Somebody’s watching you … A hotel in Japan is offering a guest room for 100 yen – that’s 92 cents -- per night. The catch? Anyone staying in room number 8 must agree to a 24-hour livestream of their stay on the hotel’s youtube channel. This great "deal" offered by the Business Ryokan Asahi in Fukuoka, Japan, is available year-round. (Insider)

Well, this is … different. A bar in Dubai is giving free drinks to women – based on their weight. Apparently the more the woman weighs, the more free drinks she gets. The Fusion Club has a scale on hand so that women can weight themselves – or, if they’d rather, they can simply write their weight on a piece of paper and give it to the bartender. A spokesman for Fusion Club said the bar "wanted the ladies to surprise their partners and friends that it's good to gain weight!"Sigh. (Insider)
