I think this month is a month of blog hype. Recently I just read another one where a woman is looking for a man with lots of money and great sex skills as her Mr Right. That's stupid isn't it? Here, maybe a little bit more serious, is an actress alleging a sexual harrassment from a director of the China Central Television (CCTV) who asked her to sleep with him in return for a role in the TV drama "Painter Village".

Xiao Qiong said on her blog that director Yang Yichao hinted that she might become one of the heroins in "Painter Village" if she had sex with him.

While one would expect rebuttal of these claims, they were met with immediately by the directing saying he did not claim to have done it. Which pretty much means as a man, he either got turned down by her and was too drunk before he thought about what he wanted to say, or that she's just trying to ride on some publicity wave.

No big deal. These kind of things happen regularly and I'm sure of it.
