“A restaurant in Zhengzhou, China, is experimenting with allowing customers to pay with a new form of currency — their beauty.

Both the beautiful and wannabe hotties are then judged on their appearance by a panel of “experts,” who are actually plastic surgeons the restaurant has some sort of joint promotion agreement with. Those who meet posted standards according to the judges eat at the restaurant, called Jeju Island, for free.

Do you think this type of business would have stood a chance 30 years ago in China? Even 20? This is progress folks. It’s strange, but it’s progress.
