Its a 5 Star Grave !
at Saturday 25 August, 2007
Gone were the time of civilizations who stuffed graves with food, gold, clothes etc. Do you think the people of the modern civilized world still do so? These pictures says they do.
I tried googling about the pictures, but couldn't find any additional info about it. Whatever the lady has got all modern amenities in her grave, a flat panel LCD televison, DVD player, make-up sets, and even a bottle of whiskey.

In Pics - Condom Fashion Show in China
at Friday 17 August, 2007
The condom fashion show was held at the 4th China Reproductive Health New Technologies & Products Expo in Beijing July 11, 2007. Some may find it really weird, but the real emphasis of the fashion show was not on style — it was on safe sex.
Condoms of all shapes and sizes were used to make dresses, hats and even lollipops. Models fought through extravagant soap bubble special effects to show off tight-fitting wedding gowns, scaly-looking evening dresses, outrageous bikinis and other garments made entirely of condoms.
The show was organized by China's largest condom manufacturer, Guilin Latex Factory, to promote the use of condoms in the fight against HIV/AIDS. It also marked World Population Day, organized annually by the U.N. Population Fund.
