Thai uniforms too raunchy?

Thai uniforms are "the sexiest," according to Japanese media.

Japanese news sites Rocket News 24 and Livedoor have chosen Thailand as home of "the sexiest uniforms."

The female uniforms in question include an upper figure-hugging shirt and a miniskirt, giving off an office-style vibe. However, the uniforms have created controversy in Thailand, with people saying that the university student uniforms are too raunchy.

Netizens have commented on photos of the uniforms, presenting a range of opinions, including, "At least they're for university students," "At any rate that's too short" and "Those must be difficult to move around in."

Date partner acting site or sex trading site?

More than 10 male and female adults have been arrested for trading sex through a date partner acting Website in Busan amid similar sites under harsh criticism as hotbed of sex trade.

Gijang Police in Busan Wednesday booked a 25-year-old woman with the family name of Seo and another woman without detention for having sex for money with men whom they met on the Website.

Nine other men, including a 44-year-old man, identified as the family name of Park, have also been booked on suspicion of having sex with the two women paying 100,000 won to 150,000 won.

According to the police, Seo chatted with Park and others in a corner of the date partner acting Website for about three months since September last year.
She is suspected of having affairs with Park and other male members of the site at a motel in Beomil-dong, Dong-gu, after sending messages “Let’s have conditional meeting” to the male members.

The male sex buyers are all married citizens in their 30s and 40s living in Busan and all of them are self-employed or office workers, according to the police.

The police are further investigating the case as an additional number of men are presumed to be involved in the sex trade.

Student sent home for being misunderstood aged 24

When year nine pupils at the Petersfield School got this new classmate, they must have wondered what he’d been eating.

Prince Summerfield claimed he was 14 ­ but he has been kicked out over suspicions that he is a decade older, the Daily Mail reported.

Teachers have even labeled the 5ft 8in a ‘child protection risk’ to other pupils.

Head Nigel Poole said: ‘When asked for his date of birth, he said Sept. 24, 1986, before
correcting himself to 1996. I would not be surprised if he was born in 1986 ― he looks closer to 24 than 14. I believe I have been misled.’

Prince, who was born in Malawi, enrolled at the school in Petersfield, Hampshire, for this year’s spring term in an extra large school uniform.

Just 48 hours later he was sent home ­ with a letter to his mother Ennettie explaining that the school feared her son could be a danger to the other pupils.

Staff said they wanted to ensure that Prince really is a teenager to ‘comply with our robust child protection policies.’

Poole said Prince’s parents had been ‘far too quick’ to produce documentary proof of his age ­ as if they expected a challenge.

But the pupil’s mother and stepfather are adamant that Prince is 14.

He has a Malawian birth certificate which shows his birthday as Sept. 24, 1996 ­ but it was only registered on Sept. 8, 2009.

His mother, 30, said: ‘If the school’s claims were true, I would have been five when I had him. I can’t believe he was treated this way.’

His stepfather David, 49, added: ‘We are considering legal action. The letter was unacceptable.’

The school, which is famous for performing arts, assured Prince’s parents that he can return as soon as they can prove his age.

In 1994, there had been a similar affair like this in Scotland where Brandon Lee, 34, had enrolled at Bearsden Academy and fooled teachers who did not remember he had been a pupil there in the 1970s.

Funeral strippers in China

Most would think funerals would be solemn for the dead, but a funeral in China turned into a striptease.

According to a Chinese portal site, 163.com, a photo, titled “Vulgar party at a funeral in Chinese village,” was posted. In the picture, showgirls in indecent clothes were touching, hugging and dancing with the mourners while performing.

As local villagers believe that the dead person is honored more if more people attend the funeral, “funeral striptease” has been secretly held routinely to attract more condolers.

Strippers scraping to make a living after China banned strip shows pervaded into funerals as the family of the dead wanted more mourners.

Chinese officials started cracking down on these shows five years ago, rewarding those who report such funerals.

“The vulgar shows continue to be performed from the perception that there is more honor when more people come to the funerals,” a Chinese media outlet reported. “The government has ordered an end to the practice, making families of the dead report the procedures of the funerals. The practice should end soon.”
