OT: Why I hate Geico ads
![Green Xenon [Radium]'s profile photo](http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjXIeIJhTqOxEYFvKAuip5ejWy8hTeL-C1nyXJxAbSVgQnnxXQ=s40-c)
Green Xenon [Radium]
Here are examples of geico ads which I fucking hate because they are so
fucking stupid:
1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSPXpc5N6Kg -- this ad depicts the 50s
or before when [obviously] there was no such thing as geico or their
stinkin car insurance
2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Em-b0wQzQ-0 -- asshole celebrity
"mashed potatoes woohoo!" Howd ya like some mashed potatoes up your
stinky ass, you disheveled shithole?!
There is also another geico ad that I hate with a passion which I wasn't
able to find. It's a black and white ad depicting the old days when
there was no internet. That ad talks about some guy who went poor and
started hunting deer for food. It then shows that he somehow makes a lot
of money. There is critic in the background who says "I was initially
skeptical of this claim". This ad then show the main character going
onto a computer [!!!!!!!] and the internet [what the fuck!!!!] and
changing his car insurance to Geico. WTFuck is wrong with Geico, they
were depicting a time when computers and internet were absent yet they
show someone in that time going onto a PC and accessing the net! This is
so fucking stupid and annoying! It is blatantly idiotic and pisses me
off. I feel like burning those involved in producing that advertisement.
I want to torch their skin until it blisters into white foam. Stupid
assholish sick fucks deserve to burn in hell for the annoyance they cause.
I'd rather watch their old cavemen ads for an hour than a second of the
ads I mentioned above.
I lay a curse on those geico fuckheads:
In your next incarnation you'll all be satan's bitches!

Okay, first off, Chatty Cathys were produced and sold from 1959
through 1965, so it isn't "the 50s or before".
Geico has been around in one form (Government Employees Insurance
Company) or another for a several decades. The Geico ads haven't, but
I digress. Since I'm not with them, couldn't say if they were selling
car insurance in the early 60s, but so what. It's a joke. Get over
it.

I happen to think this is one of the funnier commercials. Rather a
take off on how it seems to take a celebrity to sell something on
television, even if they know little or nothing about it (or like
Robert Wagner, Pat Boone, et al and the "reverse mortgage" ads).

Dude! Beverly Hillbillies. Old tv show, probably before your time.
Guy didn't "get poor", he was poor, was out "shootin' for some food,
and up from the ground came a bubblin' crude... oil that is, black
gold, Texas Tea" (yeah, I used to watch it every day after school,
didn't dawn on me until later that if he was hunting, hitting the
ground with a bullet meant he wasn't shooting at any deer!). Jed
Clampett, the original tin man in The Wizard of Oz (or so the story
goes), who was allergic to the makeup required for the part.
Get a grip, cut the caffeine, sit back and relax okay? It's a
commercial. Hit mute, that's what I do.

I so enjoy their commercials - big time.
I don't have geico, but I do love their ads.

Green Xenon has trouble with reality. Reality is: Geico ads are
fantasy. I wonder he isn't complaining that geckos can't really talk
and walk on their back legs, or drink coffee, or talk to otters. LOL.
And who doesn't know who the Beverly Hillbillies were? Or the Cabbage

Sorry. GEICO was founded in 1936 as Government Employees
Insurance Company.

American ad agencies won't create clever ads (like the ones from
Europe and South America you see on all of the clip shows) because
most Americans have such a rudimentary understanding of what is
"funny".
That's why you see ads like GEICO.
I just saw another idiotic one-- the H&R Block ad where the guy is
wearing a "suit" made of cash. Fucking asinine.
People with low IQ's think that's funny. Most Americans have low
IQ's. American ad agencies need to keep their clients happy by
appealing to the biggest possible audience. It all makes sense,
unfortunately.

It ain't easy trying to relax when these ads are on. They really mess
with your psyche. First they should you something that looks like a good
ole' B&W film but then suddenly it turns out to be something else. It's
like marrying a "woman" and then -- when you least expect it -- finding
out that "she" is actually a guy. It's very upsetting.
BTW that disheveled celebrity bastard is not at all funny. I think that
ad is just as irritating as their Chatty Cathys and Beverly Hillbillies
ads. I feel like jumping into the screen and setting fire to that
celebrity's hair. "Mashed potatoes woohoooyiee-ee-ee-ee fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
That guy really looks like he bathes in his kakaa.
Green Xenon [Radium]
I don't mind their Cavemen ads. But the three I've mentioned are really
annoying. It's like listening to some immature spoiled-rotten brat
trying to sing when it's obvious that he/she cannot sing properly. It's
painful.

