QUIRKY WORLD ... Steamy video sees searches for China clothes store soar

CHINA: Sex may sell, but a steamy video purportedly taken inside a Uniqlo fitting room in Beijing is giving the clothing retailer some uncomfortable attention.

Online searches for the Japanese clothing brand soared this week after the viral spread of the video apparently showing a young couple having sex in the Chinese capital’s flagship store.

But the video also has drawn the concern of police and China’s highest web regulator who are investigating whether it was a vulgar marketing gimmick.
