I came across this news story:
Just the voodoo doll aspect is kind of funny, but trendy kids will be kids. Here is the quote that really made me laugh:
the Beijing Industrial and Commercial Management Department confiscated all dolls still on sale in the city and issued strict warnings to toy vendors. "We have been told we will be fined and even imprisoned if we continue to sell voodoo dolls," says Huang Xiaoli, a saleswoman in a toy store in the Xidan Mingzhu Market. "The police are serious," she adds. "This is not like pirated DVDs, where the authorities say 'Do not sell these,' and then look the other way while people sell them.
Siting that example just made me laugh this morning.
