THERE’S A DEAD GUY INSIDE YOUR BEAUTIFUL NEW LIPS

An investigation by The Guardian newspaper in the UK has discovered that a Chinese cosmetics company is using the skin of executed prisoners in the production of beauty products for sale in Europe. While British MP’s are expressing various bursts of outrage, a Chinese agent for the company said simply that this is the traditional way of doing things in China so chill out. “In China it is considered very normal and I was very shocked that western countries can make such a big fuss about this,” shrugged the agent. The Chinese are also being accused of harvesting organs and limbs from executed prisoners for transplants to fee-paying foreigners. Amnesty International estimates that 3,400 prisoners were executed last year, and about 6,000 more are currently on death row. (The Guardian)
