Is China Really Planning To Build An Underwater Super Train To The USA?

China Is Planning To Build A Train Line That Would Connect Beijing To The US, Reports The WP

According to a report in the Beijing Times, citing an expert at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Chinese officials are considering a route that would start in the country's northeast, thread through eastern Siberia and cross the Bering Strait via a 125-mile long underwater tunnel into Alaska.

        washingtonpost.com

"Right now we're already in discussions. Russia has already been thinking about this for many years," says Wang Mengshu, the engineer cited in the article.

The Proposed "China-Russia-Canada-America" Line Would Be Some 12,875 KM Long (2,897 KM Longer Than The Trans-Siberian Railroad)

The route would begin in China's northeast and extend through Siberia and across the Bering Straight into Alaska, according to an expert at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Wang Mengshu. It would be almost 3000 km longer than the massive Trans-Siberian railroad.

The tunnel that the Chinese would help bore beneath the icy seas would be four times the length of what traverses the English Channel. That's reason enough to be skeptical of the project, of which there are few details beyond what was attributed to the one official cited by the state-run Beijing Times.

The Technology To Construct Such A Long Underwater Tunnel Already Exists In China And Will Be Used To Build A Tunnel To Connect China’s Fujian Province With Taiwan, Claims A Report In The State-Run China Daily

The train would reportedly travel at around 220mph, meaning the entire trip between the United States and China would take around two days. What is being called the China-Russia-Canada-America line is one of four large-scale international high-speed rail projects the country wants to build, the Guardian writes, citing the Beijing Times:

        slate.com

The first is a line that would run from London via Paris, Berlin, Warsaw, Kiev and Moscow, where it would split into two routes, one of which would run to China through Kazakhstan and the other through eastern Siberia. The second line would begin in the far-western Chinese city of Urumqi and then run through Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran and Turkey to Germany. The third would begin in the south-western city of Kunming and end in Singapore.

In The Past Half Decade Or So, China Has Embarked On An Astonishing Rail Construction Spree, Laying Down Tens Of Thousands Of Miles Tracks And Launching Myriad High-Speed Lines, Reports The WP

A map that appeared on Xinhua's news site outlines the route, alongside a parallel vision for a "maritime Silk Road"

It has signaled its intent to build a "New Silk Road" -- a heavy-duty freight network through Central Asia that would connect with Europe via rail rather than the old caravans that once bridged West and East.

        washingtonpost.com

To that end, Beijing has assiduously resurrected the narrative of the ancient Silk Road as well as given prime billing to the tales of China's famed Ming dynasty treasure fleets, which sailed all across the Indian Ocean. Seen in such grand historic perspective, a tunnel to Alaska doesn't seem too far-fetched.

        washingtonpost.com

While some of its neighbors watch China's rise warily, the main plank of Beijing's soft power pitch has always been its stated desire to improve economic ties and trade with virtually everyone.

        washingtonpost.com

"China’s wisdom for building an open world economy and open international relations is being drawn on more and more each day," trumpets the Xinhua report that accompanies the map above, according to the Diplomat.

If Completed, The Rail Networks Would Be One Of The Biggest Infrastructural Projects In The History Of Mankind

But while the technology exists to make the train a reality, the political environment is less welcoming to the prospects of a cross-Bering route. Large-scale American infrastructure investments — in trains in particular — aren't in vogue right now.

The feds have struggled to keep Amtrak adequately funded and botched the modest Acela project. And it would likely cost a whole lot of money. A Baltimore-D.C. maglev rail line alone would cost well more than $8 billion dollars. Conservative groups like the Heritage Foundation often point to high-speed rail projects as expensive boondoggles that waste public funds.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi revealed today, 13 March, that more than a thousand people have died under police custody in Malaysia in the past 17 years. "The statistics for death in custody from 2010 to February 2017 is 1,654 people, while the occupants received further treatment at the hospital from diseases like HIV, cancer, heart attack, blood issues, lungs, TB, asthma and other diseases," said Zahid in a written parliamentary response to DAP MP Kasthuri Patto, as reported by Malay Mail Online. Out of the 1,654 people, 1,037 were Malays, 222 were ethnic Chinese, 185 foreigners, 182 ethnic Indians, and the remaining 28 were from other ethnicities.

