Chinese man wants sponsors for his chin

Down in the mouth Chang Du is offering to sell advertising space on his giant chin in a bid to raise cash for an op to remove it for good.

Du, 47, from Lishuguo, central China, says the giant basketball-sized swelling started as a tiny pimple inside his mouth just five years ago.



Now Du is trying to raise £5,000 for an operation to restore his chin to normal size by offering it to advertisers for sponsorship.

"I am normally a shy man and stay indoors most of the time because I don't want to frighten people. But without money I can't get this operation so I will do or promote anything to get it," he explained.
