Western Australia Today reports:
"More than 130,000 inflatable breasts have been lost at sea en route to Australia.
Men’s magazine Ralph was planning to include the boobs as a free gift with its January issue.
The
cargo is worth about $200,000, which is another blow for publisher
ACP’s parent company PBL, which is already in $4.3 billion of debt.A spokeswoman for Ralph said the container left docks in Beijing two weeks ago but turned up empty in Sydney this week.
The
magazine has put out an alert to shipping authorities to see if they
have the container, but if they don’t turn up in the next 48 hours it
will be too late for the next issue, she said.Ralph editor Santi Pintado urged anyone who has any information to contact the magazine.
"Unless Somali pirates have stolen them its difficult to explain where they are,” Pintado said. "If anyone finds any washed up on a beach, please let us know."
Perhaps they were stolen by blue-footed boobies? It’s great that DSN is keeping abreast of these important issues.
looks like that promotion has gone tits up
heheheheheehe
Miriam, you’re a riot. They might just wash up on a beach in silicon valley.
We all know where they’re gonna end up: the North Pacific Garbage Patch. But at the very least we could get some science out of it – like that rubber ducky recovery project but way more titillating!
