A Whole New Meaning To The Words-" Barfight"

A new bar in eastern China is offering customers an unusual outlet for anger -- by allowing them to use the staff as punching bags, state media said Monday. In addition to getting a drink, customers at the "Rising Sun Anger Release Bar" in Nanjing city are able to pay money to beat up staff, smash glasses, shout and scream, the China Daily said. If these anger management techniques do not work, the customers can also receive psychological counselling, the paper said. The bar employs 20 well-built men in their 20s and 30s who have agreed to be hit. Customers can specify how they want the men to appear -- they can even be dressed up as women, the China Daily said. The bar charges 50 to 300 yuan (6.35 to 37.50 US dollars) for customers to release their anger, depending on their demands. The bar was set up in April by Wu Gong, a 29-year-old man who got his inspiration from similar bars in Japan, according to the paper. Wu insisted the models were fully equipped with protective gear, and the bar gave them regular physical training so they were prepared for the attacks. Also, most customers are women, particularly those working in the service and entertainment companies, such as karaoke bars or massage parlors. The bar has stirred controversy, with some critics interviewed by the China Daily saying that while the idea of beating someone dressed as one's boss might be attractive to some people, violence will not solve problems. Wu may also run into problems with the authorities as he had registered his business as a dancing venue, not a place for anger release, the China Daily said.

" Check Check Re- Check "

Ok, so has anyone ever had one of those " Twilight Zone Moments" ? You know the one moment where you look around the room and ask your self.. " What the hell is going on ? " Does no one else hear or see this? Why is no one reacting to this ? Im sure everyone has had at least one of these moments in time.. Well.. Here's my recent moment in the twilight zone.. Last nite- I went to a martini bar to meet a friend of mine for great conversation and to listen to the house band play.. I got there early ( which I always do, I cant stand to be late for anything ). So, Im sitting at a table in this bar, there are two other tables of people there and some people at the bar. I notice the band members staring to set up. No big deal right ? WRONG !!!! So this band member proceeds to start doing mic checks . Keep in mind there are not one but three microphones set up at this point. He starts the mic check, and keeps going , and going, and going, and going. To the point that I started laughing it was so long. That was mic number one. He proceeds to the 2nd mic. Ok, so this time, I decide Im going to time him, yall, 30 minutes later hes done with the 2nd mic, or so I thought. By this time Im becoming annoyed, he moves to the 3rd mic, thank goodness its almost over, or so I thought again.. He finishes the 3rd mic, and moves back to the first to start the process all over again. For two freckin hours all I heard was check check, yeah, check, yeah... I was waiting for the moaning to start next. So I guess the point to this whole post is, why the hell was no one else even annoyed by this? Then it dawned on me, they are all in a secret microphone checking cult. They have to be...
