CNN ^ | 2/17/09

But the contest took a fatal turn when one of the women, eliminated for her looks, drove the man and the four other competitors off a cliff, Chinese media reported. The spurned mistress died and the other passengers were injured, the reports said. Police initially thought the car had plummeted off a mountain road in eastern China on December 6 by accident.

The chinese written character for trouble is a combination of three symbols, the symbol roof with two female symbols underneath it. The chinese guy who had all these girlfriends should have known better.

This is one of those stories that really shouldn’t be funny, but it is. I mean, seriously, what sane individual goes “I’m sorry, honey. It’s not you, it’s me. My tastes have changed....Oh, could you drive us all home? Here’s the keys.”...?

From about.com...

Chinese Characters
trouble:

Chinese Pinyin: ma2 fan2

In the first character, I can see the two women under one roof. In the second character, it looks like one woman has karate kicked the other woman through the wall and the roof is consequently coming down on her head... That's trouble indeed! Wow, Chinese is so easy. ;-)

I might sound wicked, but isn’t this man hoarding valuable resources? I mean, five females, six counting his wife, and now there are millions who will never have wives or even sex for that matter and this man has more females than muslims have wives?
