does to you, I'm going to stay off it.

You are a kook. This is America! That means we’re FREE, no matter what! And since we’re AMERICA! our money will always be what it is worth! A dollar in 1776 is a dollar in 1863 is a dollar in 1900 is a dollar in 1950 is a dollar in 1980 is a dollar in 2010.

We have people using SCIENCE! to manage the money in a top-down fashion for everyone!

Hey, that would actually be kinda fun - lighting cigars with one dollar bills. Honestly, it’s really not all that much money. People waste several of them every day on Latte’s. I’d rather brew my own cup and light three or fourd bills to light cigars. It would be much more entertaining.

What do you expect when there are 40 million more males than females? “Proper” behavior is not high on the list.

I know this is sarcasm, right?

Seems like a pretty inefficient way to light up.
