Be a walking punchbag

A Chinese businessman has advertised on the Internet for a stand-in mistress to be beaten up by his wife to vent her anger and to protect his real mistress.

"When the woman found out her husband had a mistress, she insisted on beating her up," the Beijing Youth Daily said. More than 10 people had applied for the job. The "successful" candidate would be 35 and originally from northeastern China and would be paid 3000 yuan ($573) per 10 minutes.