The deputy prime minister stressed that the authorities will not "compromise or protect" any enforcement officers if they are found to have played a hand in the deaths of people in custody

This was in response to Batu Kawan MP Kasthuri, who had asked the Home Ministry to provide details on the number of deaths in custody since the 2000s in relation to the latest custodial death of S. Balamurugan. 44-year-old S. Balamurugan died in police custody at the North Klang police headquarters on 7 February. Balamurugan was arrested on 6 February for alleged robbery and taken to the magistrate's court the day after. He had vomited blood during the remand proceeding. Following the incident, the court had ordered the police to take Balamurugan to the hospital but he was instead taken to the police headquarters where he died later that day. The second post-mortem conducted on the victim confirmed that he had suffered "multiple beatings" while in custody.Zahid had refused to comment on Balamurugan's case, as the case is still under investigation.

It was also reported that there have been three deaths in custody in just three months since the year 2017 started

In a report by The Star in 2015, Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Noor Rashid Ibrahim, said that 95% of the deaths in police custody from the year 2010 till 2014 were due to natural causes. He added that out of the 51 cases reported in the span of four years, only one was due to police misconduct.

Just a few weeks after the death of S. Balamurugan, another detainee died while in police custody:

Budak 6 Tahun Ketagih Video Seks, Tangan Masuk Dalam Kain, Semuanya Angkara Bapa Durjana

Boleh bayangkan budak yang baru berusia 6 tahun boleh terjebak dan ketagih menonton video seks?

Image via pinimg.com

Perkara ini sememangnya mengejutkan. Namun, inilah wabak masa kini yang sedang 'menyerang' segelintir kanak-kanak yang tidak bersalah.Dalam satu kes yang diceritakan oleh Sri A'jilah Mohd Samsir menerusi Facebook, seorang kanak-kanak 6 tahun dilihat begitu khusyuk menonton video pornografi di dalam telefon bimbit yang dibawanya ke tadika.Lebih parah, kanak-kanak itu juga dilihat memasukkan tangannya ke dalam kain ketika menonton bahan lucah tersebut.

Persoalan yang timbul tentunya, bagaimana budak sekecil itu sudah boleh ketagih menonton video seks?

Jika difikirkan dengan logik akal, perkara ini tampak begitu mustahil. Logiknya, budak seawal usia begitu hanya tahu bermain, berseronok, dan menonton rancangan kanak-kanak. Mana mungkin mereka mampu memikirkan tentang hal lain, lebih-lebih lagi pornografi.Namun bagi kes ini, guru tadika mendapati bahawa anak kecil ini sering diajak oleh bapanya untuk menonton video lucah bersama-sama. Malah, bapanya juga yang mengajar anak kecil itu untuk 'mengusik' kemaluan ketika menonton.

Baca status penuh di bawah:

Berdegup kencang jantung ni dibuatnya. Apa taknya, kalau melibatkan budak bawah umur 7 tahun, memang rasa kesian. Rasa nak marah. Mereka ni kecil lagi, tak tahu apa-apa, naif, dan kebanyakannya memang ikut je apa yang dia nampak. Ikut je apa yang orang sekeliling dia buat.Kisah kali ni melibatkan budak perempuan umur 6 tahun. Ye, budak sekolah tadika.Budak ni menunjukkan sikap yang sangat berbeza dari mula-mula dia mendaftar dulu. Budaknya peramah sangat. Rajin tolong cikgu. Pandai bergaul dengan kawan-kawan.Tapi, seminggu dua ni, dia nampak lain. Lebih banyak buat hal sendiri dan tak nak bercakap sangat. Dia lebih suka duduk sorang-sorang sambil bawa beg ke hulur ke hilir.Pelik! Bila suruh tinggalkan beg, dia akan menangis meraung-raung.Seorang guru cuba untuk tanya apa yang berlaku. Dia peluk beg dia kuat-kuat. Bila cikgu cuba nak minta beg dia, dia meraung macam kena histeria, macam kena pukul.Waktu rehat, budak ni dah jarang makan. Makan sikit je lepastu terus buka beg dia. Mata dia tak bergerak-gerak dan dia boleh habiskan waktu rehat tu dengan hanya merenung isi dalam beg.Sampai lah satu hari, seorang guru ternampak dia buka zip beg sekolah. Tahu tak apa yang dia bawa?Handphone! Dan dia siap tengok cerita dari handphone tu. Yang menyedihkan, cerita tu bukan cerita kartun didi and friends, boboiboy, atau pun upin ipin. Tapi video pornografi!Berderau sungguh.

