I would argue that arresting students who draw on their desks a deterrent is actually a useless policy, in that there is a great risk of the students labeling themselves as criminals or delinquents. If the students see themselves in this way, there is a greater chance that they will commit worse offenses than drawing on their desks, something I believe is a rather minor and common offense.
Besides, if the marker did not wash off, wouldn't it be more logical to have the girl pay for a new desk?
I'm a little surprised at the negativity of the comments. In my mind the piece is a bit like Algernon Charles Swinburne's poetry in that something vulgar or distasteful is presented to the reader/viewer in an aesthetically pleasing way. There is both the emotional shock and repulsion when you realize what you're actually looking at and an intellectual reaction when you try to compromise your horror with the beauty of it.
I watched this with my Chinese roommate in our dorm. She seemed to be a really big fan of China's second chairman, because he "opened up China to the world." Either way, it was an exciting day for her country.
