“BizNewsChina reported that a female jiulinghou, referring to those born during the 90’s, tweeted on Weibo (Chinese version of Twitter) that it is her ‘dream to own a iPhone4 but her father won’t let her get one,'” Christopher Kim reports for The Korea Herald
“She then decided to sleep with someone in exchange for the mobile device,” Kim reports. “The Guangdong teen has posted a picture of herself along with other basic personal information saying she is willing to ‘sell’ her virginity to anyone that buys her a iPhone 4.”
Kim reports, “Last April, a 17 year old boy from Anhui bought himself an iPad and cellphone by selling a kidney for 22,000 yuan ($3,400).”

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!! Brilliant

Brilliant………….
Really Mdn. Di you really gave to repost crap stories like this? Get your jollies elsewhere
I have to agree. MDN is of turning into a, “throw some blood into the sea and see the sharks thrash”, kind of publication.
Can we please get some respect back. Pleeeeeease!
No don’t delete m…
Amen. Apple Insider and MacRumor are great sites. They just cover the news. No fanboy coverage. No sensationalism. This story should be in the Enquirer.
In defense of MDN, I like their kitchen sink approach. MDN is a much looser and funner environment. You guys don’t have to come here. You can always stick to AI and MacRumors. Nobody forced you to read this story and if you complain about having to sort through the average ten stories posted here a day to find the relevant stories then you’re better off going elsewhere.
In my country, teen girls give that away for free.
thats so true
Like everything in China, Fake. Story is a fake story, girl is a fake girl (actually boy), virginity is a fake, iPhone 4 is a fake. Fakeanation.
You mean like a fake Open Mind?
What else will she have left to offer when the iPhone 5 comes out? I suggest she offers the iPhone 4 giver a preview of the goods with real delivery to come after the iPhone 5 is released. A sort virgin upgrade option as it were.
She can give up anal
Her first born
Reminds me of the girl in wow that traded sex for the epic flight mount when burning crusade came out.
What some people will do….
What about Zune user? What can they offer to get a Zune?
Their soul.
Their ABC gum.
I would wait for the 5…
This is all Apple’s fault!!! They need to be more like Microsoft or RIM.
BAD APPLE 😛
There’s another word for trading sex for property. Let me see…what is it again?…oh, yes…
Marriage!
I’ll give you iPhone case for BJ.
Allow her to work or part-time work or summer work at an Apple store doing something so that she can afford what she wants.
If she’s not allowed to work or still can’t afford the phone, then an iPhone gift certificate could be another possibility.
Don’t forget that the deal does not stop with buying the phone, she would need to shell out for the monthly service plan fee.
Most any other common sense alternative will be better to what she’s attempting right now.
I think that’s kinda expensive.
I have two daughters, and the oldest is six.
I’m ordering two iPhone4s for them right now!!
(could this be Apple counter intelligence?)
😉 j/k
So sad .
What, no RIM jokes?
Dimming isn’t the same. Probably only worth an iPod shuffle.
Note she does not want an HTC Thnderbolt.
She probably fears Thunderclap.
…or High Toxicity Clastogens.
A man approaches a beautiful woman in a bar, and without any small talk, asks her “If I give you a dollar will you sleep with me?” The woman is instantly angry and tells the man “Absolutely not!” Before she can get away from the man he asks her a second question. “Will you sleep with me for a million dollars?” Now the woman pauses and after some thought says “Yes, I will.” The man responds “How about for twenty dollars?” Again the woman looks indignant and says “Of course not. What kind of a woman do you think I am?” The man replies “I thought we just settled that. I was just negotiating the price.” Ba Da Boom!
Sorry, this is probably TMI, but in Guangdong area you can spend time with an attractive girl for about 700 yuan (100 bucks).. An iPhone costs about 4000yuan (600 bucks).. It’s a stupid deal, nevermind gross. Who wants to sleep with a virgin? :S
Sleep?
This is sick!
Those who joke about this, place yourself in the parents shoes or what if it happened to be your daughter?
MDN does not just post news, but any stories that demonstrate the cultural impact of Apple and its products. As sad as this story is (hopefully it is just a joke), if true it does demonstrate the impact Apple has.
Reminds me of the old ebay post where a guy was selling an ass-kicking…
Trading virginity for a cell phone. Western cultural decadence has successfully corrupted China. We have won the war. ;-P
How can she be a virgin if she gave RIM the finger….?
