Chinese Shoppers Go Crazy for Apples Kissed by Flight Attendants

Men in China are going crazy this shopping season as they rush for apples kissed by air hostesses in what some have described as bizarre.

Perverted buyers are rushing apples kissed by supposedly beautiful air hostesses in China. The new trend has seen prices of apples skyrocket as men rush to get the apples advertised to have been kissed by beautiful air hostess.
The ads for these apples show photographs of women dressed like stewardesses – thought to be trainees at Sichuan Southwest Vocational College of Civil Aviation – holding up the apples against their red lips. Some listings even have videos of the women actually kissing the apples.

The marketing strategy is obviously targeted at men, with lines like “take home the kisses of an air hostess.” Some sellers claim their apples have been kissed by as many as 500 stewardesses. Others are offering custom orders, based on buyers’ preferences. The apples are priced between 9.9yuan and 129.9yan ($1.53 to $20) per fruit, depending on the variety, while some shops are putting together ‘kiss hampers’ with apples and Ferrero Rocher chocolates.

According to information obtained from a retailer named, Meng Ling, he said: “We are the Sichuan Southwest Vocational College of Civil Aviation. The income from this ‘air hostess kiss’ campaign will be used to set up a University Student Innovation and Entrepreneurial fund to help more students realise their career dreams.”
“Another portion of the income will be donated to an old people’s home,” he added.
Many men have caught the bug of the new trend and almost every man wants an apple kissed by an air hostess. However, the scheme has met severe criticism as many have complained about the deceptive nature of the advert.
“I was expecting Apple to be one of the best selling products, but not real apples,” an online commentator joked

Obasanjo's Plans for ING

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has set his mind on regime change “by fair or foul means” and is plotting to plunge Nigeria into crisis, presidential spokesman Reuben Abati has said. He was reacting to statements credited to Obasanjo on Saturday that President Goodluck Jonathan was plotting to win the 2015 general election by “hook or crook”. Obasanjo had endorsed Jonathan’s main challenger Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday, but then seemed to backtrack on Thursday. There are insinuations that Obasanjo is not well disposed to Buhari either and would want an interim national government (ING) to be headed by him to midwife new elections in which neither Jonathan nor Buhari would be candidates.
