'Voodoo cursing dolls on sale in Shanghai'

voodoodollshanghaichina.jpgWith a title like that, you know it's got to be good. Said the China Daily report:

An eight-centimeter-tall doll sells for more than 40 yuan (US$5) at the store. Yang said an entire set includes 56 dolls, each of which has its own secret force.

So far people have used it to lose weight and help themselves get better grades on exams, primarily by hurting their classmates, i.e. their enemies. Said the girl who wanted to lose weight:

"No matter if it actually works or not, the moment I see the fat doll I would lose my appetite. I believe this will help me lose weight. That's enough," Sun said.

"I can't guarantee the effects of voodoo dolls," said Yang. "But if you believe in it, it will surely bring some changes to your life."

If there's one that will un-filter Google.cn (by weakening the internet police and top management at Google), or one that can overthrow improve the government, raise George W. Bush's IQ twenty points, and get us laid with Li Bingbing, hell, we'll buy two sets!
