I suppose if I was a really serious political blogger I wouldn’t link to stories like this:
The likely cause was eventually established – he had apparently been drinking with friends, and had passed out. His friends had decided it would be amusing to insert a live eel into his anus whilst he was comatose.
And the hungry little eel ate and ate and ate. There is some sociological interest in that this happened in Sichuan, which proves that drunk blokes are the same everywhere. Except that in Britain I suppose they’d have done it while dressed in drag.
UPDATE: I changed the original link on legal advice (see comments).
Given the amount of lolicon drawings on that site, there's a significant chance that anyone who's just clicked on it has committed a criminal offence (thanks to a change in the law that came into force on 6 April.)
That aside, how did you come across that link?

Popbitch, whom I should have credited.
I'll notify that for now and try to get another link. Cheers.

It's a silly law, don't get me wrong, but until we know how it's enforced in practice, better to play on the safe side...

No, thanks for the steer. That's the point about stupid fucking laws - you just stumble over them.

Link should have come with a 'safety-bear' warning.