Image via fastcompany.net

Budak ni tak perasaan yang tindak tanduk dia sedang diperhatikan. Dia khusyuk tengok adegan dalam handphone tu sambil tangannya dimasukkan ke dalam kain.Cikgu syak yang budak ni dah ketagih( berdasarkan beberapa soalan yang ditanya). Ketagih menonton aksi pornografi seawal usia 6 tahun!Budak ni kata, dia pernah tengok video ni di rumah dengan ayah. "ayah masukkan tangan dalam kain sambil pegang sini (tunjuk ke arah kemaluan)."Si ayah yang sepatutnya jadi tempat untuk anak berlindung, sebenarnya syaitan bertopengkan manusia. Entah apa lagi yang dibuatnya pada si anak.Ibu bapa dia diminta datang untuk bincangkan masalah ni. Tapi, hanya si ibu yang muncul. Datang dengan muka mencuka."Puan, kami jumpa handphone ni dalam beg anak puan. Dan ni bukan kali pertama dia bawa. Maaf ye puan, kami ambil handphone ni dari anak puan sebab kami nampak dia tengok video lucah dalam ni. Ada lebih kurang 10 video semuanya. Anak puan beritahu, dia pernah tengok video ni dengan ayah dia. "Pihak tadika cuba jelaskan pada si ibu.Si ibu pula, dengan selamber je bagitau yang handphone tu memang milik si ayah. Dan dia jugak tahu, dalam handphone tu ada video lucah yang disimpan oleh si ayah."Boleh tak pulangkan handphone tu pada saya? Ingatkan handphone ni hilang. Takpelah, pasal anak saya tu, nanti saya cakap dengan dia. Budak kecik kan, bukan tau apa-apa, bukan faham pun. Takkan lah ayah dia ajak dia tengok video ni."Mudahnya lahai jawapan si ibu.Ketagih menonton video lucah seawal 6 tahun bukan perkara remeh tau!

Image via kasperskydaily.com

Memang lah budak tak tau apa-apa, tapi budak zaman sekarang ni otak dia bijak. Kadang-kadang, kita rasa dia tak faham, tapi sebenarnya dia simpan semua tu dalam otak dia.Ibu ayah, Tolonglah jangan ambil mudah. Kita perlu ajar anak-anak tentang 'private parts' tapi bukan melalui video macam ni.Kaum ibu terutamanya. Kita ada tugas besar yang perlu kita buat. Selalu bertanya, selalu bercakap, selalu ambil tahu, apa yang anak-anak kita buat, apa yang anak-anak kita tengok. Cuba jadikan anak kita rasa selesa untuk bercerita apa pun dengan kita. Ambil berat setiap apa yang anak-anak beritahu.Paling penting, Mesti ajar anak kita bahagian tubuh badan yang tak boleh disentuh oleh siapa pun.

Bila disiasat, rupa-rupanya si ibu sudah bertahun-tahun menjadi mangsa dera si ayah dan lebih rela untuk tutup mulut

Saya kongsikan perkembangan terkini pelajar tersebut.Pihak tadika, merayu pada si ibu untuk buat report polis disebabkan semua bukti ada pada si ibu dan mungkin juga sebab mereka kurang arif dengan prosedur dan tempat untuk dirujuk bagi kes-kes macam ni.Salah seorang staff tadika, datang ke rumah budak tersebut dan berjumpa dengan si ibu. Rumahnya rapi, tak banyak barang pun. Hanya perabut asas sahaja. Si ibu hanya memakai baju lengan pendek dan berkain batik.Mungkin dah boleh agak tujuan kedatangan pihak tadika, si ibu tak bercakap banyak dan cuba untuk mengelak dari menjawab soalan-soalan berkaitan kes."Banyak parut dan lebam kat tangan puan ni. Maaf tanya ye puan. Puan kena pukul ke? " tanya staff tersebut.Aduh! Sudahlah anak dicabul, Isteri didera pulak.Nampaknya ada luka yang dalam pada dahi si ibu.

