In a case of life imitating reality show, a married Chinese businessman held a contest to determine which of his five mistresses he would keep. (He was downsizing, due to the economy like so many are these days. Don't you feel bad for him?)
It went downhill, literally, from there.
One of the mistresses was eliminated based on her looks, according to CNN, and then under the guise of a "sightseeing trip," drove the man and the other four mistresses off a cliff. The driver, Yu, died, and the other passengers were injured. Then word got out about this contest via a letter left by Yu.
(You know there are producers out there crying because they didn't make this a TV show before this bit of ratings gold drama went down, and someone is now writing up a pitch for a series called "Take My Mistress, Please!")
The businessman paid Yu's family $84,744 to compensate for her death.
