TJ, can't you find some better taunts? ;) The Penn State football coach story is getting very heavy media play, including several mentions in the FT. The story of the starved teen girl in Ohio is sad, but lacks the dramatic video that propelled the Chinese story you allude to.

A grim tale of child abuse in China THE WORLD A woman is to undergo surgery to remove some of the 26 needles stuck in her body when she was an infant. September 11, 2007\|Ching-Ching Ni \| Times Staff Writer BEIJING — Her relatives had always described her as a colicky baby. When Luo Cuifen was 26, she found out a likely reason why. Doctors discovered more than two dozen sewing needles embedded in her body, some piercing her vital organs. X-rays of her head and torso look like a dart board. Doctors believe the needles were driven into her body when Luo was days old. One in the top of her skull could only have been stuck there when the bones in her head were still soft. "They wanted her dead," said Qu Rei, a spokesman at Richland International Hospital in Yunnan province, which has agreed to surgically remove the first six of the 26 needles in her body today. "The fact she is still alive is a medical miracle." articles.latimes.com .......... we must determine whether or not the pop culture has merit.
