Tom Carter Dec 7, 2007, 5:11am EST i just read about it now. http://www.china.org.cn/english/China/234527.htm too funny! my take on it is the tourists deserved to get shanghaied for being so gullible, and the tour operators deserved getting a beat down for being a buncha crooks. you guys in south china get all the good riots! nothing like that ever happens in dongbei :(

Tom Carter Nov 13, 2007, 10:58pm EST the photos were covered under Public Domain rights, so legally you were not obligated to delete them. of course you couldn't license them for commercial purposes without their consent, though we know that wasn't your intention. kiddie porn and the 'net has made taking innocent pictures of naked children a controversial issue. best just to not go there in western countries, though in developing nations such as here in china it's almost irresistible, nor do parents here mind at all. hope that didn't come out wrong ;)
