Wanted: large-breasted virgins

There’s no such thing as political correctness in China’s help wanted ads.

Even foreign firms have been known to advertise for specific ages, looks and genders, particularly when seeking good-looking women to fill posts. Job descriptions here routinely have height and weight requirements, and those deemed not beautiful enough can be turned away with no recourse.

But the Ministry of Tofu blog reports on one case that might be over-the-top even for China: a company seeking large-breasted virgins for a tea-picking ad.

The requirements: “A prospective employee has to be a woman with no sexual experience, has a bra size of at least C, and has no scar or wound visible on her body with a uniform.”
