#1 Looks like the Chinese have a serious need for "self help" books. Oh, Oprah... Dr. Phil? A HUGE market has a need for you.

#2 Seriously, I once read something similar about a japanese "human punchingbag" renting himself in bars; the guy was basically an out-of-luck ex prof. boxer, I reckon, and his customers were mostly drunken salary men, something he could handle better than the unfortunate occasionnal martial artist or bruiser.

#3 My uncle gave me a punching bag and workout gloves when I was about 14. I'm sure they were the main reason I didn't kill someone before I graduated from high school. Can't beat 'em for stress relief. Picture any face you want on it, and go to it!
