Since when is exposing your belly considered sexually humiliating to someone?

When I was visiting China many people were walking around with their t-shirts pulled up halfway and their bellies hanging out. Surely she's used to it.

What a strange story.

Just off hand it sounds like she's trying to get him fired in a retaliation move.

I wonder what kind of conditioning this woman has had to even consider filing a petition with the NHRC. This happened in June and it�s in today�s paper? Why would the NHRC give a public statement about it today? What�s their motive; looking for publicity? Without more specifics, the case sounds ludicrous. Then again, in some countries people could go to prison if they question or deny the Holocaust, but this case is nuts. Laughing

I cannot help but wonder if there is actually more to this story than is being reported. Really, it is not exactly uncommon for the Korean media to leave out important details.

Wonder if it's a Buddha belly or six-pack abs belly? Is there some secret sign that Johns use for propositions?

Maybe his belly was so big it covered his &$8@, but the officer tried to save face and argued he was only showing his belly? Wink