That cabbage patch farthole is another one of geico's very annoying ads.
It's all boils down to "it's believed he changed his car insurance to
geico". It's so repetitive and hence irritating. Whenever I see any
similar ad, there is something in it that causes me to properly foretell
that its a geico ad. So irritating and so pre-dick-table.

I am not complaining about the geckos because those ads are not
annoying. Sure the gecko talks -- which is not possible in real-life --
but I don't find it irritating because the ad doesn't mess with your
psyche like their "Beverly Hillbilly" and "Chatty Cathy" ads. In
addition, the geckos adds don't have the annoying histrionics of the
geico ads where there is a "paid celebrity", like the ad in the 2nd
youtube link I posted.
I just hate those "paid celebrity" geico ads.

I liked the cavemen ones (Roast duck with mango salsa), until they ran

Gotta admit though, the Gecko is better than the three ads I've

I'll explain for the benefit of those who might be tempted to take what
you say seriously.
The "Chatty Cathy" commercial is satire aimed at those who remember the
doll. They also have one for Cabbage Patch dolls.
The "Little Richard" commercial is pretty annoying, but it is part of a
series of satirizing the idea of celebrity spokesmen.
The "Beverly Hillbillies" commerical is satire aimed at those who
remember the TV series. They also have one starring The Flintstones.
All of these commercials are aimed at one segment of the insurance
market, which also happens to be the most profitable for insurance
companies; folks aged 50+

If that was Jed Clampett did they have laptop or desktops back in the
early 60's. I don't think so.

If that's how you "read" those ads, then you're missing the point of
the ads. The cards can be automatically read (and your card balance
deducted) without wasting time at a cash register. When you're
standing in the express line, don't you want to "get in, get out, and
get on with it?"

You don't recognise the Beverly Hillbillies' Jed Clampett?? Evidently you
are not intelligent enough to understand the joke. The whole point of those
ads is irony. Look it up. Just admit that you don't get it. It doesn't
indicate there is no meaning, just because YOU don't get it.

Oh you mean the "clever "ads that include a lot of physical humor and sexual
innuendo? I'll wait while you look that up too. You obviously misused the
word rudimentary. The Geico ads with their irony are much more sophisticated
than the physical humor you no doubt prefer.

There are times when irony gets annoying. This is one of them. It's like
Geico takes us to be fools who think it was possible in the 60s to
access the internet. Even your average 3rd-grader knows that there was
no net access back then.
Here am I watching "Jeopardy!" -- my favorite game show, then suddenly
the commercials start. I am desperately waiting for the show to return
but wouldn't mind some civilized ads. However, one of those assinine
Gieco shits show up with their annoying historical ironies. Makes me
wanna burn Geico fucktards responsible for those ads with oxyacetylene
flames until their skins look like white foam.
Why don't they just make some nice cavemen and gecko ads? Or the ones
with Indian music they made 9 years ago? Those were so much better than
the Bevy Hillbilly, Chatty Cathy Dolls, Cabbage Patch, and those "paid
celebrity" ads.
I hate their "paid celebrity" ads with an extreme passion. Makes me
wanna burn them and the "celebrities they hire". Burn then until their
skin is as white as snow and as foamy as an rabid kid's mouth.

