Man With Largest Penis, Releases 'It's Too Big,' A Song About His Penis

Posted on 22:25 by Unknown


Finally, Jonah Falcon's penis is solidified in song.
The man famous for his 13.5-inch, record-setting penis released a song, and it's bound to impress even the most hardened of pop fans.
"It's Too Big," released on iTunes and CDbaby.com on April 16, features Falcon's penetrating voice singing about his own member, which was again thrown into the limelight after HuffPost Weird News covered Falcon getting frisked by the TSA.
With lyrics like these, it's clear to see that Falcon -- and his co-pop singer, Adam Barta -- are looking to go big:
"I heard it from all the guys and every single freakin' girl/They wanna try and take a ride on the biggest in the world/But in order to ride the beast it must be unfurled," Falcon sings before the chorus, "Too damn big/It's just too damn big/Your penis too damn big yeah/It's too damn big."
Falcon didn't comment on the girthy tune. His new publicist wants to embargo the package, even though it was already released.
Gina Rodriguez -- a former porn star who has represented such luminaries as "Octomom" Nadya Suleman and reality cast members Alex McCord and Nik Richie -- told HuffPost Weird News, "There will be no interview."
The song can speak for itself. Falcon fans will be excited to know that "It's Too Big," a clear homage to the Pet Shop Boys and anything that can't be measured by a standard ruler, won't be going flaccid any time soon.

5 Beauty Surgeries Gone Terribly Wrong

Posted on 07:44 by Unknown
 The 25 year old woman who discovered her £4,000 breast implant was left hanging OUT of her chest


Lauren Yardley had always dreamed of having a more curvaceous figure. So at 25, and tired of her "boyish" shape, she decided to buy what Mother Nature had not given her. She paid almost £4,000 for a breast implant operation, increasing her A-cup size breasts to DD.


But to her horror, just two months after the surgery, her body started to reject one of the implants. Weeks later, it actually started protruding from her chest and came through the skin. Now the nursery worker wants to warn women of the potential pitfalls of cosmetic surgery.

 The US ex-stripper who nearly died from botched booty implant


American Renee, a former stripper and VIP nightclub hostess in Las Vegas, had wanted a larger butt to maintain her status as one of Sin City's sexiest party girls. Instead, it nearly killed her and brought her unwanted notoriety when the video she put on YouTube showing her bum implant flipping over under her skin got one million views. 

Now the mum-of-four hopes to warn other people of such a risky procedure.





 The woman who had DIY plastic surgery on her face and ended up deformed

You can still see the horrifying effects of botched plastic surgery on a woman who says, "it's a nightmare that doesn't seem to end." However, in the case of the woman we'll call Mary, who asked that her real name not be used to protect her privacy, there is no doctor at fault. She only has herself to blame. 

In search of an inexpensive, do-it yourself version of a silicone injection she had gotten from a doctor to smooth a scar, the Midwestern mother injected her lips and face with silicone she purchased over the Internet. At first she thought she'd hit the beauty jackpot. But within 24 hours those desired results quickly turned into a before and after nightmare. 

The silicone procedure was nothing new to Mary. For nearly $1,000 a plastic surgeon had injected it into her face once before to help fade a scar from an accident. But what he used was medical-grade silicone, and what Mary purchased wasn't medical grade and was labeled as a personal lubricant. Mary acknowledged that she thought it would be alright to inject herself with silicone because she'd seen a doctor do it.


 The woman who managed to lose 125 pounds but had her body destroyed by a bad tummy tuck


Helena Grace could barely believe her luck when she was told she could have a tummy tuck on the NHS. After losing nine stone in just a year, thanks to a gastric bypass (also on the NHS), the 36-year-old nanny from Chesham, Bucks was left with large amounts of unsightly loose skin around her abdomen. 

Helena, who was once 21st 8lb, hoped the procedure – called an apronectomy or mini tummy tuck – would restore her self-confidence. Instead, the operation left her deformed, revolted and despairing every time she looked at her body. 

 The man who died from penis-enhancing injection

A New Jersey woman has been charged with homicide after authorities said she injected silicone into the penis of a man who later died of a blood clot. The 22-year-old victim had been seeking an affordable penis enhancement. 

Kasia Rivera, 34, of East Orange, was arrested on manslaughter charges and unauthorized practice of medicine in the death of Justin Street. Street died the day after he received the injection at Rivera's home. The medical examiner determined the cause of death as silicone embolism as a result of the injection, according to prosecutors.

India’s Dangerous Human-Powered Ferris Wheels

Posted on 10:52 by Unknown

How do you keep the fun going at fairs in a country affected by frequent power cuts and blackouts? Simple, just hire a bunch of workers to dangle from the bars of manual ferris wheels to keep it in motion.
India’s human-powered ferris wheels recently made headlines in Western media after a video of one such contraption at a fun fair in New Delhi went viral on YouTube and various news sharing sites, but the truth is the phenomenon is very common in Asian countries where electricity is unreliable. Some fairs use generators or even car batteries to power ferris wheels, but the simplest and most cost-effective way to keep people entertained is to hire a couple of daredevils to climb a manual ferris wheel and dangle from its metal bars to keep it spinning. The simple installations are made up of a simple metal frame and a few open-air cages, and without a power source they look like non-functional decorations when not in use. But as soon as people climb in the cages and the fearless wallahs start working their magic, you get pretty much the same feeling as you would from a modern ferris wheel.


These zero-emissions rides may be good for the environment, but the same cannot be said about the safety of the riders and spinning wallahs. But then again, India is known for its death-defying stunts. Just take a look at theWell of Death or the cattle stomping ritual.

Baby Sold On Facebook: Grandfather Arrested After Selling Newborn Grandson For $830

Posted on 11:56 by Unknown

A grandfather in India was arrested this week after selling his newborn grandson on Facebook.
Feroz Khan, 47, of Ludhiana city in the northwestern state of Punjab, allegedlykidnapped his daughter Noori’s son from the hospital shortly after he was born on April 3, according to Punjab Newsline. He told Noori that her son had died.
With the help of two temporary employees at the hospital where his daughter gave birth, Khan arranged a deal on Facebook to sell his baby grandson for 45,000 rupees ($830), according to the Agence France-Presse.

The newborn baby was sold to Amit Kumar of New Delhi, according to the Telegraph. Noori filed a police report that her son had been kidnapped.
“We acted upon the complaint of the mother, who alleged that her child was stolen from the nursing home in Ludhiana,” Ishwar Singh, Ludhiana’s Commissioner of Police, told the Telegraph. “After investigations, we found the grandfather of the child had struck a deal with a man in Delhi and had roped-in the nursing staff to smuggle the baby out of the nursing home. We have arrested four people including the grandfather. We have also booked the buyer from Delhi.”
Police found the baby at Facebook buyer Kumar’s Ranjit Nagar home on Tuesday, according to the Hindustan Times. The baby was ill and undergoing treatment at Sir Gangaram Hospital.
“All three people who conspired to sell the child have been arrested and we will be interrogating the businessman who paid the money to buy the baby,” Satish Malhotra, a senior police officer in Ludhiana, told AFP. The three face seven years in jail if convicted for kidnapping.
Punjab Newsline reports that Khan wanted his daughter, who divorced her husband last year, to get an abortion when she became pregnant. His plan to sell the baby on Facebook was apparently part of “a bid to facilitate the second marriage of his daughter,” according to Punjab Newsline.

WTF! This Bike Is Over 14 Feet Tall... WATCH.

Posted on 09:03 by Unknown
A bike is a bike is a bike. Unless the bike is “Stoopid Tall,” a heavily modified 14-and-a-half-foot-tall monstrosity ridden and built by Richie Trimble.

Trimble spoke with LA Streets Blog about his recent adventure riding his bike on the streets of Los Angeles. Trimble recorded the journey for posterity.
I think I’m an adrenaline junky. The whole build up before riding Stoopid Tall is probably my favorite part. The anticipation of what it’s going to be like. I am worried about this hundred pound bike gaining momentum and hurting someone else along the way. It’s a huge risk.

The most terrifying part for Trimble (and for anyone watching the footage) comes when he’s forced to fit under a freeway overpass. Here’s how Trimble described the experience to LA Streets Blog:
That moment was amazing because you see the freeway coming. I could see the top of the cars going by and I had never seen that before. And everyone is cheering for me to touch the bridge. I reach up and high five the bridge. As I go under, I drag my hand along the top and I’m thinking, ‘Wow, I’m probably the only person to have touched this besides the workers that built the overpass.’ And that was pretty chilling, but then I realize that the street I was on was at an incline and the bridge above me was banking, the gap was closing in on me. And all I could think was, ‘Holy s***! What am I going to do if I can’t make it out? How do I wedge myself up against this and still make it out? What do I do?’ I could feel the crowd below me, they all knew what was coming. All eyes on me and this bridge closing down on me. It got to the point where my body, my back was parallel to the ground and I looked at my hand and I had about two inches clearance above my knuckles and then I came out from under the bridge and the whole crowd ROARED! A deafening scream of ‘Holy s***, you made it!’ And I swear, those smiles must have lasted the whole ride. That was the moment for everyone.
You can watch Trimble’s journey below. For those with an aversion to adult language, beware that Trimble lets loose with some profanity when things get particularly hairy.

Lotto Winner Spends $1 Million On Marijuana

Posted on 08:27 by Unknown



Bob Erb may represent definitive proof that potheads don't care much for money.

Erb, a long-time marijuana activist from B.C., won a $25 million Lotto Max jackpotlate last year and has already given much of it away, including $1 million earmarked for the promotion of marijuana legalization.

Erb (yes, he's aware of the fact his name rhymes with herb) told the National Post he has smoked 15 joints per day since the 1970s.

His habit isn't keeping him on the couch though. Erb told the Post he spent well over $100,000 this year to organize events celebrating marijuana's unofficial holiday, 4/20. That spending was evident on Saturday as thousands gathered on Parliament Hill in Ottawa to get high and rally for the legalization of pot.

Legal marijuana isn't the only charitable cause Erb is interested in. The pot activist told the Terrace Standard he's donated roughly $7 million to various causes since winning the lottery, much of that in Terrace where he lives.

But Erb, who ran for the B.C. Marijuana Party in 2001, still clearly considers marijuana activism to be his most important endeavor.

"Prohibition is the biggest social injustice of my lifetime," he said to the Post.

Mind-Reading Headphones Play Music Based on Your Mood

Posted on 04:46 by Unknown


Finding the right song to suit your mood can be pretty frustrating, but thanks to the new Mico mind-reading headphones from Japanese company Neurowear, you won’t have to scroll through your playlist anymore. They’ll just scan your brain and play the perfect song.

The Mico mind-reading system is made up of two parts: a pair of bulky headphones and an iPhone app. The headphones come with a forehead sensor that analyzes the user’s brainwaves to detect his mood, then connects to the Mico database via the iPhone application and selects the song that best fits his current state, from a number of neuro-tagged tunes.

If your mood changes, and you feel the song isn’t appropriate anymore, all you have to do is shake the phone to clear collected data and have the sensor scan your brain again. Neurowear’s revolutionary headphones also come with built-in LED indicators that display your mood through icons to everyone around you. Right now, they have an exclamation mark for when you’re focused, a “zzz” sign for when you’re feeling drowsy, and a cross icon for when you’re stressed.

The Mico mind-reading system is still in its prototype stage, but Neurowear hopes to develop a market-ready product “in the near future”. They currently have just 100 songs in their music database, but according toEngadget, they are considering the possibility of partnering up with services like Spotify, for a more diverse list of tunes. Hopefully, they can also do something about the design, because right now the headphones look huge.

If the name Neurowear and this brainwave-reading technology sounds familiar, that’s because they’re the same company that brought us the Necomimi brain-controlled cat ears, and the quirky human tails. The Mico uses the same technology, but it’s definitely more mainstream. As unbelievable as this technology might seem, judging by the reactions of those who have tried it, the Mico does exactly what they say it does

Guy Is Suing His Parents for Not Loving Him Enough, Wants $200,000

Posted on 06:43 by Unknown


Bernard Bey, a homeless man from Brooklyn, New York, is suing his parents for not loving him and supporting him enough. He is actually asking for $200,000 in compensation. This is not a joke…
32-year-old Bernard Bey is an aspiring rapper from Brooklyn. He’s also homeless, and blames his parents for his current situation. In a recent interview, he says he ran away from home wen he was just 12 years old, because his family abused him both physically and verbally, and he’s been in and out of the shelter system for the last twelve years. He’s also spent time behind bars.

