So, this Chinese entrepreneur named Lu Xiaoqing has a brilliant idea. "There's eighty billion people in China," he tells himself. "So sex must be popular, right? Then what could be more popular sex-themed amusement park?"

Makes perfect sense to me. I mean, Dolly Parton's got her own amusement park, and nobody's ever raced to the altar just to hear Island in the Stream.

Mr. Lu follows his dream and starts building Love Land, but then he decides the place could use a little publicity. This isn't such a brilliant idea. Word filters out about what he's doing and then the shit hits the fan. Less than 48 hours later, local officials declare the park an "evil influence on society" and the place is bulldozed.

Sigh. We can only guess the brilliance of what might have been with the few photos that exist.


Here are the sinks in the women's bathroom. There aren't any fixtures: smacking them on the ass turns them on.


Goddammit. I was really looking forward to riding the Wild Taint.


Now all that's left are ruins and an unspoken epitaph:

He tried to build it, so they could come.
