"boyfriend jumped to his death after his girlfriend insisted on going into another clothes shop"

"A man jumped to his death after a furious row with his girlfriend who insisted they go into another clothes shop."
An eyewitness said: 'He told her she already had enough shoes, more shoes that she could wear in a lifetime and it was pointless buying any more.

'She started shouting at him accusing him of being a skinflint and of spoiling Christmas, it was a really heated argument.'

The shouting match ended when the man chucked the bags on the floor and jumped over the balcony, smashing into Christmas decorations on his way down before hitting the floor seven stories below causing shocked shoppers to flee in panic.
Mail Online. Update: Althouse believes "Christmas Shopping" was just a cover story.

I did not know they celebrated Christmas in Red China.

I see the guard is back up at the TOL.

I had a sarcastic quip in the Walker basketball game thread whitewashed.

I'm done with her. She sucks.

This is exactly a symptom of something that is going to be a serious problem. To many men and not enough women in China and how women are driving the relationships on this. A chinese woman has a ton of men to choose from as suitors with many of them lavishing her with things in the hopes that she would choose them. And when she does, look out, this will happen.

This guy is a martyr and a hero to us all. Even the girlfriend should worship him. He could have chosen murder/suicide.

Bagoh - the order is important.

TOL = TOP.

Jeez. Don't know where my head is this morning.

That's why is difficult for some people to fear them.

They have taken to market capitalism with abandoned.

TOL = TOP.

I was wondering if I had missed something... again.

with abandon.

Imelda must have been tough to live with.

Aridog said...

As usual TOP's hostess ventures in to untutored psychology. Boy just killed himself. Period. WTF?

Modern feminism summed up: Buy me shoes then kill yourself.

I just figured that she asked him "Does this dress make me look fat" just one too many times. He couldn't take it anymore and jumped.

PMJ hit the nail on the head over there.

Unknown said...

It's weird (or maybe not - maybe it's a good thing) how we relate to the boyfriend. See, ladies - enough already!

Sinking into debt over our bizarre thirst to impress others feels like a 7 story plunge.

The Dude said...

Haz nailed it over here.

DBQ, LOL.

Boy just killed himself. Period.

If you like your end of life care, you can keep it.

As for getting the order wrong: Give the guy a break!

Icepick said...

Give the guy a break!

That was insensitive. Forgive me. But I used up all my sensitivity feeling bad about how bad Obama must feel about that guy that inspired him expiring.

Icepick said...

But seriously, give the guy a break for getting the order wrong. Seriously, he must have been exhausted after hours and hours of forced shopping for women's shoes. Only a Rex Ryan would find that stimulating. And when we're tired, we all make mistakes. At least he threw the shoes over first.

Icepick said...

Also, this is exactly the kind of story that one shouldn't question too closely. It can only become a worse story under closer scrutiny. So leave it alone people. Otherwise you'll just be disappointed as I was when I discovered the story about the 42 midget wrestlers killed by a lion in Cambodia was a fake.

Icepick said...

If you stare too long into the Abyss, you will discover it's an internet hoax.

Like Japan, Taiwan and Korea, Christmas is an opportunity for marketing and sales and the ChiComs have no problem with that.

Five hours of shopping would drive anyone BSC...

KCFleming said...

Once I jumped down a flight of stairs when Xmas shopping dragged on too long.

Well, it was only an hour and 3 steps, but still.

They celebrate Christmas in frickin' Saudi Arabia. Commercial Christmas, that is. Decorated trees, lights, prezzies. They eat that up!
Interesting that seasonal displays that pass muster in Saudi Arabia are banned as unconstitutional in America.

Amartel said...

Well, yeah, Christmas shopping was a cover story. I'm sure the girlfriend didn't just berate him about Christmas shopping. She berated him about everything and he just couldn't take it anymore.

bagoh20 said...

It was either this or be a splooge stooge. He took the shorter path.

Chip Ahoy said...

New trend: When asked why they traveled to Russia to find wives, the group of Chinese men answered,

因为它们较低的维护

Lower maintenance.

Synova said...

I guess he decided to show her what "spoiling Christmas" looked like.

Synova said...

(For hours now I've been trying to get my mind around the idea of Russian women as "low maintenance.")
