Pantyhose seller advertises his goods by bouncing his son up and down in one
How could you not buy your next set of pantyhose from this guy, with this sort of marketing?
A pantyhose wholesaler in Sui county, in Henan, central China, has gone viral after stuffing his 8-year-old son into one of his wares to demonstrate its quality:
In the video, he's seen bouncing his eight-year-old son around like a kangaroo, while talking about the hosiery's quality.
The man, Cheng Hongwei, told Sina iPop he thought of making an ad for his pantyhoses over the weekend.
He wasn't planning to post the video online, just to circulate via messaging to his clients. So he figured he'd whip up something to show off the quality, and got his daughter to film it with a phone.
Eventually, one of the recipients thought it was brilliant, and posted it online, where it went viral soon after.
Needless to say, people on Weibo were amazed by Cheng's stunt:
"Sure sure, I'll buy the pantyhose. Now will you please let go of the kid?"
"I thought the kid was a deer!"
If this ad doesn't move more pantyhose, we don't know what will.
