Some blondes in Hong Kong certainly do not have more fun. On MTR trains and in crowded public places, fascination with their hair often provokes an unsolicited grope. But the overly vigorous antics of a male pervert left one radio personality in disgusted shock, then embarrassed guffaws as she lodged a formal complaint with police. And she's a brunette.

Asked by a young officer what she had said upon spotting the self-absorbed offender doing his thing, she recalled saying: 'Oh, please!' Somehow, the sarcasm which laced those two words was lost in the translation.

We wonder what the officer made of such a seemingly unusual comment.
