FOF #157 - Psychopaths and Money - 09.21.05
Justin who lives in China writes to us about how some Chinese people are "enchanted wiz things which are fresh outta pussies." He tells us there is a cold cream made out of dried up placenta which Chinese women swear by. (Click on the extended entry to see the lovely letter he wrote)
Listen to todays show where we read some really kicking awesome letters from our listeners, and also talk about how a new British study suggests that psychopaths could be the best financial traders.
Also: Former Pres. Clinton breaks his silence on Pres. Bush's ineptitude, homophobic Kings and Popes, and more follow-up on Joel (the Military man) and the corruption in U.S. Military recruitment tactics.

To da flam~~ing butch Fausto and da fagulous Marc:
I'm a china boy in Nanjing, ya, the 'City of Massacre'. I just wanna say u
guys are 'supa ka-wa-i', that's 'super cool' in japanese:)
i just wanna comment a lil bit on that chinese guy eats dead female fetus
thing, from the 'We hate men' episode - Amanda u go girl!
yeah, chinese people do that shit! and besides that, ok, let me school y'all
on this: some people even eat the fresh popped out placenta, it used to be
believed 2 b a heal-all secret recipe, no shit! for shizzle my nizzle!
It is called 'baby wagon', cuz the baby comes out lyin' on that. Correct me
if I’m wrong cuz I wasn’t shot out from a vagina and I’ve no idea what
happens durin’ labor, Even I got this X-hag tellin’ me all abt these kinda
stuff, guess I’m just too gay to understand those.
Anyway, now thanx to mass production, we have them placentas brought by
hospitals (it was like 70 bucks before, now I don’t know how much, haven’t
been doin’ my market survey on these kinda things lately), dried in the sun,
grinded into powder and made into face crème. In that way u can get all
fabulous up without bein’ a cannibalism. I’m not sayin’ everyone in
china has them, It’s kinda like the pot in Holland, (u guys check out the
‘Royale wiz cheese’ part in Pulp Fiction urselves).
Chinese people are just enchanted wiz things which are fresh outta pussies,
and i wanna add, not just human vaginas. Some chinese people hold that we
got SARS outbreak last year (or the year before last year? i cunt really
recall - i'm doin' Brithish here y'all) is cuz the GuangDong people were
eating the newly born baby rats (speakin' of ways to get rid of rats). and
they gave these transparent-pink, eyes totally shut lil creatures a name: 3
screams. The first scream is when u pick it up wiz a pair of chopsticks, it
goes 'weeee', and the 2nd weeee is u dip it in the vinegar, the last one is
u deep-throat it down (obviously GuangDong people think it's too cruel to
chew them:)
Now that the GuangDon people don't do it no more, we have to get up our fat
asses to school and work, damn!
Oh those good times~
Luv you guys! Eat well and phuck well, kisses...
Slim CD,
Made in China.

Guang Dong (various spellings) is just the Mandarin pronunciation for the province we call Canton ... a large province in Southern China. Hong Kong is administratively a separate place but it's in Guang Dong province.
The Cantonese have a reputation in the rest of China for eating the weirdest things ... stuff that even the rest of the Chinese won't touch..and that's saying something.
-------
The City of Massacre refers to the atrocities committed by the Japanese in Nanjing during the winter of 1937-38. They were among the most horrible war crimes ever committed up to that time and talking about the so-called Rape of Nanjing is like talking about Auschwitz. About 300,000 people were killed in six weeks and over 20,000 rapes were reported. That's just "reported."
You can tell what a major event this is in the Chinese conciousness by the fact that the guy who wrote the email is obviously a young man but the event happened nearly 70 years ago. It's firmly imprinted on the minds of everyone in China.
As for the placenta eating thingie ... yes, it has been used traditionally in Chinese medicine. (BTW, I'm an acupuncturist and I trained in Taiwan.) For terribly poor peasants and people with a limited diet the placenta was an incredibly rich sourch of vital nutrients, not to mention all kinds of hormones and stuff that a weakened mother might need. If you live on the edge of starvation it's too important a source of nutrition to throw away.
I suspect that the ancients started eating placentas when they observed how many animal mothers eat the placenta after they give birth. It's very common in nature. In Chinese medicine the placenta is used to treat extreme debilitation and weakness.
As for the mouse thingie .... eeewww!

Thanks Steve for the geographgy/history lesson. I should of remembered Canton was called Guan Dong since I visited there once, but it was late in the evening when we recorded the show and I got a little confused. I was confusing it with Falung Gong, the Chinese cult. I think I like the idea of a cult that is into weird food items.
Yes, in olden days, women from many differrent cultures often ate the placenta. It probably helped with the healing process. I think in Italy they would cook it! I suppose it tastes like liver.

In case anyone's interested, there's a great book about aforementioned massacre called "The Rape of Nanking" by Iris Chang. Very disturbing but incredibly gripping. It documents (in graphic detail) all kinds of atrocities, and even has a strange subplot about a Nazi coming to the aid of the Chinese.
Not to make light, but sister dealt in some DARK material, and shot herself last year. I believe at the time of her death she was working on a book about the Bataan Death Marches during WWII.
Anyway, it's a must read if you've the stomach for it.

Now my fag-stag (chinese) with his japanese girlfriend and a bunch of other japanese guys he's hangin' out with are listenin' to the show, in Auckland, New Zealand. Them janpanese are diggin' the "super ka wa i" most.
P.S. Suck my dick in Janpanese is "
wa ta xi wa jinjin o si wu".

Erm... on the lighter side, the mice that you were worried might scratch your tummy after eating are just pinkies. They have no teeth or claws since they're just a day or two old. They're more like worms than mice, really. And so fragile -- if you slammed them on the table by their tails, they'd likely rip off and splatter, making them impossible to eat with chopsticks. So I vote for the deep throat technique. I ALWAYS like the deep throat technique.
Oh, and I emailed the Singing Nun song to you guys. Enjoy.

Matthew (the Carny) what we want to know is what kind of sauce they serve those mice with?