And since he believes his parents are responsible for everything he’s been through, he’s just filed a lawsuit against them in Brooklyn Court, in which he accuses them of making him feel “unloved and beaten by the world”. In the self-written lawsuit, Bey is asking for $200,000 in damages and demands his family mortgage their brownstone in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, to help him open two franchises “like Domino’s Pizza”.
“I don’t feel like my parents love me, they aren’t supportive, they’re emotionally abusive, verbally abusive,” the 32-year-old said. “We don’t have a family bond that a family should have.” He claims that when he went to his family’s house, they made him wait for up to 45 minutes before letting him in. About his claims, the homeless man says: “Why not start a family business and start securing wealth for ourselves?
Anybody that’s logical is not going to sit on an asset and let it deteriorate and live poor when they don’t have to. Why would you do that? Why would you live off the state and get public assistance and food stamps? Why would you allow your children to live like that?” He claims that the extra $200,000 he’s asking for would go to helping out the whole family.
Bernard’s mother, told reporters things are not like her son described. They are in no position to give him that kind of money, seeing as they are currently living in public housing themselves, and the Brooklyn building he’s asking them to mortgage is only partly owned by them. She also says Bernard hasn’t worked a day in his life and needs to go out and get a job.

5-Month-Old On Life Support After Being Smothered So Parents Could Have Sex?

Posted on 05:06 by Unknown

A 5-month-old is on life support, after parents Rodrigo Rodriguez (pictured left) and Angela Petrov(pictured) allegedly smothered her so that they could have sex, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Police claim that 29-year-old Rodriguez covered the mouth of their crying infant at least three times while 21-year-old Petrov reportedly looked on.
When their daughter allegedly became unconscious, the couple, who were reportedly drinking Hennessy, dumped the baby back in to her playpen. Afterward, Rodriguez and Petrov are said to have returned to their bedroom in order to have sex, with neither parent checking on the child for the rest of the night.
On Friday morning, Petrov allegedly woke at 7 a.m. to prepare a child for school and then returned to bed with Rodriguez.
Petrov reportedly did not reawaken until 11 a.m., when she finally decided to check on the child. Rodriguez and Petrov reportedly found the baby “stiff and unresponsive.” They then reportedly performed CPR and threw water on her face.
The NY Daily News reports on what doctors found after the 5-month-old was taken to the hospital:
Medics said a lack of oxygen had seen her brain swell. She also had a “blown pupil” and a skull fracture from a previous incident.

Amid 'unbelievable feeling of sadness,' Marathon Couple Weds

Posted on 03:39 by Unknown

Newlyweds Kelli Johnston and Robert Watling are hoping their happy union will bring a small bit of inspiration to an otherwise dark day.
The couple tied the knot shortly after finishing the Boston Marathon, which was marred by tragedy.

Wearing their Boston Marathon medals and running-inspired formalwear, the Dallas couple forged ahead with their plans to tie the knot Monday night, just hours after they finished the race and twin explosions rocked the finish line, killing three people and injuring more than 170 others.

The couple, both 38, were married by Johnston’s father at the Boston Public Garden at about 6 p.m., as the finish line area was still in chaos. The wedding, dubbed “A Race to the Altar,” had been planned for some time.
“It is one glimmer of something positive in an enormous tragedy,” Watling told TODAY.com Tuesday.

“In the whole scheme of things, it’s bringing some inspiration to the tragic event, that life does go on and hopefully people will return to the race and it will be bigger and better than ever next year,” Johnston said.
The couple finished the race before the explosions, and were shocked, sad and angry when they learned what had happened. Watling described it as “an unbelievable feeling of sadness.”

Story: 'The good outnumber you': Messages of hope for Boston go viral
They decided to carry on with their wedding.
“We were thinking about alternate plans but we figured it probably was an act of terrorism and we didn’t want that occasion to be taken away from us by some terrorist, so in a sense we consider it an act of defiance,” he said.

“Terrorists want us to live in fear and to alter our normal lives and we didn’t want to do that, said Watling, an Army veteran who oversees a student health center and recreational sports center at Southern Methodist University. “We didn’t want to live in fear.”
The bombings, though, weighed on the couple.
“The whole event was filled with mixed emotions,” said Johnston, a dietitian. “We were trying to celebrate, although our minds were on those that had been affected by this whole thing.”

The gravity of the bombings was still sinking in for the couple on Tuesday, but they knew their anniversary will always be filled with memories, both happy and sad.
“As time goes on, not only will it be one to remember, our wedding and our unity together, but also those that lost their lives and all of those that were injured,” Johnston said. “When I think about my wedding date, I know that will be a part of it.”
Watling, who graduated from Virginia Tech, noted that Tuesday was the six anniversary of the shootings there.

