The man who sued his wife for birthing an ugly baby

Apparently in China, bad genes are grounds for divorce — and six-figure fines
"Failed relationships can get ugly," says Ji Lin at the Irish Examiner, but the weird, sad tale of Jian Feng and his wife "really gives meaning to the old cliché." The story starts out conventionally enough: Feng, a resident of northern China, met and married a beautiful woman, and they had a baby girl. That's when things reportedly got, um, ugly. Feng was "so sure of his own good looks, so crushed by the wrinkly ugly mess that was handed to him in a swaddle, that he decided to sue his wife because the awful looking baby was totally her fault," says Madeline Holler at Babble. And then things went from ugly to crazy: He won.

Good. Grief.

I guess along with capitalism they are modeling their judicial system after us as well.

Well. when you one get a chance at one kid, you wanna make sure it was done right the first time...

Probably not true, but still funny and a lesson to be learned. Fortunately, I had my wife sign a pre-nup so if my baby doesn't come out radiating beauty and glory, then she and the baby are outta here.

Does anyone in this thread have children?

I find the fact that 'failed relationships can get ugly' is referred to as an 'old cliche' humorous.

can I sue beer companies based on what I've seen next to me the following morning?

With the amount of plastic surgery going on out there, who knows what anyone really looks like anymore. You're rolling the dice when it comes to procreating.

Gotta admire the dude's confidence

Reminds me of the Chris Rock bit...."when you meet somebody, you ain't meeting them, you're meeting their representative".

Good for him! How dare she birth such an ugly child!

Why did I think I would be reading about lottery tickets and suitcases when I opened this thread?
