Cursing Grannies: A Chinese Fix for Trump

Monday, 26 September 2016

Last week I discovered the best HK$50 (A$8, US$6.50, £5, €6) buy in Hong Kong. The cursing grannies.

They hang out under the Canal Rd Underpass in Wan Chai:

For your HK$50 they will curse and hit any villain you care to suggest. Your horrible boss, your cheating ex:

Or in my case Donald Trump, after all we don’t get to vote in the US elections, even though it affects us. So at least in Hong Kong I could arrange to have him cursed and hit:

You give them a picture of your villain, they light some incense sticks, make some offerings, put the picture of your villain on a brick with their villain hitting shoe:

And pound the hell out of it, all the while chanting curses:

When they’ve finished pounding and cursing at the villain they put him in a paper tiger and set him on fire. Great value!
