Chinese 'Vampire' Gets Two Months In Jail
Everyone gets a little thirsty after a bender -- but there's no excuse for drinking blood. Li Man-yiu of Hong Kong was sentenced to two months behind bars, one for each vial of blood he downed while in a drunken stupor at Yan Chai Hospital last September. The 28-year-old, dubbed "vampire" by the ever-so-creative local media, claimed "he did not realize the contents of the vials until he finished the second one," and according to the Hong Kong Standard, "then went to the washroom where he vomited." The local magistrate was reportedly lenient with his sentencing since "stupidity," not blood lust, was to blame.

Oh my I can't believe how far people go with some thing. Crazy! Um if you're in a hospital and your drinking something red from a vial it's probably blood duh....

 ;D

Maybe he was an alcoholic and thought it was special wine?

Ahhh, when I read the title, I thought you were actually talking about the mythological Chinese vampire. The zombie like thing that is mindless and just hops around sucking peoples blood, and they are controlled by the moon, or a taoist monk.

 Uhmmmm.......how did he get a hold of the blood? After they take blood from a patient, it is supose to get sent off, not for the next patient to come in and see it on the counter. He really must have been drunk. YUCK!!! he doesnt even know where/who it came from!! :groooan:

Can you say "infectious disease"? *rolls eyes*

yeah! I thought that too. brings back so many of those old chinese films. and then you stick those "fu" yellow strips of paper on their foreheads and they can't move... and if you hold your breath sometimes they can't tell you're there.

I believe when you hold your breath, they can't smell you. And those strips of paper are awesome. It makes them immobile and the taoist can control them heh.

Oh, you guys are talking about vampires in Chinese film?
There are a couple Chinese myths about vampires one is the Jiang Shi

Which I believe you are talking about and then I found this one:

I don't know if they are related or not. May be just a different name for the same mythical vampire.

Oh dear....

This is as bad as someone getting arrested for indecent exposure.


Eish, and after I say that, they are probably going to note in a month or so that someone got arrested for being an "indecently exposed vampire."

He was probably drinking his own blood just taken from him for intoxication tests.  But still what a waste of good blood!

And Come On!  Two little vials made him throw up?  More likely it was the enormous amount of alcohol in his system.
