http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/06/sex-toy-fools-entire-chinese-village/The discovery of a double-headed sex toy mistaken for a mystical rare fungus brought national notoriety to a Chinese village and TV program this week.
Villagers from Liucunbu, a rural community outside western Chinese city of Xian, encountered the sex toy while drilling a new well shaft. Hard-pressed to identify the flexible, fungi-like object, perplexed residents alerted the local news station, which immediately sent reporter Yunfeng Ye to the scene.
In her coverage of the finding, broadcast last Sunday on the stations investigative journalism program Xian Up Close, Ye thoroughly probed different aspects of the discovery, interviewing locals and inserting her own research on the alleged mushroom. Despite Yes earnest reporting, her and the villagers obliviousness of the objects real identity has now lent itself to national amusement.
The report opens with Ye proclaiming the discovery of the mysterious object, the likes of which not even an 80-year-old local man has seen. Villagers crouch around the object, floating innocently in a water-filled bucket. It has an eye and a nose, but we dont know what it is, says a man who was among the drillers who discovered the sex toy.

One-eyed Siamese trouser trout. I guess that's two-eyes, strictly speaking.
