Get laid the easy way -- with bracelets

Lonely (or just plain horny) city residents have taken to a new fad -- wearing bracelets which let people know that you are single (or at least still looking):

According to the man who came up with the idea, a Mr. Wang who goes by the Internet name of "Shooting Star Prince," the bracelets are aimed at white-collars who are too busy working to spend time looking for a partner.

"If you have ever seen someone you liked on the bus or subway but not done anything about it, think what might have happened if you'd both had the bracelets on. If everyone looking for love wears these bracelets, we can really make things happen," said Wang in an online interview.

He makes a fair point, and at least it's a healthier way of choosing your partner than those other crazy efforts.

Something that doesn't quite make sense, or to put it more accurately just sounds plain weird -- dog dating. Around 100 dog owners will meet up to make sure that Fido has someone to share his bone with. Displaced sexual energy, methinks?

In other news that might not make sense, the lovely Jiang Yu (pictured) holds another press conference, gets a new haircut and keeps our hearts stolen. But who said that love had to make sense? Sigh ...
