This just in from the weird news department...In an effort to curb rising obesity in their school aged children, China has instituted mandatory dancing. Apparently there are 7 distinct sets of steps to be performed by schoolchildren between classes and after school. Parents on the other hand are up in arms (I guess up in feet is more appropriate) over this. They cite they are worried about "increases in cases of 'puppy-love' between children; from dancing with the opposite sex. In a country of 1.3 BILLION I suppose getting randy could cause a problem. The other problem parents state is that there are no alternatives to children who may not particularly like to boogie down. One parent states, (and I swear I couldn't make this up) "Activities like cock-fighting and sandbag-tossing could be suitable...". WOW.... Sandbag-tossing?...... Really?..... If this is their idea of a good time no wonder there are are so many people climbing into bed with each other. For the whole story click HERE.
