‘Kappa Girl’ fired for sex video


A 12 minute long sex video of a female employee working at the Kappa store in the east building of the Shanghai No.1 Department Store on Nanjing Lu has recently been spreading like wildfire on the Chinese internet via Bittorrent and the Chinese peer-to-peer application Xunlei, catapulting the search term ‘Kappa女’ (or “Kappa Girl”) into one of the top ten search terms on Google China and unleashing a ‘human flesh search engine’ where netizens worked together to track her down, publishing her private information such as her name, her pictures and her QQ number. The sexually explicit conversation between her and her boyfriend has also been translated from Shanghainese to Mandarin and plastered all over the internet (don’t worry guys, ChinaSmack will get around to translating all the juiciest bits into English for you soon enough). Fascinated, people started thronging the Kappa store (check out this scene — these guys weren’t there for a sale!) with cameras in hand trying to catch a glimpse of her.

Besieged by questions, the girl started a blog to defend herself, and while she was at it, she would be putting up more nice sexy pictures and videos of herself. In her blog, she wrote of how she might as well make good use of her sudden fame. Since she was “way prettier” than Furong Jiejie, she surmised she could learn a bit from Muzimei to put her exploits down on paper and make a living from it. Needless to say, she was soon sacked by Kappa — who, as Shanghai Daily informs us, fired her because she had “tarnished its image”. In her next post, she announced that she was now looking for sponsors — her rates would be RMB20,000 for a bar appearance, RMB50,000 for an underwear modelling assignment, RMB30,000 for an exclusive interview, and RMB100 per day for banner ads placed on her blog. Indeed when Shanghai Daily tried to contact her, the reporter was told to hand over RMB30,000 before she would grant an interview.

Under Chinese law, anyone who films or uploads sex videos onto the internet is guilty of distributing pornographic content and Shanghai police are now furiously wanking hard at work uncovering the origins of the video.
