Appearances in Popular Culture
After the event, Chong made a host of media appearances, including The Jerry Springer Show, and The Girlie Show (Channel 4)
This event also prompted author Chuck Palahniuk to write a novel, Snuff, about a fictional character who aimed to surpass Chong's record by having sex with 600 men.
In her March 2000 appearance on the radio program Loveline, Chong admitted that there were slightly fewer than 70 men in her gang bang and that there were water and lunch breaks during the 10-hour time span. For her performance, Chong earned a "dubious achievement award" in Esquire magazine.
In 2007, a play written by Ng Yi-Sheng based on her story, 251, was staged in Singapore, directed by Loretta Chen.
