Alright, I did rant about research on Asia yesterday, but here’s something really funny from China. This is the window display from a Children’s store in Shanghai. It was Halloween, the newest reason for a promotion in China, so what better way than to give horrible pumpkin faces to otherwise adorable baby mannequins. Now, wouldn’t you want your kids to look like this? But then again probably some research company told them poor sods that pumpkin faces on babies were the biggest motivators for parents to buy clothes as proven by a focus group.

Maybe it’s because I am not a Dad, but I find this funny and cute – I don’t know if I’d buy any clothes from the store [well I wouldn't, because I'm not a Dad or a perv] but it’s still quite funny – certainly better than the ‘Cabbage Patch Cute’ that most childrens stores try and use as their window displays.
