In the July 31st, 2009 Canadian edition of
The Epoch Times Daily News, I stumbled across this ad:
粵女徵婚

Translation:

It came with a mugshot of the girl in question. She looked like Hikaru Utada from the cover of her First Love album, except her face and hairstyle are rounder, the camera is pointing slightly down and she is looking slightly up towards it, and has a faint smile across her face. Also notice that the contact number given isn't even Canadian (I'm guessing it's a mainland Chinese number).
Will show you some bread when I get home.
