gisco Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Article Here's a promotion Disneyland is unlikely to copy: A theme park in China is offering a half-price discount to all patrons who show up wearing miniskirts. (All female patrons, that is.) "The stipulation aims to encourage female visitors to showcase their beauty in summer," explained Li Wenxing, deputy manager of the Merry-Land Resort Theme Park in southern China. And once the miniskirted ladies are in the park, other visitors are encouraged to splash them with water — all part of Merry-Land's not-at-all-completely-strange "summer water-splashing festival." Naturally, some nearby residents are trying to pour cold water on the campaign, believing it encourages ladies to "behave erotically" in public I like the part where you are encouraged to splash the ladies!

Meteornotes Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 It's a little after Noon, but I'm going to say that this is the strangest thing I'm going to read all day... dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSum1_55 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Magic Mountain should do this instead of adding a traveling slingshot. Although, I do not think this idea would work in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnychen Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I think I need to make a trip to China now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 We've been discussing this on the China forum...no we are not going to this park. We also decided that their definition of mini-skirts (I believe it was 38cm long) wasn't really that mini! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCJ48 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 15"? That's knee-length. It's unfortunate this would never work in the US. I'm picturing the women's rights groups now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I was at a party with my friend Carol back in my grad-school days, and there were some Chinese students there. We were talking about differences in dress standards between China and the U.S. Carol was wearing a t-shirt and a modest pair of shorts. One of the Chinese girls said to her, in the sweetest way possible, "We would say you dress like prostitute." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I think it would be way cooler if they included drag queens in the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
