Massive Breast Loss

(Sydney, Australia) A shipping container carrying 138,000 inflatable breasts left China but failed to arrive in Australia. Theft has been suggested.

The owner of the cargo, magazine editor Santi Pintado, issued a plea for information.

"Unless Somali pirates have stolen them it's difficult to explain where they are."

"If anyone finds any washed up on a beach, please let us know. We want our boobs back."

It's not known whether the breasts were actually stolen or simply lost in transit. Despite the suggestion, stealing inflatable breasts seems improbable since, as high-demand swag, plastic breasts aren't. They were intended to be a give-away item for subscribers to the Australian men's magazine Ralph.

Interestingly, the missing inflatable appurtenances have been valued at about $150,000 (sources quote different numbers) which means that each is worth a few pennies over $1. Obviously, the lost items were not high-end products.

Nevertheless, one question should be asked. Why would inflatable breasts appeal to Aussie men?

Breasts found in Melbourne. The Chinese put them on the wrong boat.

Thanks, Ron.
