Why Buddhist Monks Should Avoid Sacramento

[minsue]

Or maybe they should just avoid politicians? Either way, there is something so very wrong with this picture :

Former Assembly Speaker Herb Wesson, D-Culver City, kicks Zhang Xiao Ju betweent the legs during a demonstration performed by Buddhist monks at the Capitol in Sacramento, Calif., Monday, March 22, 2004. In their first visit to the United States, a group of Shaolin martial artists from SongShan, China demonstrated acrobatic flips and shows of strength among other things. With the monks urging him on, Wesson made several kicks to the monk who showed no emotion. (AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli)

I love the 'with the monks urging him on'. Aren't they supposed to be peaceful people???

Look at the way that monk is peeking, the one who's standing behind the kicker.

The expression of the kickee. LOL!

What the hell made them (monks) choose Sacramento to visit anyway? Of all the places to visit on your first trip to the states that would not even make my top twenty-five.

And it has just plummeted to the bottom of the list if they repay my displays of strength and acrobatics by kicking the hell out of me...especially there.

Where'd you get that quote, Min? I'll bet that newspaper needs an editor. I don't know squat about editing, but am fairly certain I could do a better job than that.

But I guess someone's got to publish such things so we can have a laugh with our morning coffee before ever even making it to the funny pages.

~lucky (Wondering why they didn't juice up the photo with the kicked monk's feet being lifted off of the floor from the force of the kick. I would have.)

Makes you wonder what kind of person would take someone up on the offer to kick him in the nuts as hard as you could while he just stood there. It could only be a politician. I know I couldn;t bring myself to do it, especially not with the obvious relish that Herb Wesson shows. He's really enjoying himself.

I wonder if ass-fucking came next?

That's no monk.
That's "Anvil Balls Alan," a retired circus side-show geek.

What you don't see is the aftermath of the groin-kick: the "monks" are bent over with laughter; Wesson may lose the foot.

I can't believe people still fall for the "kick me as hard as you can in the balls" scam. Maybe Sacramento was the last place to find out about it.



PS: Dr. M, you don't want to know what happens when this stunt gets that far.

Yahoo. The pic is a link to the story. I left the typo in.
