Baby, c'mon and knock me a kiss

chaplinwaxtussaudsshanghai.jpgYou might have to use a line like this, or something similar in whatever language you use with your lover or spouse, in order to get a free ticket to Madame Tussauds wax museum. The Oriental Morning Post reported that from August 28 until September 30, you can buy one ticket and get one free if you demonstrate that you and your partner are in a romantic relationship. There are no official rules as to what gestures you can use, though we expect that quickies are out of the question. In this manner you can save 125 yuan, and the article states that for many a young couple, this is an offer they can't (or don't have good reason to) refuse.

The kiss has proved the most simple and effective method, as simply holding hands or hugging could be faked. On the other hand, since it's still a few months until Christmas and there's no mistletoe in sight, Shanghaiist suggests that if there's someone you've been interested in frenching, you bring them over there.

A clever marketing gimmick. The offer (1) supplies a topic of conversation, and (2) distracts the potential customer bases from asking unnerving questions like, "Wow, a whopping RMB125!", or, "Who wants to see some freaking wax dolls?"

Three cheers, for good marketing is not easy to come by in this inept city!
