This is just plain weird. I lived in Japan for 14 years and am a beleiver in acupuncture and other traditional medical arts of the Orient. But this is the first time I've ever heard of red spots on the back of ears to certify male virginity.

I don't recall ever having them, before or after.

[w1andsodidwe]

Not even logical. Idiocy.

[thethirddegree]

The only time I will ever see a red dot on my ear is about 30 seconds after the black helicopters land in my yard.

[edpc]

My many years of experience told me that these men did not have sex before.

What's he trying to say? That he has red dots at age 54? If so, it should be his many years of inexperience.

[MozarkDawg]

This is silly — how does the back of the ear *know* that, well, to put it delicately, it’s been inside a woman and not inside the palm?

[VRWCmember]

How many times can one master one’s own domain before the red dots disappear?

[wideawake]

It looks like this individual’s crackpot theory is what drove her to fight for a reexamination of the case - but it also looks like those attorneys who reopened the case and set these men free did so on the grounds of procedural flaws in the conviction, not on imaginary magical folk “medicine.”

[edpc]

She's been red dot free since around 1968.....maybe sooner.

[1_Rain_Drop]

LOL, from now on, every rapist will make sure they have a red dot tattooed behind their ear.

"-- even threatening to light herself on fire "

Now THAT would make good TV.

Line up a bunch of children (known virgins) and look for red spots on the ears

The way to prove what the acupuncturist says is true would be to provide each of the innocent virgins with a lady volunteer.

After they finish having sex inspect the men's ears to see if the small red dot really disappears.

If the red dot does not go away then you have to see if the women weighs more than a duck. If she does weigh more than a duck then she's a witch and therefore the men are virgins.

I don't know about the duck though.

[DustyMoment]

Ha!! This is nothing!! I freed 17 mass murderers by finding Mary’s image in a box of nails I bought at the hardware store!!!

(Criminy, some people will believe ANYTHING!!!)

[Truth is a Weapon]

Off to the store for some red nail polish.

[USMCPOP]

That's odd. I had big red marks after she held onto my ears.

[allmendream]

Traditional acupuncture is no more effective than “sham’ acupuncture in controlled studies.

But here we see what idiocy such ‘traditional’ thinking leads to.

No DNA evidence? No other physical evidence? No testimony?

No, lets look at a mystical mysterious red dot on the ear! That is the REAL answer!

Superstitious nonsense.

[Joe 6-pack]

Speaking of ears, what's black and white and red all over?

[windcliff]

Primitivism.

[Jack Hammer]

On a related note, orders are up four thousand percent at Saigon tattoo parlors for insertion of simple red dots behind the ears.
