Chinese Firefighters Use Apple iPhone to Help Rescue Trapped Toddler

Here is a story that would likely have made Steve Jobs proud, as a toddler’s life was recently saved completely due to an iPhone.
  

Firefighters in Mengzi used the iPhone to help them figure out the best way to get the young boy into the harness they were using after the boy got stuck at the bottom of a 40-foot well.

Based on the reports, the rescuers were having a hard time slipping the harness onto the boy since it was made for adults. To add to the difficulty, the well was very narrow.

Using the iPhone’s camera function, the rescuers were able to see up close how they would need to get the boy into the harness and eventually to safety.

In the end, the successfully pulled the toddler from the well.  The boy is said to be recovering well and had not sustained any injuries. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOHstEcPUNU

Campaign Posters From Indonesia!

Every country has elections and legislative issues it wants to see elected and voted through. This normally leads to speeches, commercials, and campaign posters.

Here are a few of the funnier campaign posters from Indonesia:

Revive our national identity by making ‘eating and drinking with your right hand’ a daily habit…

Notice in this election poster below, that one of the candidates is missing. The individual second from the left has been blurred out and in the box below, it is written that the candidate has already passed away.

Of course, sometimes the best selling point for a potential candidate is the celebrities and world leaders they happen to know:

Nothing could be better than having one of the most powerful wizards in the world in your corner…

Or the man who can end the battle between Osama and Obama?

Last, but not least, if all else fails… just pop in a phone booth and become the super candidate.

Ugly Blind Date Causes Teen Suicide

Lying about your age and beauty is par for the course when it comes to Internet dating. In China, such deceptions had deadly results for one lovesick teen who killed himself after a disappointing meeting with an Internet ‘hotty’ he had been chatting with.

The 17-year-old boy from the northeastern Heilongjiang province, whose name has not been released, chatted with what he thought was a 19-year-old girl for weeks on popular free Chinese instant messaging and chatroom service Tencent QQ.

The woman, who used the name Qunjiaofeiyang (meaning “Flying Skirt”) in chats with the boy, described herself as beautiful and the two had conversations online for weeks before deciding to meet in person. When they finally met in the nearby town of Mudanjiang, the woman turned out to be ten years the boy’s senior – and much less attractive than advertised.

Disappointed and depressed, the teen returned home immediately and discontinued eating and sleeping. He made the tragic choice to end his life through hanging himself four days later.

The teen is just one of many in China, which has one of the world’s highest suicide rates.
