In 1994, the Chinese newspaper Guangxi Daily reported that a man, Wang Tianbao from Henan province was fined 3,000 yuan after his wife gave birth to her third child (a son, after two daughters), in violation of China's "one child per couple" population control laws. The father supposedly made a joke about the high cost of finally having a male heir, saying: "A 3,000 yuan fine just for this little penis! We should just cut it off." This prompted the two daughters, ages 6 and 7, to sliced off the infant boy's penis with a paring knife and leave him to bleed to death while their father was away tending the fields. Upon his return, the father flew into a rage and clubbed the two girls to death with a shovel, then committed suicide by drinking insecticide. His wife "went into hysterics upon seeing the calamity, running naked through the streets screaming the names of her dead husband and children.This incident was also reported by the San Jose Mercury News of California, and the Orlando Sentinel of Florida.

Haha, funny, it's my favorite one. I'm much more into their recent stuff than their early noise rock stuff so my favorite albums are pretty much 23, Penny Sparkle and Misery Is a Butterfly.

what! 23 is pretty solid!


but man......I don't think I like the direction they're taking. I listened to Penny Sparkle only once so far and didn't really blow me away upon first listen....

[EVOLghost]

oh yeah and must spread rep to FoxBen. thanks for the setlist!

Misery is a Butterfly is great, 23 just bores the shit out of me. Which is odd, since I love every LP before it. I haven't given Penny Sparkle a full listen yet though.