Image via getsurrey.co.uk

Si ibu nampak takut-takut untuk buka mulut sampaila didesak dan dijanjikan perlindungan oleh pihak tadika.Si ibu sudah bertahun-tahun jadi mangsa dera suami sendiri. Disebabkan dia hanya suri rumah, dia sangat takut jika diceraikan. Rela tadah badan dipukul dengan getah paip dan kepala tali pinggang. Paling sadis, rela tutup mulut bila tau anak kecilnya dicabul.Sungguh! Dia bukan ibu bodoh macam yang kita sangka. Dia tahu masa depan anaknya akan tergadai kalau benda macam ni berterusan. Dia kena pukul dengan topi keledar selepas bertanya tentang perbuatan terkutuk tersebut.Laporan polis telah dibuat.Si ayah telah ditangkap dan berada dalam tahanan polis.Si ibu sekarang berada di bawah jagaan pihak tadika dan baru bekerja sebagai tukang masak di tadika tersebut.Semoga si ayah mereput dalam penjara.Sumber: Sri A'jilah Mohd Samsir

Tun M: "It Is True That I Prevented Najib From Leaving The Country"

In a press conference at the Bersatu headquarters today, 12 May, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad revealed that it was him who prevented former PM Najib Razak from leaving the country

"It is true that I prevented Najib from leaving the country."Apart from him and his wife, I'm not aware of any other persons," Tun Dr Mahathir said during the press conference where he announced three new cabinet ministries.Earlier today, the Immigration Department declared that they have blacklisted Najib and his wife Rosmah Mansor from leaving Malaysia, effective immediately.

When asked about the reason for the Immigration blacklist on Najib, Tun Dr Mahathir replied, saying that there is "sufficient evidence into things that have been done" by the former prime minister

"There are a lot of complaints against him, all of which have to be investigated."If some of the complaints are valid...We have to act quickly because we don’t want to be saddled with extradition from other countries," he added.Tun Dr Mahathir also said that he wants to settle 1MDB investigations as soon as possible as he doesn't want to be "saddled with the issue of extradition".

Tun Dr Mahathir also revealed that he has ordered the police department to remove the OSA tag from the 1MDB audit report

"I've given instructions already to the police to remove the restrictions placed on it by the Official Secrets Act (OSA). They will then submit the report to me, and I'll study it in order to release it," he said while adding that at the moment, "We don’t have an Attorney-General" as the new PH Government has placed certain restrictions on "a number of people who may be involved in wrongdoing or in making wrong decisions."

MCMC Confirms Medium And Sarawak Report Are No Longer Blocked In Malaysia

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has confirmed that Sarawak Report and Medium are no longer blocked

Sarawak Report is no longer blocked in Malaysia.
Image via SAYS

In a statement today, 18 May, MCMC stressed that the move to block any website is done according to the laws of the country.It said that the blocking of certain websites are done to maintain public order, adding that restrictions can be reviewed and blocks will be lifted if the reason or criteria of blocking such sites are no longer relevant, in line with current times."In the case of Sarawak Report and Medium, there is no need to restrict when the 1MDB report has been made public," the statement readThe 1MDB audit report has been declassified on 15 May, after Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad ordered for the Official Secrets Act 1972 seal on the audit report be lifted on 12 May.MCMC also added that Malaysiakini's live.undi.info website was recently blocked on the evening of polling day on 9 May as it was acting on public complaints that the results and information displayed on the site were inaccurate.

Image via @SKMM_MCMC

Sarawak Report and Medium had been blocked for about two to three years

Image via Malaysiakini

Sarawak Report was first blocked in July 2015 after the London-based site reported on the allegations that funds linked to 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) ended up in Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's bank accounts. The whistleblowing website then resorted to using Medium to post their articles, so that Malaysians would have access to the information related to the issues concerning the matter.However, when Medium refused a request by MCMC to remove an article that was posted by Sarawak Report on the platform, the authorities proceeded to block Medium in January 2016.  Both the websites were blocked during Najib's tenure as Prime Minister of Malaysia.

