The World is a Strange Place

I was struck by a female newscaster's comments when they announced He Pingping's death the other day. She went on about what a cutie he was as if he had been a child. I'm sure there were lots of people who wanted to pick him up and treat him like a little doll. And they probably did. I wonder how he felt about that.
