55% of Netizens would break the law for Lu Jiali

liujiali.jpg If Helen of Troy could be said to have a face that launched a thousand ships, we guess Lu Jiali over here had the sex appeal to launch a thousand corruption schemes. Who is she? The alleged mistress of an entire slew of Shanghai officials currently embroiled in the city's social security scandal. Rumored to be in her little black book:

  • The director of the Shanghai Nuclear Power Company
  • The chairman of a major Shanghai investment company
  • The former director of the Shanghai Social Security Administration
  • The ex-Shanghai City Government Office deputy secretary-general (later, Baoshan District's mayor)
  • The current Shanghai City Party deputy secretary-general
  • The Shanghai Electricity Company chairman
  • The State Statistics Bureau director

Girl (allegedly) gets around! While that's interesting though, what's even more so is that most netizens' reactions to this have been along the lines of "Heck, who could blame 'em? She's really hot."

From a poll translated by ESWN, 55% of people would break the law for the sake of Lu Jiali if they were a government official. 30% said they wouldn't and 15% weren't sure. Maybe they need a couple more pictures of her to make up their mind?
