A blogspot blog entitled ‘Sex in Shanghai’ has caused quite an uproar in China. A British teacher who used the online alias Chinabounder posted about his sexual encounters with Shanghai women.
A Sydney newspaper now reports that Chinabounder is not a single individual, but “a group of performance artists who had fabricated its content as an investigation into online vigilante behavior” and that the blog is actually all a hoax.
Attempts to access it now says, “This blog is open to invited readers only.” More can read at ‘Chinese Internet users hunt author of racy blog, but alleged authors claim a hoax.’

Read something about this a few days back, the Chinese were so pissed they were threatening to cut bits off of the author if they found him. No wonder it’s now all a hoax.

the fact that its a hoax makes me think that the british teacher could be even more of a pervert or the people that fabricated the story. kind of like john marc carr. They know someting we don’t. what is it with teachers and perverts?

It’s John Mark Karr, that was accused/then vendicated, not “John Marc Carr”. Do your homework girl!

Wow Rose you’ve been opening my eyes to the world of online hoaxes today.
First I’m peeling myself off the walls of disbelief that people have such copious amounts to invest into these incredibly complex scams.
Secondly, with reference to this particular one some of the comments against these “performance artist” bloggers are down right frightening…
“Chase down the foreign scoundrel on the Internet,” Zhang Jiehai, a professor of psychology
“We need to find this foreign filth and kick him out of China,” Zhang wrote.
“This kind of garbage, chop his head off,” wrote one who signed as “sanipuga.” “Pardon me, but I think these women are also garbage, national scum,” said another, signed “Jiehuo.”
It smacks of ethnic cleansing and over weening Patriotism to me. I don’t know which is more shocking at the moment.
Wow and wow.