I am *not* having a good time. However, it temporarily decreases my
irritability to express my opinions on such crappy ads.
Geico deserves to be covered in stinky human kakaa. The kakaa should
then be ignited. I want them to feel the pain they cause me. I want them
to squirm around in agony as those orangish-yellow,
cheddar-cheese-colored flames scorch their skins into white foam.
I am not against all of Geico. Just the scumbags who make those crappy
commercials.
As I said before, I have nothing against against their caveman/gecko
ads. It's just those historical and "paid celebrity" ads that piss me off.
Those who are involved in those disgusting ads deserve punishment.
Extremely painful thermal punishment.
They should be forced to go on a diet of:
A. Stale fat-free cheddar cheese
B. Lentils -- "dhal"
C. Sticky fig newtons
D. Farty cauliflower
E. Their thick foamy spit
F. Each others' foamy thick spit
G. Thick stinky nonfat/lowfat milk -- thickness results from removing a
significant amount of H20 molecules -- via boiling the milk -- until the
milk develops the viscosity of human spit.
H. The stinky human kakaa foam which stinks like the stinky thick,
foamy, tickly, itchy, hissy, sticky, terrifying, disgusting, annoying
diarrhea kakaa foam of a human who eats stale, fat-free cheddar cheese,
lentils -- "dhal", thick stinky nonfat/lowfat milk, sticky fig newtons,
farty cauliflower, and thick-spit-foam-of-humans along with his/her kakaa.
2. They should be made to bathe in contents A to H while those contents
are super-heated in a large container. These sick scumbags should be
forced to remain in the scorching hot, sticky, stinky contents until
they die of pain-induced shock. Thermal burns are extremely painful --
probably the most painful of all injuries. This excruciating pain can
kill -- via neurogenic shock -- if the victim isn't removed from the
heat source in time. The stench will most likely exacerbate the shock
reaction.
In the event that they survive the above two -- and with their pain
perception intact, they should be further punished in a manner that is
most physically-painful as possible.
Those who are involved in making the chatty cathy ads, cabbage patch,
and other historical and/or “paid celebrity” ads are sick scum. Anyone
who is part of the scumgang who made that acronym deserves to be
punished. He/she should be put through the following scenario on a hot
and dry day -- in which the sky has few high white clouds [no grey or
low clouds] scattered around -- at about 11:00 AM of that day:
1. All his/her voluntary muscles [and their fibers] -- excluding
breathing muscles but including speech muscles -- should be relaxed to a
state of total paralysis [no amount of stimulation (whether neural or
direct electric stimulation of the muscle fibers) should be able to
cause these muscles to contract or "un-relax"]. This will make him/her
unable to move or vocalize.
2. While his/her breathing muscles should not be paralyzed, his/her
voluntary control of them should be totally lost [this means that
his/her autonomic nervous system will have complete control over his/her
respiration].
3. The motor nerves supplying his/her voluntary muscles -- including
speech muscles but excluding breathing muscles -- should also be relaxed
into total paralysis [these motor nerves should be hyper-polarized] and
unable to "un-relax".
4. His/her entire autonomic nervous system [and their effectors],
his/her heart's natural pacemaker, his/her tear-production, his/her
natural pain-relieving -- and stress-relieving -- mechanisms, smooth
muscles [including those in the respiratory system], endocrine,
hormonal, inflammatory, lysosomal, and immune systems should remain
totally unresponsive to the infliction of even the most excruciating
pain, totally unresponsive to any type of injury [regardless of
severity], and totally unresponsive to any emotion or psychological
state [regardless of intensity].
5. The parts of his/her brain that deal exclusively with movement,
contraction/relaxation of all voluntary muscles [including speech
muscles but excluding breathing] muscles should also be relaxed into a
state of hyperpolarization.
6. The parts of his/her brain that deal solely with voluntary -- but not
involuntary -- control of breathing should also be relaxed into
hyperpolarization.
7. All pain reflexes -- somatic and visceral -- should be totally paralyzed.
8. All psychological protective mechanisms should be completely
disabled.* [See notes on psychological protective mechanisms]
9. All mechanisms that decrease consciousness as a result of pain should
be disabled. Here is an example of that mechanism:
Quote from http://www.internetarmory.com/self_defense.htm :
"It is speculated that various organs of the body can send pain impulses
to the brain stem indicating a severe or overwhelming bodily injury. The
reticular activating system responds by producing a functional "shut
down", which results in loss of consciousness within a second or two."
Once again this mechanism should be completely disabled.
10. Any mechanisms that specifically allow emotions, will, or
psychological states to alter any perceptions -- including pain
perception -- should be completely disabled.
11. All parts of his/her body contain VRL-1 nerve-endings -- in which
those VRL-1 functions as thermal pain receptors -- should be scorched
with smokeless, charless, sootless, ashless, emberless, non-toxic,
clean, non-polluting, orangish-yellow oxyacetylene flames until his/her
body is completely dehydrated from the flame's heat.** [See notes on
VRL-1 nerves]
The flame burn injuries will cause severe dehydration and loss of blood
volume by heating up the skin's water and causing it to evaporate. Shock
sets in as the blood continues to thicken. After 2 immeasurably-long
hellish hours the scumslime who is involved in making those sick ads
will most likely die. The sick fuck will be in SO much pain and distress
yet totally unable to express any hint of it; not even a single tear
drop will be shed from his/her eyes. Such cold-hearts deserve such fates
to heat up their coldnesses. It's called "eye for an eye."
*Psychological protective mechanisms :
http://jnnp.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/71/suppl_1/i18 quotes :
"In psychogenic coma the eyelids are kept firmly shut and are resistant
to opening. Oculocephalic responses are unpredictable though nystamus is
evident on caloric testing. Motor tone is normal or inconsistent and
limb reflexes retained. Other physical signs based on reflex self
protection have been used in this syndrome though their validity has not
been formally assessed. The EEG shows awake rhythms."
Quotes from
"Pseudocoma, also known as psychogenic unresponsiveness or feigned
coma,is difficult to diagnose and should be based on a diagnosis of
exclusion because, if true coma is overlooked, the result could be
disastrous.
Therefore, all patients with coma suspected of being psychogenic in
origin must undergo thorough evaluation until the diagnosis is clearly
established. A conversion reaction and malingering are the most common
causes of pseudocoma."
"It is important to remember that none of the historical data absolutely
include or exclude the possibility of pseudocoma. However, there are
some clinical findings suggestive of psychogenic origin, such as
conditions precipitated by stress. Pseudocoma usually begins or persists
when an observer is present. Patients with pseudocoma slump to the floor
and protect themselves from hitting their heads and other body parts."
"During examination, patients with pseudocoma usually make
semipurposeful avoiding movements. They have normal pupils, corneal
reflexes and plantar reflexes. They may keep their eyes firmly shut and
resist the opening of the eye by examiners. Because eyelid tone cannot
be changed at will, in patients with true coma passive eyelid opening is
easy and is followed by slow eyelid closure. Blinking also increases in
feigned coma, but decreases in true coma. Passive eye opening in a
sleeping or an actually comatose person results in mydriasis if the
pupillary reflex mechanisms are intact. Conversely, opening the eyes of
a person who is awake produces miosis. The eyes roll up when the lids
are raised, known as Bell's phenomenon as mentioned before, in patients
with psychogenic pseudocoma, while the eyes remain in the neutral
position in patients with real coma. Roving eye movements cannot be
imitated and their presence indicates true coma. In contrast, voluntary
saccadic eye movements seen in feigned coma are usually faster and
briskly with a well-defined endpoint. Pseudocoma patients may respond
with purposeful movement to painful stimulation and avoid unpleasant
stimuli such as a nasal tickle. The presence of nystagmus during cold
caloric testing suggests that coma is either feigned or hysterical,
because nystagmus requires an intact cerebral cortex and brainstem.
Additionally, cold water caloric stimulation is noxious and can induce
nausea and vomiting, or awakening in patients with psychogenic coma."
"Similarly to patients with pseudoparalysis, the hands of patients with
pseudocoma do not often hit their face when dropped. However, the
diagnostic validity of this kind of self-protection sign has not been
evaluated convincingly. Furthermore, unethical provocative maneuvers,
such as dropping alcohol in the nostrils or olfactory stimulation using
ammonium, should not be used to induce responsiveness in patients deemed
to be in feigned coma."
Quotes from
http://www.memorylossonline.com/glossary/psychogenicamnesia.html :
"Psychogenic amnesia (also called functional amnesia) is a form of
amnesia which occurs in otherwise healthy people -- i.e., it is not the
result of a brain injury. It involves loss of important personal
information. Another term for this condition is functional amnesia."
"In one form of psychogenic amnesia, called fugue state, individuals may
forget not only their pasts but their very identities. Despite the many
Hollywood movies depicting this phenomenon, fugue state is extremely
rare in real life. Fugue state normally resolves with time, particularly
with the help of therapy."
"A more common form of psychogenic amnesia is dissociative amnesia. In
this state, an individual may experience memory loss which is restricted
to a particular period of time, such as the duration of a violent crime.
This memory loss is too extensive to be explained by ordinary
forgetting, and instead may reflect the fact that the information is too
stressful or traumatic to be remembered. Dissociative amnesia is a
psychological phenomenon, rather than a physiological one, and may often
be resolved with the help of therapy."

