Classified of the Week: 30 Henchmen Needed For Film

Beijing's diversity and Internet anonymity make for strange bedfellows. Nowhere is this more true than in our website's Classified Ads section. We've seen it all – and then some. And that doesn't even cover the ads we must disapprove because they just aren't fit for a good, clean, wholesome website like ours.

Ever dreamed of being a trained bodyguard? Do you like kicking ass on screen? Then this ad looking for henchmen might just be your cup of tea.

We've seen ads like this looking for actors for kung fu flicks before – playing the evil foreigner in these low budget Chinese films isn't uncommon. But how often do you get the chance to be part of a trained army of "gangster" body guards?

Even if you don’t feel like doing karate or kicking butt, they are also looking for a few hundred extras.

Here's the original ad:
