Extra! Extra! Breast menus, 'real estate babes' and wood

• Something fishy is going on at a restaurant in Changchun, Jilin Province: "At the Zaotaiyu restaurant, when a waitress takes an order, she must bend forward so the patron can stare at her breasts and read the menu. Each sign on each breast bears the names of dishes and prices ... The metal menus are shaped like curved fish, but they look like bras if seen from at a distance. The Zaotaiyu restaurant features fish dishes. More menus are pinned on waitress' backs. So waitresses must keep turning around as a customer keeps ordering. A male customer said he was thrilled at the innovation, but got very uncomfortable when it was his turn to order."