**VRL-1 nerves:
http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/P/Pain.html
TRPV2 (also called VRL-1) responds to temperatures above 52 Celsius.
"Painfully hot"
VR-1 responds to capsaicin. VRL-1 does NOT. There is a world of difference.
VRL-1 responds only to "painfully hot"
VR-1 responds to hot, chili, and acids.
Once again, there is a BIG difference between VR-1 and VRL-1. Read the
quotes from
http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/P/Pain.html :
"TRPV1 (also known as VR1) = Hot (>43 Celsius). Also activated by
capsaicin, the active ingredient of hot chili peppers, by camphor, and
by acids (protons)."
"TRPV2 (also called VRL-1) = Painfully hot (>52 Celsius)"
http://www.islandnet.com/~yesmag/brain/brainbump.php?id=95
"VR1 for hot, and VRL1 for super hot."
In the skin, VRL-1 serves as a thermal nociceptor. However in the
viscera, lungs and other internal organs, VRL-1 has a totally different
purpose.
So dermal VRL1-excitation is significantly more painful than VR1
excitation. This is why thermal burns are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much more
agonizing than acid-burns of the same depth. This is also why
"temperature hot" is a lot more algogenic than "chili hot". All cuz of
those nasty VRL-1s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, these scumfoam-ad-making bullies deserve to roast alive over a
cheese-colored fire.
A flaming suit [device that aims flames at the bully's skin] should be
custom-built to fit the size and shape of the bully after he/she has
gone through the steps 1-10, I described. The flame suit fits the entire
body of the bully. Right after steps 1-10, the bully is stripped
completely naked -- to prevent smoke-inhalation from ignited clothing.
Only then is he/she put into the flame suit. Then the flaming starts and
his/her skin turns to white blistering foam, even if the bully is
dark-skinned. In fact, the burn wounds are far more apparent in a
dark-skinned individual because his/her skin is mostly dark while the
burn wounds are white due to thermal denaturation of the skin's
pigments. The flames are made by smoothly igniting oxyacetylene and then
feeding it the through the flame suit. Sodium ions are mixed with the
oxyacetylene to give the flames a terrifying
orangish-yellow--reddish-pink color.
Once the body is completely dehydrated, the flames are turned off, and
the bullying-scumfoam is left to die under the afternoon sun outdoors.
Well, actually, all of this occurs outdoors in the type of weather I
described.
The bully will be in excruciating pain and will want to die. In about
120 minutes, his/her wish will surely be answered, as dehydration
reaches fatal extents. The area in which he/she suffers in dies should
be a sandy open area. So right after the fire, put him/her in the dirty
dusty sand.
The color of the flame, and the weather will only add to the horror of
the burn injuries. All the other bullies should be made to watch as this
bully dies his/her slow, painful, yet sure death before it's their turn
to be punished.
Not to mention, the burn wounds look like white foam. This
characteristic appearance is terrifying and sickening to most viewers.
However, these wounds still not nearly as scary as the color and shape
of the flames.

