BEIJING -- A 17-year-old boy in northeastern China was so disappointed with the looks of a woman he met over the Internet that he hanged himself after seeing her face-to-face, state media reported Friday. The unnamed teenager first contacted the woman -- known by her chat moniker "Qunjiaofeiyang", or "Flying Skirt" -- using the popular Chinese online messaging software QQ, Xinhua news agency said. The girl described herself as a beautiful 19-year-old and the pair chatted on the Web for weeks before arranging a December 26 rendezvous in the nearby city of Mudanjiang, in far northeastern Heilongjiang province. The boy arrived to discover the woman far less attractive than advertised and 10 years older than him, Xinhua said. The boy immediately returned home, lost his appetite, and four days later hanged himself from a tree. newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/infotech/view_article.php?article_id=41820 |

Y'know, I can't help but wonder what was going through that boy's head. Seriously, it was just a blind date.

I'm guessing shame runs deep, especially when you've allowed yourself to be tricked like this. I don't know much about Chinese culture, but I wonder if when one is shamed like this, if it's taken harder by them than it would by a similar 17 year old from say.... Florida? |

Am I wrong for finding this funny? Somehow I don't like to joke about some teenager's death... but this news report is just pure black comedy. I had to laugh. No Chyna jokes yet? |

Unless his date was Brian Peppers, what's the need in hanging yourself? That's just pathetic.

I don't think it was because he saw the blind date, though I think it may've been one reason. He may've had some problems originally which is why he killed himself.
Normally when someone kills themself over something stupid, it's not because of that stupid reason. That just happens to be something that set the person off. I think that he felt lied to maybe didn't help what happened with him, and of course we don't know the teen, and he could have had other underlining issues.

I'm guessing is that thorugh the weeks of contact, this guy thought he found his true love. When he saw the real deal, he was devastated. Asians bring the drama!

I feel for the parents but you know this is really funny. It almost seems like it was written as a comedy sketch. it actually reminds me of a joke I saw while I was watching Bugs Bunny. Bugs was trying to get away from this fat ugly girl bunny and she tries to kiss him. So bugs being the quick thinker he is takes out a goldfish from a nearby bowl and she kisses the fish. The fish is so mortified that he pulls out a giant revolver goes inside his little fish castle and you hear a gunshot and bubbles come out of the castle.
