130,000 inflatable breasts lost at sea
2008-12-05
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.

#4  wonder how long the reporter had to work on his wordsmithing to include 'inflatable' and 'blow' in the first 2 paragraphs.

#2  /on sexist thoughts

Assuming the container really was on the ship when it sailed, what are the chances a ship's crew of all men could have made the container - and the cargo - disappear (separately, of course).

Anybody search the living quarters on the ship?

/off sexist thoughts ;-p

#1  Lost containers are a real hazard at sea, as they are like icebergs, partially submerged and impossible to see at night. I love the irony that pirate boats could be sunk by a bunch of boobs, when the international boobs have put the squeeze on us.
