Kissing planned for Glasto

Match.com is attempting a world record for the most people kissing at once, aiming for 30,000 festival-goers at Glastonbury on Sunday morning.

Plans are afoot to stage the biggest ever kiss off at this year's Glastonbury Festival. Basically organisers want to have the most people kissing in the same place at the same time ever in the history of the world, which sounds like, well, erm, sounds like a cheap publicity stunt for a dating website. Which it is. For Match.com. Organisers hope to persuade 30,000 festival-goers to start kissing in front of the Lost Vagueness stage at 1.30am on Sunday morning. Obviously existing couples are allowed to kiss each other, but I think the idea is anyone up for a snog can show up and find a suitable fellow kisser.

Speaking about the record attempt, Match.com's Jason Stockwood says this: "We're expecting to trounce the current World Record of 6,400 couples, which was set in Hungary this year, by getting all 30,000 people to kiss the person next to them. It's a big feat but we're expecting festival goers to be high on the weekend's proceedings and up for showing their love for life by kissing the person next to them. We're all about making love happen and we're hoping that a few new relationships will be formed as a result of our World Record attempt".
