Is there some strange alignment of planets that is causing people to get loopy? Perhaps it's some post Valentine's love lunacy, since sex seems to be the common theme. For instance in our first story a Chinese tycoon nearly came to grief after laying off one of his 5 mistresses. Seems that the business man had run into tough times. So he decided that one of the girls had to go. He hired a consultant from a local modeling agency to help him judge, and then invited the ladies to a hotel room for general inspection.
The ladies were to be judged on the usual beauty pageant criterion, perhaps with some discussion about turn ons and pet peeves. The rejected young lady, named Yu, apparently didn't measure up in the beauty segment of the competition. She was completely outclassed by another young woman named Liu, who cleaned up in the drinking portion. Now that was bad news for ms Yu, since It meant that she lost her job with the businessman's company, her rent free apartment, and her allowance of approximately $800 a month.
Not one to take things lying down, well not this anyway, Yu plotted her bloody revenge. Seems that the businessman was foolish enough to invite all th ladies out for the afternoon. Even more recklessly he allowed Yu to drive. With her hands on the wheel,Yu waited until they got to a particularly hazardous strip of roadway, and then veered off track and over a cliff. The business man, and most of his mistresses survived, though it meant a trip to the local hospital. The unfortunate Ms Yu died in the crash. The businessman didn't get away completely unscathed though. When the details of his sordid little arrangement came to light, his wife divorced him, and his surviving mistresses left. On the bight side this will give him more time to concentrate on business!
Now lest you think that such havoc only occurs amongst the Chinese moneyed classes, there is another bizarre tales involving a battle of the sexes which is much closer to home. it seems that an Ohio man named Troy Brisport has an interest in saving fallen women. With that objective in mind he kidnapped a young woman he met while in Detroit. Holding her captive, Brisport handcuffed and gagged his hapless hostage. To further prevent the possibility of escape he unclothed her and dressed her in an adult diaper! Once his reluctant guest was completely secure the really wacky part begins - Brisport began reading the Bible to her!
This forced Bible study went on for about 3 days. Brisport would periodically tire of the Scripture reading, and try and smother his hostage with a blanket. Finally, when Brisport nodded off, the woman managed to get free, at least free enough to make a break for it. That resulted in Brisport's arrest for kidnapping and felonious assault. He's currently being held on $400 000 bail. It will be interesting to see how he tries to talk his way out of this!
Finally some good news. Harrod's owner Mohamed Al Fayed is not being charged with sexual assault. Seems that Al Fayed got into some trouble over what he describes as a misunderstanding. The Harrod's owner got into a spot of bother when he allegedly kissed a 15 year old girl at the upscale dept store last May. The girl apparently didn't take it as a compliment (or the family smelled a chance at a shake down?), and the police got involved. After thorough investigations, the charges were dropped. Prosecutor Rene Barclay explained:
"Having reviewed those statements and other material submitted to us we concluded that, in the light of the conflicting evidence and the absence of sufficiently reliable accounts of crucial events, there was no realistic prospect of conviction."
Al Fayed has denied ever so much as touching the young woman. Well that should have been the end of it except that it isn't. Mohamed Al Fayed is fighting mad. "It cannot be right that an accused person is named before proceedings are brought!" he declared in a condemnation of the Brit media. Fayed is also threatening to fight the good fight so that others will not suffer in such a way. At least he didn't claim that this was some sort of Diana conspiracy related MI5 set up!
Oh yeah and herre's a little piece on Muzzamil Hassan, the guy who recently beheaded his wife in some sort of domestic disagreement.
That was done before his current disgrace/honour killing. Nowadays he isn't the best representative of the American Muslim community. So you see, there's worse on the loose than Chris Brown - though that doesn't excuse him!