“It’s going to be a joyful day but also a day of remembrance,” he said.
The couple got engaged in October on the day they ran the Chicago Marathon. At that time, Watling had already qualified and been accepted into the Boston Marathon. Johnston’s time was good enough to qualify, and on that day, they decided that if she gained entry into the prestigious Boston event, they would marry afterward.
“As runners, it’s the ultimate marathon,” Watling said of the Boston race.
“It was a happy day although I think for both of us, our heart goes out to everybody who was truly affected by it,” Johnston said.

Photo Of Mystery Man On Roof During Boston Bombings Causes Stir On Twitter

Posted on 03:59 by Unknown


A photo of an unidentified person standing on the rooftop of a Boston building during the Boston Marathon bombings sparked curiosity on Twitter on Monday, as Americans rushed to social media to try and make sense of the tragedy as it unfolded.

College student Dan Lampariello took the photo after the two explosions that rocked the Boston Marathon. Lampariello was about 200 feet from the finish line when the second explosion went off and the ground shook beneath him, he told ABC News.

In the photo, fire and a cloud of smoke can be seen near the finish line where the second bomb went off. In the upper lefthand side of the photo, a man can be seen atop a building nearby the explosion, Yahoo!'s The Lookout notes.

This individual has not been identified and there is no indication that he had anything to do with the incident but the speed with which his image circulated shows just how powerful Twitter is proving to be in the aftermath of the horrifying events in Boston.

The image circulated on Twitter and began trending with the phrase "Boston Marathon roof." Conspiracy theorists wondered why the person did not seem to react to the chaos going on below him.
Talk of the mysterious man on the roof later reached the Boston Police Departmentand authorities are now reportedly investigating the photo, according to Yahoo! News.

Following Monday's tragedy, the Boston Police Department used social media to solicit tips from witnesses who might have useful information on the case and to try to assist victims and their families.

Say What? 84-Year-Old Woman Accused Of Hiring Hit Man To Kill Prosecutor

Posted on 03:31 by Unknown

 An 84-year-old woman jailed on a theft charge is now accused of trying to hire a hit man to kill one Houston-area prosecutor and maim his boss.


Montgomery County District Attorney Brett Ligon (LIG’-ohn) said Monday that Dorothy Canfield(pictured) allegedly sought to have him attacked and his assistant district attorney, Rob Freyer, killed.
Ligon says Canfield faces charges of solicitation of capital murder and solicitation to commit aggravated assault. She was being held in jail in Conroe, 30 miles north of Houston, on a property theft charge.
Ligon says Canfield allegedly wanted the attacks to appear similar to the recent unsolved killings of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland, his wife, and Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse (HA’-see).
Online jail records don’t yet list an attorney for the elderly woman.
UPDATE  Dorothy Canfield (pictured) has quite the rap sheet: After reportedly going to prison for two years in 2009 for felony theft, she was sent to jail yet again for reportedly scheming illegal immigrants out of their money to the tune of $50,000. Canfield reportedly pretended that she would help them fill out Homeland Security forms only to steal the money without fulfilling her end of the deal, according to KHOU. She was later discovered in an undercover sting.

Video: Mom Tosses Baby On Bus To Fight Woman For 'Disrespecting' Her Baby

Posted on 05:44 by Unknown

The babies on the bus go fly-y-ying.
Police in Hartford, Conn., are investigating a video that shows a woman tossing a child aside on the bus before attacking a fellow passenger she claimed "disrespected her in front of her baby."
The incident took place around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Transit general manager David Lee told the Hartford Courant.
In the video, originally uploaded to YouTube, a woman holding a baby on her lap is in a shouting match with another female passenger towards the back of the bus.
"I will thrash you on this bus," the woman can be heard yelling. "Somebody grab my baby."
She later complains, "F*ck that, this b*tch is disrespecting me in front of my baby." Seconds later, she thrusts the child into the arms of a surprised passenger before heading to the back to whale on the other woman.
The altercation began after the other passenger began talking about the woman's child, according to My Fox Boston.
Lee said the bus driver stopped the bus, but the woman fled before he was able to call the cops.
Investigators do not know who uploaded the video of the incident.

Gorilla Photobombs Kids At Australia Zoo

Posted on 07:38 by Unknown

While visiting a zoo in Australia, a pair of sisters got a special treat when a gorilla decided to join them in a f amily photo.


