GUANGDONG - Young adults in China are taking serious measures to buy expensive Apple products, according to reports.
Biznewschina reported that a female jiulinghou, referring to those born during the 90's, tweeted on Weibo (Chinese version of Twitter) that it is her "dream to own a iPhone4 but her father won't let her get one." She then decided to sleep with someone in exchange for the mobile device.
The Guangdong teen has posted a picture of herself along with other basic personal information saying she is willing to "sell" her virginity to anyone that buys her a iPhone 4."
Her post has received negative feedback, pointing out that a phone is not worth what she giving in exchange. Others think that someone is using her account and pulling a malicious prank on the girl.
Last April, a 17 year old boy from Anhui bought himself an iPad and cellphone by selling a kidney for 22,000 yuan (S$4,200).
Sociologists blame such events on the rising importance of materialism amongst the young generation and their belief that there are no limits to how they satisfy their desires.
