China�s Revolutionary Romance Campaign

In an effort to modernize propaganda, China has launched a dating show where contestants fall in love through Marxist slogans. Eyewitnesses describe awkward flirting like, �You complete my five-year plan.� Contestants win dates not with roses, but with signed copies of Mao�s Little Red Book. �It�s like The Bachelor, but with collectivized emotions,� said one critic. Anonymous staffers revealed the show is produced by the Ministry of Love and Agricultural Planning. A fake poll revealed 48% of citizens are entertained, 32% confused, and 20% taking notes for Valentine�s Day. Economists suggest the program could reduce marriage rates but increase sales of hammers and sickles. For now, state television is thrilled with ratings, proving that nothing says romance like dialectical materialism. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
