Single Chinese rent dates to appease parents during Chinese New Year
Single Chinese have come up with an innovative way to please their parents during the annual Lunar New Year holiday - they are renting fake dates. According to the AFP (“Chinese rent dates to appease parents”), advertisements have been posted all over popular web portals like Baidu.com by young Chinese singles seeking to pay other young men or women to come home with them for the Spring Festival – the most important family holiday in China. One such ad posted on Baidu.com under the headline, "Looking to rent a girlfriend,” read:
500 yuan (73 dollars) a day, you don't have to sleep with me, I can sleep on the floor in the same room, but you have to be a good actress.
Another ad posted on Chinaren.com under the headline, "desperately looking for a girlfriend to go home with me for Chinese New Year,” read:
I haven't yet found a suitable girlfriend and my parents are pushing too hard… I'm searching for a girl around 23 years old (and not more than two years below or above that), 160 to 175 centimeters high, average looking is OK.
To all of the ad posters and single Chinese out there, we would like to simply say: Gung Hay Fat Choy! (and good luck to those who did not find a date!)
“The Hero”: The movie about you or someone you know!
And one of the best guerrilla marketing pieces I have ever seen! Just go to the video’s homepage for the best experience.

The theory behind the diet is that you only eat what our ancestors ate 10,000 years ago. In other words, seasonal fruit, lean meat, fish and very little intake of processed food such as sugar, grains (including bread) or dairy products. However, such a diet is not cheap in New York City with one “caveman” saying that he spends US$70 per day on food.
If you want to learn more about the paleo diet, this video on YouTube describes the “rationale” for the diet:
