Yesterday’s post reminds me: If 41 year-old Hong Kong resident Le Xing were a teenager today, rather than a man and a mind of the old millennium, he would probably be in less pain.

If Xing were a teenager today, he would have been able to find and hook up with anyone, anywhere around the globe sharing his dreams and desires, anytime. But stuck in his old-millennium ways, he went to the local park bench instead.

On the (late) night that his Olympics-hosting nation kicked off the Games, Le Xing tried some games of his own in the local Lan Tian park. After the local police answered the call and found Xing attached to one of the holes in steel bench, it took them 4 hours and several officers to “free willy”. And as if they were not company enough, local media soon joined and documented the rescue. 

Before long, Le Xing made headlines and newscasts across the globe, even overshadowing the eagerly anticipated Olympic Games for 15 microseconds.    

Reportedly in pain a month later, Xing can at least enjoy the impact (and million youtube views) his games rendered. Rumours have it he has also been offered to host a kinky late night TV show in Japan.
