Great lesson.

Now this looks like they are learning about celebrity privilege.

I wouldn't have objected to that either. That said, I have a feeling that once convicted and you're IN Chinese prison, it's a lot harder to do a little hand-wave to get you out. Then it goes from a diplomatic thing to a legal system/extradition thing.

Probably would have done them more good though if they did have to spend some time in a Chinese prison. Maybe then they wouldn't be grown men shoplifting. They're not kids, and they're not even poor. His brother just signed a big contract with the Lakers.
