I am currently traveling around Asia with my wife and so my blog post will be even more irregular than I had planed. But I found this new story while we were going through China and felt I should pass it on.

SHANGHAI (China Daily) - Police rescued two sisters from a circus in central China which forced them to perform sex acts for the amusement of guests, police said.

While her 34-year-old sister was forced to perform sex with her 13 year old son, the younger, 26-year-old was forced into having sex with the circus animals. She was injured while having sex with a pig, police said.
