China shopping centre builds 'car park for women'

A shopping centre in China's Hebei province has built a car park with wider spaces that it says is designed especially to suit women drivers.

The women-only car park in Shijiazhuang city is also painted in pink and light purple to appeal to female tastes.

3. Awww, sweet.

Whereas here we sell larger and larger cars and make the spaces smaller. Compact only....ha ha ha.

5. This certainly begs the question, what does the men's car park look like?

Brown and burgundy, lots of woodgrain, sectioned by sports and tools? Odd-shaped spaces that require considerable driving skill to enter? The Swedish Bikini Team drives around in tricked out ATVs and helps locate cars (everyone knows guys can't navigate) "Hi, I can't find my car; I think I parked in the air-wrench section near the Jerry Springer Pole-Dancing Academy."

7. Uh huh... and they pipe in pizza hut and Krispy Kreme smells from the food court.

Also, it's really more of a lounge area replete with big man couches, wide screen teevees and video games, since guys really only go to the mall to hang and wait for the women to do their thing.
