As a man, I’m not sure I should be promulgating stories that just demonstrate that men are gullible desperadoes. But I will anyhow.
There is a myth circulating in China that there is a town in Sweden with a population of 25,000 sex-mad lesbians. It is said to have been founded in 1820 in the northern Swedish woods by a wealthy man-hating widow. The town’s female residents became lesbians “because they could not suppress their sexual needs”, according to Chinese media reports.
The Chinese media has embraced the story, with the result that millions of men are crippling the country’s internet providers trying to find out how to get to the town.
Local authorities in Sweden are mystified as to where the myth came from:
“At 25,000 residents, the town would be one of the largest in northern Sweden, and I find it hard to believe that you could keep something like that a secret for more than 150 years.”
One wonders what these Chinese men imagine they will do in a town full of lesbians. Watch?
That story is a cracker! I’ll be emailing that one around work on Monday.