Ella O'Brien, 6, and her 4-year-old sister Bridget were visiting the Werribee Open Range Zoo near Melbourne when a 29-year-old silverback gorilla named Motabareportedly photobombed them.

"It would appear that this gorilla is simply bananas for bananas! Motaba the gorilla was sent into a frenzy at the Werribee Open Range Zoo…after she spotted two young visitors with her favorite snack," said the caption that accompanied this Rex USA photograph.
This, of course, isn't the first time that animals have thrilled us with their photobombing skills. From cats to sloths, there have been plenty of creatures that have induced laughs and smiles thanks to their unexpected photo cameos.

Though it appears that this photobombing gorilla is the real deal, past experience has proven that all photobombing superstars should be taken with a pinch of salt.

What do you think? Is Motaba the latest photobombing queen of the animal kingdom or is this a brilliant use of Photoshop? Tell us below!

Teacher, Quits Job To Focus On Pole Dancing Full Time

Posted on 05:51 by Unknown

Emma Nicholson, 36, a former primary school teacher from Hull, England has resigned to focus on her pole dancing career fulltime.
“When you’re influencing young people, it’s dangerous to stereotype as you can’t teach them there’s only one type of person,” Nicholson said, according to the Sun. “All people are different and you shouldn’t judge.”

Nicholson, who started dancing seven years ago, now runs her own studio where she teaches other women the joys of her profession.
“As soon as I started, I knew I wanted a pole at home,” Nicholson said, according to Metro. “Me and my friends spent many a night drinking a bottle of wine and going on the pole at mine.”
Andrew Katzander, founder of PoleRiders, a group of pole-based performance artists in the U.S., believes that pole dancing is becoming more mainstream and differentiated.
“There’s a lot of dancers that have stayed with the whole high-heels and sexy moves, and others who have moved toward the gymnastic and athletic side of it,” Katzander told The Huffington Post last year. “Others are moving towards the more dance side of it.”

Chinese Gaming Addict Has Spent the Last 6 Years in an Internet Cafe

Posted on 00:00 by Unknown

China’s growing problem with internet and video game addiction is probably best described by the case of Li Meng, a young man who has virtually been living in an Internet cafe for the last six years, leaving only to buy food and take the occasional shower.

According to Chinese media, Li Meng graduated from university six years ago, but unlike most of his peers, who went on to look for jobs, make a name for themselves and start a family, he opted for a life in the fantasy world of online gaming. Ever since he finished school, Li has spent most of his time in one of the many internet cafes in China’s Northeast city of Changchun. The owner of the place says he’s been there for such a long time that he’s basically part of the furniture, and doesn’t even notice his presence anymore. He spends every day and night tucked away in a corner, with an open bag of food by his side, staring at the monitor and mashing the keyboard and mouse buttons, leaving for brief periods of time to catch a bite to eat and take a bath. Reporters who visited the young Chinese gamer at his “workplace” described him as a pale “bespectacled youth that clearly hadn’t been to a hairdresser for a long time”.


This bizarre story first appeared in the Beijing Times, after a reporter from the publication got the tip from a professor of psychology at Jilin University. He informed them there was a young man who had been playing internet games for as long as six years without any communication with the outside world. Apparently, this Professor Ding, visited Li Meng himself, but caught him at a very bad time – just as he had finally reached the Boss on level 12 of his video game. Along with a social psychologist from Renmin University, he tried to tried talking to the young video game addict, but he just kept on playing, like they weren’t even there. ”No matter what was said, he refused to communicate with anyone else,” Ding told the press. Reporters had better luck, as they managed to get a few words out of him, even though his gaze remained glued to the computer screen at all times. Asked how he can afford to pay the cafe’s fees every month, Li told them he makes a living selling custom items and virtual gold to other gamers, earning as much as RMB2,000, of which RMB500 is paid to the Internet cafe. But judging by the diamond-studded joystick Li Meng uses, the owner of the place estimates he makes a lot more from his gaming habit.


Some of the other gamers in the cafe told reporters they feel sorry for Li Meng, seeing him there every single day, even on important holidays like the Spring Festival, or New Year’s Eve. ”He generally comes at night to play the game, gets sleepy during the day and sleeps here. From time to time he will be out to take a bath,” one of them told the Beijing Times. Because he hardly ever speaks, no one knows if even has a family.
