The Directory: Bar Sanctioned Beat Downs

How many times are drunken brawls started in bars due to frustration, anger, and no safe way to channel all that pent up rage? We'd guess, um, close to all. Thank goodness the thoughtful owners of The Rising Sun Anger Release Bar in Nanjing, China had the foresight to hire a staff you can kick the crap out of.

"The Rising Sun Anger Release Bar in Nanjing, capital of the eastern province of Jiangsu, employs 20 muscled young men as "models" for customers to punch and scream at.
'Customers can specify how they want the models to appear -- they can even appear as women -- and then they are free to give them a sound beating.'"

The bar charges from around six American dollars for the joy of beating the crap out of someone while wasted.

Seems like the kind of place Mel Gibson and Russell Crowe need to hang out.