MCMC's statement comes after a day local media reported Thursday, 17 May, that the several websites that were previously blocked can be freely accessed again

According to Free Malaysia Today, a total of three websites - Sarawak Report, Medium, and Asia Sentinel - that published critical information related to 1MDB were accessible for viewing without restriction yesterday.Asia Sentinel was blocked in January 2016 shortly after the site reproduced an article from Sarawak Report, the same one that got the latter's website blocked in Malaysia. Just yesterday, human rights lawyers' organisation Lawyers for Liberty (LFL) urged MCMC to unblock all websites previously restricted due to political motivation."As in any functioning democracy, the fourth estate must be allowed the freedom to both report on and criticise the government of the day and hold it to account. "The previous administration has greatly wronged freedom of the press and the public as a whole by shutting down these various websites that serve as whistle-blowers and called attention to the government’s wrongdoings," said the NGO's executive director, Eric Paulsen.

Speaking of which, you can read the highlights from the 1MDB audit report that has been released to the public here:

                The 1MDB Audit Report Has Finally Been Declassified After 2 Years. Here Are The Highlights

The report was previously protected by the Official Secrets Act since 2016.

Ex-Minister Wants Taxis Abolished After "Scammer" Drivers Shouted At Mahathir

Following the stunt pulled by 10 taxi drivers during a dialogue session with Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad yesterday, 21 October, a former minister has called for the abolition of taxi services in Malaysia

Former Information Minister Tan Sri Zainuddin Maidin
Image via Malaysiakini

In a tweet yesterday, former Information Minister Tan Sri Zainuddin Maidin commented on the taxi drivers who walked out on the session with Mahathir in Langkawi.Labelling the drivers as "scammers and extortionists", Zainuddin wrote that it would be best to abolish taxi services and retain ride-sharing services such as Grab.

Pemandu teksi di Langkawi bersikap biadap dlm pertemuan dg Tun Mahathir. Itu dg Tun ,sikap mereka dimana2 lebih kurang ajar terhadap public.Lebih baik hapuskan shj teksi ,tinggal grab shj.Mereka bukan jenis manusia yg patut diberi muka.Penipu dan pemeras.— Zainudin Maidin (@ZainudinMaidin) October 21, 2018

The ex-minister, better known as Zam, also criticised the drivers' rude behaviour at the dialogue session yesterday

"Taxi drivers in Langkawi were rude during the meeting with Mahathir," Zam wrote in the tweet.The former Information Minister also said that taxi drivers are not the type of "human beings who should be given face"."If they can be this way with Mahathir, how would they behave towards the passengers?" he added.

Taxi drivers had shouted offensive words at Mahathir and staged a walkout during the dialogue session yesterday

Malaysiakini reported chairperson of the Association of Malaysia Taxi Drivers, Rental Cars, Premium Executive (Perjiwa) Zailani Isaisuludin as suggesting that the disruptive drivers could have been paid to behave rudely at the event yesterday."I reject claims that they were members of Perjiwa. I don't know them at all," Zailani said."Maybe they were paid by certain quarters to disrupt the event," he added.

Mahathir had offered to resign as Prime Minister after taxi drivers shouted at him and walked out on the dialogue session yesterday:

Doing A Wardrobe Purge? Sell Your Pre-Loved Clothes At This New Thrift Store In TTDI

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for our latest stories and breaking news.

Whether your style has evolved over time or you just need a good spring clean, it's always a good idea to get rid of items every now and then

Clearing your wardrobe can feel like a rejuvenating, fresh start, especially clearing items you haven't worn in awhile or just can't fit anymore.But let's be honest, it can feel quite difficult to take that first step.

Image via GIPHY

To make it less stressful and give you a bit of incentive, there's a new thrift store in Taman Tun Dr Ismail that will help you sell your pre-loved clothes and pay you your earnings when your items sell

Image via @hellolooop (Instagram)

Opened in May, LOOOP was started to encourage people to tackle the throwaway culture by giving life to pre-loved pieces that you may not wear anymore. Instead of dumping them at recycling bins or letting them end up in a landfill, the three founders, Emma, Adani, and Bay, decided to open a clean thrift store that allows people to buy and sell.

