A restaurant in Tokyo has announced that it will refuse to serve couples on Christmas Eve because their happiness would serve to remind single patrons of their loneliness. The owner of PiaPia, a pasta restaurant in the Hachioji suburb of west Tokyo, has placed a handwritten sign in the window of the restaurant that reads, "We will be refusing entry to all couples on December 24, with no exceptions!" The message is accompanied by an outline of a male figure in blue and a female figure in red and a heart with a large red cross through the image. As well as upsetting single patrons, the message suggests that the presence of couples would upset employees having to work on Christmas Eve, adding that romantic duos "would cause severe emotional trauma to members of our staff".

Seems the Japanese know how to market well too.

So if some creep is looking to talk his wife a threesome, here’s a lame excuse. “ Sorry honey,I had to bring Lilli to get reservations”

One would think that after being subjected to the not so happy couples around the Thanksgiving table, they’d be celebrating their singlehood at Christmas.
