For anyone who has a soft spot for Chinese oldies like I do

In other news, I've recently started watching 鬼丈夫：

Now there's a tear-jerker for you.  Nicholas Sparks, you ain't got nothin' on this.

I wanted to watch 梅花烙 originally, but the DVD was all scratched up, so in spite of my stubbornness, I had to give up.  Oh well, I'll probably just watch it on YouTube sometime later.

I once saw a segment on 20/20 about the Prison Loaf.  It's this loaf that prisons reserve as a sort of "punishment" for the inmates with the worst behavior issues.  It's nutritionally complete though, so it technically doesn't put the inmates' health at risk. I remember the segment mentioning that even the really tough guys would shrink in fear at the thought of it.  It's a highly controversial loaf, and has even been accused of being cruel and unusual punishment, particularly because the concept of using food as punishment itself is a controversial subject.

Anyway, I started browsing about this loaf online, and found some more information regarding the loaf.

The article talks mostly about what the loaf tastes like.  You can read it if you'd like.  But mostly, I just wanted to point out this reader comment:

"Don’t do the crime if you can’t stomach the slime."

 Teehee.  <3
