This is the first I've heard of it.

Then again, I'm always the last to find out.

According to the AOL homepage it was being talked about on social networking sites, and the Chinese authorities have blocked access to these sites from China.

I suppose it's possible. "What goes around comes around". China's politicical scene is about as far away from Chairman Mao as it can get. I don't know if their military forces could collectively act against the government but Tinaman Square proved it could turn on its people.

I picked up on this article from the BBC, which I assume is what you're talking about.

As far as I know, it isn't being discussed in the US media. Of course, we've got a real pissing contest election going on, and the media is so busy spinning that they don't even have the time to cover whether Brittany is wearing panties or not.

Dang it, I want to KNOW about them panties

It wouldn't surprise me. Succession is going to be a huge problem for them.

Well, if you don't wear them, you won't need to change them, so succession won't be a problem.
