Hip college students and grown folks alike are scratching their clover-laden heads wondering who got the idea to walk around with Frances Hodgson Burnett’s Secret Garden sprouting from their tresses. “I think this comes more from Western culture,” one student told the Times. “It’s fun, but I guess it’s also about protecting the environment, to show that you care about nature,” a peddler of the green headgear offered (which is interesting considering the country is one of the biggest polluters of out planet).

But probably the best explanation came from a 24-year-old medical student, who best sums up how the trend caught on: “When I first saw them, I thought, ‘that’s strange,’ but everyone was wearing them… I thought it was fun and entertaining, so I also put one on, too.”

That’s good to know. I thought it was either a caffeine deficiency or I needed new glasses.

I read the title as: "Everyone in China Is Wearing Plastic Pants on Their Heads"

Very disappointed.

Maybe after a good laugh, China will finally settle down to doing things that make sense.

Going to be a while yet before Russia does as much business with China as the USA did.

Me too! I was thinking why are they wearing diaper covers on their heads. But then again some Asians are a bunch of freaks and I am no longer surprised with what they do.


This is the 2nd time in just a few minutes I read something wrong. The other word was sultry and I read it as slutty. Turns out I was actually right to read it that way. Guess my eyes and brain aren’t working together today. lol