of State for the Colonies; and he and other advisers recommended that
no prosecutions in connection with "adoption" and "domestic servitude"
should be instituted, pending the receipt of instructions from the
Home Government. The Chief Justice concurred in these views, and also
suggested that the Chinese be told that no prosecutions as to the past
should take place, but that in future, in every case where _buying and
selling_ occurred in connection with adoption or domestic service, the
Government would undoubtedly prosecute.
The replies that came from the Secretary of State indicated scant
sympathy with Sir John Smale's position. His action was likely to
disturb the system of regulation of vice at Hong Kong, and these
health measures were in high repute with that official at London. He
could not sympathize with the Governor's view that laws securing the
freedom of the women were to be executed, whatever the result to the
brothel system. He wrote in reply as though Sir John Smale had said
many things that had not been put in the same light, demanded to know
what law could be put into operation to improve conditions, and wished
to know if Sir John Smale accepted Dr. Eitel's views on "domestic
servitude," and later he wrote pronouncing the views expr

ports. Therefore these kidnapers frequent Hong Kong much, it being
a place where it is easy to buy and to sell, and where effective
means are at hand to make good a speedy escape. Now, the laws
of Hong Kong being based on the principle of the liberty of the
person, the kidnapers take advantage of this to further their own
plans. Thus they use with their victims honeyed speeches, and give
them trifling profits, or they use threats and stern words, all in
order to induce them to say they are willing to do so and so. Even
if they are confronted with witnesses it is difficult to show up
their wicked game.... Kidnaping is a crime to be found everwhere,
but there is no place where it is more rife than at Hong Kong....
Now it is proposed to publish everywhere offers of reward to track
such kidnapers and have them arrested.... The crimes of kidnaping
are increasing from day to day."
This proposal on the part of Chinese merchants to form such a society
was cordially accepted by officials, and the Governor requested that
two police magistrates, whom he named, the Captain Superintendent of
Police and Dr. Eitel, should draw up a scheme to check kidnaping, in
concert with the Chinese petitioners. This committee met, and decided
that the objects of the "Chinese Society for the Protection of Women
and Children" should he as follows:
1. The detection and suppression of kidnapers and kidnaping. 2.
The restoration to their homes of women and children decoyed
or kidnaped for prostitution, emigration, or slavery. 3. The

she had seen him there before as a friend of Tai Yau. Is it not quite
likely it was from him she borrowed the money? He was the kind of man
whose profession would lead him to hang around the Registrar's court
in order to get on the track of unlicensed women and to get them in
his power. If such were the case, and she owed him money, she would be
terribly in his power.[A] She went away with him to the feast near
by at No. 9 Lyndhurst Terrace, and at twelve o'clock she returned in
company with A-Nam and a strange man. Mrs. Lau was up and worshipping
in her room. She came and said to Tai Yau: "Who is this?" seeing the
strange man sitting on a chair. "What is this strange man doing here?"
Tai Yau replied, "Oh, he is a shopman and is my husband."
[Footnote A: Chief Inspector Whitehead testified before the
Commission: "When an unlicensed brothel is broken up the women have to
resort in most cases to prostitution for a living." Though the wrong
done Tai Yau had been "against her will," yet it had brought her into
court upon the charge of being a "common prostitute," and thrown her
heavily into debt. It is not unlikely she now found it almost beyond
her power to resist becoming enslaved as a prostitute.]

healthy moral sentiment created among the Chinese, through Sir John
Smale's endeavor, that promised much good for the future had his
course of action been continued. This official planted his feet
squarely upon the doctrine that all buying and selling of human beings
was slavery, and that a human being cannot, in law, "become a slave,
even by his own consent." And moreover this official, with Governor
Hennessey's encouragement, prosecuted his cases without any tender
consideration as to the demands of European libertines, who would be
left with scant opportunities to be self-indulgent unless slaves were
placed at their disposal. The truth is, from the foreign standpoint,
the plea for brothel slavery was based upon the "necessity" of vice,
and from the Chinese standpoint the plea for slavery was based upon
so-called Chinese "custom." The Government was impressed that it must
have consideration for the demands of libertines, and consideration
for Chinese "custom." Neither of these arguments has any worth when
applied to the slave conditions of California, and therefore the most
serious, baffling obstacles to a removal of the evil are out of the
way. Both pretexts, we maintain, were false. There is no necessity for
furnishing vice to libertines; there was no lawful Chinese custom to
be opposed in opposing brothel slavery. But even if these were claimed
to be sufficient arguments across the water, they have no force in
California. There are women, alas! willing to make a trade of their
virtue for _their own gain_, without forcing Chinese women to make a
trade of their virtue for _the gain of masters_. As to Chinese custom:
America is not setting forth inducements for the Chinese to come and
live in our midst, as did Sir Charles Elliott when he promised the

No. 3. The rescuer was requested to meet a girl at the corner of
Stockton and Jackson streets. She did so. K---- Y---- was comely
and refined looking. She had been sold into a brothel at a tender
age. When about 22 she met a young Chinese man who wished to marry
her, and he paid down $600 for her, promising $1,400 more in time.
Another man objected to the sale, because the girl had mortgaged
herself to him for $600. Through the Mission the girl was released
from her bondage, and remained at the Mission one year and then
married the first man, and they left San Francisco and resided for
a time in an inland town. Here an effort was made to kill her in
her own garden one evening. Her husband brought her back to San

womanhood. Whether we wish it to be so or not,--whether we perceive
from the first that it is so or not, there is a solidarity of
womanhood that men and women must reckon with. The man who wrongs
another's daughter perceives afterwards that he wronged his own
daughter thereby. We cannot, without sin against humanity, ask the
scoffer's question, "Am I my sister's keeper?"--not even concerning
the poorest and meanest foreign woman, for the reason that _she is
our sister_. The conditions that surround the Hong Kong slave girl in
California are bound in time to have their influence upon the social,
legal and moral status of all California women, and later of all
American womanhood.
In considering the life history of the Chinese woman living in our
Chinatowns in America, therefore, we are studying matters of vital
importance to us. And in order to a clear understanding of the matter,
we must go back to the beginning of the slave-trade which has brought
these women to the West.

