A group of women protested the World Cup at the Century Avenue Metro Station yesterday, after organizing the event on an online chat platform. Over ten women held up signs, banners and handed out leaflets complaining that the tournament had deprived them of their husbands and boyfriends since it started in June.
Apparently since the beginning of the World Cup, their partners have been refusing to have sex as often, instead spending their time drinking and gambling on matches, and the ‘protest’ was their way of grabbing back some attention.
Fortunately they won’t have to wait long as the final match between Germany and Argentina is to be held on July 14.

Yea but they should have posed naked at least. I think they wasted their 15 minutes.

Typical Shanghainese attention getting style. Reminds me of that ah-yi (echina reported this) who appeared to be in her 50s when she rode a motorbike fully naked.

Lol, the pretty looking one is mad because his husband probably forgot to buy her weekly LV bag.

Gather 10 girls in shanghai like that and we will believe you. i had my fair share of the city and its women, and directly or indirectly all they want is money. Ok tell us would you marry a guy with no house or car or maybe not even a job...means no hot pots and hang outs aswell...if you say yes, i have a friend like that...date him for 6 months ..very caring and loving guy...not really good looking though, neither has money or can find a job...love will come on the way...be realistic candy... its the culture here "now".

I think any girl would not marry a guy with no money or no house, You are right women love money .but not all of them.if there are two options, A guy who is very rich but not love me , the second guy who loves me but having no money. I will choose the second guy to spend the rest of my life with.And he will try his best to make me happy because of love . Thank you .i have already found my true love ,he is not rich .we lived a place which is rented,ecept this ,everything is good. Wilsh you happy .

Bunch of attention seekers with nothing better to do. Hopefully a playboy was passing by & scored with some of them....haha. Funny how they dare complain about 4 weeks of sexless coexistence with their husbands/boyfriends, when we have to deal with their mood swings at least 12 weeks per year.
