Woman-Only Venting Store Now Open In China

It's time let go of all your frustration

A mall in Shenyang, China has recently opened a store in a mall for angry women who are searching to let off a little steam. For one whole minute women put on helmets and are allowed to break, smash or trample a range of second hand items, including televisions, cell phones and plates.

The owner of the store, Wang Juingyu, explains that women come to his store to feel like they are in their own home but without any limitations. Furthermore, this effective yet bizarre stress reliever is free for women who have purchased products in the shopping mall's indoor park. It has been reported that many university students and white collared professionals have been known to frequent the store so as to unleash their frustrations about the economy and the lack of jobs within China.

What an interesting concept. Do you think a venting store would be useful for Canadians?
