Chinese go mental for nude web chat | The Register

Chinese go mental for nude web chat | The Register: "Pity if you will the poor old Chinese authorities in their fight to stem the tide of internet-provoked social destabilisation. First up, you've got Sister Furong flaunting herself like a two-bit hussy, then there's the thousands of addicts relentlessly gaming themselves into online degeneracy.
But it gets worse. One researcher has found that up to 20,000 Chinese regularly log on to chat rooms completely stark bollock naked - a small percentage of the country's estimated 87 million net users, 'tis true, but more than enough to set Beijing alarm bells ringing.
That, at least, is the conclusion of China Youth Association researcher Liu Gang, who told the Shanghai Daily: 'At first, we thought it was merely a game for a few mentally abnormal people. But as our research continued, we found the problem was much larger than expected.'
Yup, there's actually thousands of mentally abnormal people out there flashing their privates and 'performing provocative poses'. The basis for this shocking statistic is Liu's investigation of '10 site participants, eight of whom were single men aged 25-35 without steady jobs'."