LOOOP takes in roughly 500 pieces of clothing every week.
Here's how the process works:

			1. Book an appointment slot (they release new slots weekly on Mondays. If no slots are available, check back on the following Monday).2. Once you've dropped off your clothes, the team will go through them to check for any defects, stains, or holes. 3. All of the clothes will be sorted, labelled, and arranged accordingly. This process can take up to a week before you receive a confirmation price email.The maximum number of clothes you can bring in per appointment is 20 pieces. Each person is allowed one slot per month.

        View this post on Instagram            A post shared by LOOOP (@hellolooop)

Your curated items will be put up on sale for eight weeks; five weeks at full price, two weeks at 20% off, and on the last week, 50% off

You will then receive a 40% cut of the sales via bank transfer.

From the man in the street to folks in the government, it is not unusual to come across people who haven’t a clue what life is like for those who are disabled.

        thestar.com.my

There are about five percent of the Malaysian citizens suffered from certain form of disabilities, a significant population whom need to be taken care and included in the Malaysian society.

        beautifulgate.org.my

There are about 220,000 disabled persons in Malaysia with about 95,435 registered with the authorities, but only 3,870 have paid employment.

        beautifulgate.org.my

While the government has given jobs to over 2 million foreign workers in Malaysia, they are yet to recognize this huge untapped workforce among PWD which is at 95%.

        beautifulgate.org.my

Malaysia is still not handicapped-friendly enough for the disabled people, there is "still a lot to do" for the handicapped including more handicapped-friendly facilities.

A Woman In JB Allegedly Beat Her Husband To Death

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for our latest stories and breaking news.

A 35-year-old woman allegedly beat her husband to death at their home in Flat Paya Nipah, Taman Daya, Johor Bahru yesterday morning

The 44-year-old victim was found lying on the floor during the 7.50am incident on 15 July.According to Johor Bahru south district police chief ACP Raub Selamat, an initial investigation found that the victim was believed to have been beaten by his wife with a blunt object, which then led to his death."The victim's son, who was in the house at the time, is the main witness. Police are still investigating the motive of the incident and whether the suspect used a weapon," New Straits Times quoted Raub as saying.The couple has two children, aged two and 11.

The wife, who was arrested a couple of hours later yesterday, has since been remanded for seven days to assist into the investigation

The remand order was issued by senior assistant registrar Melody Woon Sze Mun at the Johor Baru magistrate court, where the woman, wearing a white t-shirt and lock-up pants, was brought today, 16 July.The motive for the murder is still under investigation.Meanwhile, police are also looking for a man who is believed to be involved in the case, which is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.

Image via Berita Harian Online (YouTube)

The 35-year-old woman has three previous records

Raub said the woman tested positive for amphetamine and methamphetamine, adding that she also has two previous drug-related offences and one criminal case of causing injury.She was believed to be under the influence of drugs when she committed the crime, Raud said.

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness.

Is This The 'Darkest Baby In The World'?

If — by any chance — there wasn't a self-imposed hiatus on your social media escapades in the past week of June, possibilities are you came across a set of two photographs. One of those two photos shows a newborn with pitch-dark skin tone and the other shows a two-year-old, with similar skin tone, playing with a doctor.

According to the Dailypedia, several blogs are calling the baby as a record holder for being the 'darkest baby in the world'. However, as the Dailypedia aptly notes, it seems dubious that the Guinness World Records has such a racist category.The baby, according to a RachFeed report that cites a website called Social Trends, was allegedly born in South Africa recently. Although, there are no other actual news reports correlating with either the RachFeed or Social Trends' claims.

Upon a closer inspection, it can be ascertained that the baby's eyes appears so black that they resemble a doll more than an actual child

Not only that, they also lack the sclera or the white portion.On the other hand, even if the baby is real and its skin tone is pitch-dark, its skin lacks texture and the glow that new born babies have.

Moreover, if the baby was born recently, as claimed, what explains this second photograph showing the same kid aged at least two?

There are absolutely no verifiable source of origin for these two images. No actual news reports. Even reverse-image search on Google fails to turn up any prominent result. It's as if someone just dropped them on the Internet last week and is now having a good laugh over how the whole of Internet is freaking out over them. Which is actually might be the case. Someone with good photo editing skills simply colour-touched the photo with the baby (possibly a doll) and circulated it on the Internet for kicks.
