 "Sorry, we were wrong."

The laundry firm, which orchestrated a publicity stunt on subway Line 2, apologized recently to the public on Weibo. A video of two young women taking their clothes off on a subway car shocked many on the Internet but turned out to be a promotional stunt for the laundry firm. The company admitted in the Weibo post that the two young women and passengers in the video were actors and professional models. They wanted to use an extreme technique to sell their "on call" laundry service. The company said it regretted that its actions had harmed the social conscience and promised that it would not happen again. Police said on their Weibo account that the company was being investigated.
