Don’t have sex in our gondolas, says Chinese park service

No sex in the gondola room.

If you’ve ever been to China — and who hasn’t these days? — you’ll know that if there’s one thing you want to avoid, it’s the tourist gondolas that go up and down the sides of mountains. Long lines, tons of smoke, crowded cars: It’s an endless parade of annoyances.

Luckily, with the efforts of officials in China’s Henan province, at least one of our pet peeves is over: No longer will people be having sex in the cable cars, if this sign is to be believed.

Truly, if this gondola is a-rockin’, it might fall off its cables and plummet into the ground below.

Apparently gondola-sexing is a problem among Chinese youth, which means maybe we don’t need to worry so much after all.