family, they offered to sell them women and girls, and the British
seem to have purchased them at first, but afterwards they modified the
practice to merely paying a monthly stipend. All slavery throughout
British possessions had been prohibited only a few years before the
settlement of Hong Kong, in 1833, when 20,000,000 pounds had been
distributed by England as a boon to slave-holders.
Hong Kong's first Legislative Council was held in 1844, and its first
ordinance was an anti-slavery measure in the form of an attempt to
define the law relating to slavery. It was a long process in those
days for the Colony to get the Queen's approval of its legislative
measures, so that a year had elapsed before a dispatch was returned
from the Home Government disallowing the Ordinance as superfluous,
slavery being already forbidden, and slave-dealing indictable by law.
On the same day, January 24th, 1845, the following proclamation was
made: "Whereas, the Acts of the British Parliament for the abolition
of the slave trade, and for the abolition of slavery, extend by their
own proper force and authority to Hong Kong: This is to apprise all
persons of the same, and to give notice that these Acts will be

family relations of any kidnaped person, who would see to such persons
being restored to their families upon guarantee being given for proper
treatment; and in cases where restoration was impossible or not
advisable, they would take charge of such kidnaped persons, maintain
them, and eventually see them respectably married. It was then decided
that the Magistrates present should draw up a succinct statement of
the provisions of the British law forbidding the sale of persons and
guaranteeing the liberty of the subject, which should be translated
into Chinese, and circulated freely in the neighboring districts.
Although the action on the part of the Chinese merchants in forming
themselves into an organization to put down kidnaping was received
with much appreciation by the Governor and Secretary of State at
London, as well as by many of the officials at Hon' Kong, there were
those who from the first doubted whether the motives of the Chinese in
thus uniting were wholly disinterested on the part of the majority.
Such were confirmed in their doubts by the action of these same
Chinese as soon as Sir John Smale set to work in earnest to
exterminate slavery, and declared in his court a year later than the
formation of this Chinese Society:
"I was given to understand that buying children by respectable
Chinamen as servants was according to Chinese customs, and that to
attempt to put it down would be to arouse the prejudices of the
Chinese.... Humanity is of

this river, but, besides their use as brothels, they became stocked
with little girls under training for vice, under the incitement of an
ever-growing slave trade. These little girls were bought, stolen or
enticed from the mainland by these river people, to swell the number
of their own children destined to the infamous slave trade. Chinese
law forbids this kind of slavery, but, as we have seen, the Tanka
people were sort of outlaws, the river life facilitated such a
business, and Hong Kong was near at hand.
In later years Dr. Eitel, Chinese interpreter to the Governor, stated:
"Almost every so-called 'protected woman,' i.e. kept mistress of
foreigners here, belongs to the Tanka tribe, looked down upon and kept
at a distance by all the other Chinese classes. It is among these
Tanka women, and especially under the protection of these 'protected'
Tanka women, that private prostitution and the sale of girls for
concubinage flourishes, being looked upon as a legitimate profession.
Consequently, almost every 'protected woman' keeps a nursery of
purchased children or a few servant girls who are being reared with
a view to their eventual disposal, according to their personal
qualifications, either among foreigners here as kept women, or among
Chinese residents as their concubines, or to be sold for export to
Singapore, San Francisco, or Australia. Those 'protected women,'
moreover, generally act as 'protectors' each to a few other Tanka
women who live by sly prostitution."
When once a man enters the service of Satan he is generally pressed
along into it to lengths he did not at first intend to go. So it
proved in the case of many foreigners at Hong Kong. The foreigner
extended his "protection" to a native mistress. That "protected woman"
extended his name as "protector" over the inmates of her secret
brothel; and into that house protected largely from official
interference, purchased and kidnaped gir

