Down the drain for their ‘idol’

What a waste: A screencap taken from a video clip showing people opening packets of yoghurt drinks and pouring the contents into a drain in China.

A popular Chinese talent competition was suspended after the voting system led to crazed fans wasting yoghurt drinks.

A GROUP of 40 to 50 elderly people were sitting around a huge ditch, busy unpacking stacks of yoghurt drinks and pouring the content into the drain.

Someone captured their act on video and it went viral.
