what hooligan sparrow did

This has to qualify as announcement of the day:

Beginning now, I am providing free sexual services for rural migrant workers.

This is from the blog of Ye Haiyan, also known as Liumang Yan, 'hooligan sparrow', a feminist activist in China. Go for the  sex, stay for the cogent points about power, inequality and exploitation.

Compare and contrast with Mark Ames 'Whore-er Stories' for _The Exile_, which left me feeling equally icky, but in a rather different way. Both though, put names and faces to the reality of 'uneven development' and what it means for personal tragedy.
