Who knew it was so easy to lose your goddesshood? KATMANDU, Nepal - A 10-year-old Nepalese girl was stripped of her title as a living goddess because she traveled overseas to promote a documentary about the centuries-old tradition, an official said Tuesday. Does anyone know Ian McDonald? He might be interested in this story, if he hasn't heard about it already.

In other news: Hair Afire.

So that was my lunch break! One Yahoo!News story and an LJ post about it. Yeesh.

Weird, I just watched that documentary. How sad. Heaven forbid Asia promote intercultural awareness (though Nepal is, ostensibly, much better than Korea).

I wanna see the documentary. I had heard about the practice a few years ago, but had thought it had gone out of style. Guess not. I love yahoo news for weird and wonderful useless info.
