Elderly Amish Man Caught on Film With Prostitute, Blackmailed
When a 75-year-old Amish widower slept with a prostitute, he -- we feel certain -- felt pretty bad about it the next morning. As if that guilt weren't enough for the old man, the prostitute and her boyfriend demanded $67,000 from him, claiming that they had filmed the scene with wall-mounted cameras and would upload the recording to the Internet. The pair was later arrested and, we can only imagine, the Amish man abhorred technology more than ever.
Bank Robber Gets Away With the Help of Craiglist
In October, a bank robber -- wearing a safety vest, blue shirt, face mask and goggles -- eluded police with the help of Craiglist. Just outside the bank, while the robbery was in progress, stood a group of men who were responding to a Craiglist day labor opportunity. As the advertisement required, they were all wearing safety vests, blue shirts, face masks and goggles.
Nude New Zealander Arrested After Responding to Fake Sexy Text Message
Late in 2007, a Wellington, New Zealand man received a racy text message from two anonymous "ladies," giving him only an address and a request that he show up naked. Well, he indeed showed up naked... at the home of one appalled, unsuspecting New Zealander. Both the nude Romeo and the sadistic texter were arrested, though neither were prosecuted.
Fake Craiglist Ad Costs Man Most of What He Owns
Last Spring, a post appeared on an Oregon Craigslist board stating that the owner of a specific house was leaving all of his worldly possessions (still in said house) to whoever wanted them. When homeowner Robert Salisbury rushed home -- on a tip from a woman suspicious about the offer of a free horse -- he found his house being ransacked by 30 strangers. We suggest he take that horse and collect some vengeance Clint Eastwood-style.
17-Year-Old Jailed for Stealing Virtual 'Furniture'
When a 17-year-old Dutch boy hacked into several accounts on the Second Life-style site 'Habbo' in 2007, the the law got involved. The boy was discovered to have stolen $5,800 worth of virtual furniture and knick-knacks. Apparently, crime -- whether actual or virtual -- does not pay.
Phishers Going After Your Phones in New 'Vishing' Trend
Over the past year, sneaky spammers have begun to forsake the worn-out territory of e-mail in favor of cell phones' fertile frontier. The result? "Vishing." Get it? Voice mail phishing. It might be more ominous if it didn't sound like a James Bond villain saying, "Wishing."
Burglars Break Into Restaurant, Steal HDTV, Leave Money / Food Behind
Around Halloween of last year, a truckload of thieves drove into -- that's right, into -- a Pennsylvania Mexican restaurant, where they -- apparently uninterested in the cash register -- stole a mid-grade 47-inch HDTV and fled the scene. We've all heard about how this generation is lacking in ambition, but this generation's thieves, too?

Considering China's issues with population explosion, you'd think they'd be thrilled their young people are learning about oral and anal sex!
hahahahahaha
Other than that, since when is censorship in a communist country considered "news?"

Porno is still a bigger industry in China than here in the US by almost twice, despite censorship. Censorship in a Socialist country? Look at your own country, plenty of censorship in our Corpocracy. Open your nationalistic eyes and see the truth.
As for socialism it seems to work fine in the health care system for our politians, ( lifetime health care, on your dime ).

It is a fair trade agreement --- we export cheap porn --- they export cheap products.

Good for China.Now maybe the good old USA will follow suit.Of course,we are a free country,so the idea that we could be communist in our restrictions of porn in our small little world is at best foreign.

That would explain why I couldn't go porn surfing while I was there. Three months with no porn, horrible food and icky weather. I've had better assignments!
Just in case anyone is traveling over there, make sure you do not have any porn CD's with you or in your luggage. If you get caught it is like 1200 US dollars per offense.

its pretty dam sad that a comumnist country can set a higher moral standard to try and stave off the wrong influences that the internet promotes to stop their young and old people from being affected by truly un-civilized behavior of sick and filthy minds . Blind people wake up ,China is becoming the new America of the next millenium and what does America do? Pollute more than any other country on EARTH!

and now if only the US could follow suit...
porn is a horrible thing that exploits women everywhere. the women who participate only do it for money and to achieve a sense of validation. it's really sad and needs to be done away with.
