Attention-Seeking From China

Nobody likes a show-off. Just look at the superior looks on these faces. As if covering oneself with insects is in any way desirable. Am I the only one who suspects there is something abnormal going on here – who really considers this an acceptable way to spend one’s free time?

According to the British gutter-press, this stunt was pulled as part of a wedding.

Li said: “I have been working with bees for two decades and it was the obvious choice for us for our big day.”

It doesn’t seem all that obvious to me. Does a farmer get married covered in cows or pigs?

His new wife added: “It was an amazing feeling to have a carpet of living bees moving over my body. I could feel them as they moved around — it was amazing. I have always loved bees but this was a totally new experience.”

Forgive me, but these people sound like perverts. They are clearly getting some sort of sexual gratification from having bees move around their body.

This is clearly the Chinese equivalent of the cult of celebrity that permeates modern culture in the West.