Hong Kong and sold me to a woman; saw the money paid, but do not
know how much; it looked a great deal. This was 3 years ago. The
woman promised my mother to make me her own daughter, and little
did my mother know I was to be a slave, to be beaten and abused by
a cruel mistress. My mother cried when she left me; it was very
hard to part. The big ship, 'City of Pekin,' took me soon out of
sight. I have heard that she is now dead. On arriving we did not
come ashore immediately. I was landed after 4 days. There was
trouble in landing me. I had a red paper, bought at Hong Kong,
that they called a certificate, and there was trouble about it.
The woman who bought me had no trouble getting ashore because she
had lived in California before. She told me what I was to say when
I was questioned. She told me I must swear I was her own daughter.
The Judge asked, 'Is this your own mother?' and I said, 'Yes.'
This was a lie, but I did not know it was wrong to do as I was
told, and I was afraid of my mistress. The Judge said, 'Did this
woman give you birth?' and I said, 'Yes.' The Judge said, 'Did
anybody tell you to say all this?" and I said, 'No,' because my
mistress had instructed me how to answer this question, if it was
asked me. She taught me on ship-board what to say if I was taken

coolie labor is managed by the same set of officials. What these
officials have done has been accepted by the Oriental people about
them as done by the Christian civilization. It cannot be said that the
evils mentioned above have been the outgrowth of Oriental conditions
and customs, principally. It has been rather the misfortune of
the Orient that there were brought to their borders by Western
civilization elements calculated to induce their criminal classes to
ally themselves with these aggressive and stronger "Christians" to
destroy safeguards which had been heretofore sufficient, for the most
part, to conserve Chinese social morality.
Christian people, even as far back as Sir John Bowring, Governor
of Hong Kong, and up to the present time, both at Hong Kong and
Singapore, have acquiesced in the false teaching that vice cannot be
put under check in the Orient, where, it is claimed, passion mounts
higher than in the Occident, and that morality is, to a certain
extent, a matter of climate; and in the presence of large numbers of
unmarried soldiers and sailors it is simply "impracticable" to attempt
repressive measures in dealing with social vice. These Christians

except that the inmates of brothels licensed for foreigners are
subject to compulsory medical examination, and consequently far
more despised by their countrymen and even other prostitutes."
"Prostitutes in Europe are, as a general rule, fallen women,
the victims of seduction, or possibly of innate vice. Being the
outcasts of society, and having little, if any, prospect of being
again admitted into decent and respectable circles of life,
deprived also of their own self-respect as well as the regards
of their relatives, occasionally even troubled with qualms of
conscience, they mostly dread thinking of their future, and seek
oblivion in excesses of boisterous dissipation. The Chinese
prostitutes of Hong Kong are an entirely different set of
people.... Very few of them can be called fallen women; scarcely
any of them are the victims of seduction, according to the English
sense of the term, refined or unrefined. The great majority of
them are owned by professional brothel-keepers or traders in women
in Canton or Macao, have been brought up for the profession, and
trained in various accomplishments suited to brothel life.... They
frequently know neither father nor mother, except what they call
a 'pocket-mother,' that is, the woman who bought them from
others.... They feel of course that they are the bought property
of their pocket-mother or keeper, but they know also that this is
the feeling of almost every other woman in China, liable as each
is to be sold, by her own parents or relatives, to be the wife or

be a warning to the fact that even the most religious men can too
often hold very different views of life according to whether they are
embodied in religious sentiments or in one's politics. But nowhere are
right moral conceptions more needed (not in hymn-book nor in church),
as in the enactments by which one's fellow-beings are governed. Other
religious men not so conspicuous as Sir John Bowring, but of more
enlightened days than his, have died and left on earth a testimony to
strangely divergent views and principles, according to whether they
were crystallized in religious sentiments, or in the laws of the land,
and according to whether they legislated for men or for women.
On May 2nd, 1856, Sir John Bowring, Governor of Hong Kong, wrote to
the Secretary of State for the Colonies at London submitting a draft
of an Ordinance which was desired at Hong Kong because of certain
conditions prevailing at Hong Kong which were described in the
enclosures in his despatch. Mr. Labouchere, the Secretary of State for
the Colonies at the time, replied to the Governor's representations
in the following language: "The Colonial Government has not, I think,
attached sufficient weight to the very grave fact that in a British
Colony large numbers of women should be held in practical slavery for
