At first, the headline made me laugh. If you are a corrupt government official, you need to make sure the toilet works properly!
Then, I wondered how wet boxes of cash could be the cause of an overflowing toilet. Unless the guy put them in the toilet for some reason.
Then I went back and read it again, and realized (with horror) that the guy has been sentenced to death for taking bribes.
Holy crap.

China doesn’t fuck around, folks. And I am guessing this story is not the kind of publicity they want at the moment either. But hey, people deserve to know about stuff like this.
