130,000 inflatable jubs missing at sea - Oz mag issues floating chesticle alert

An Australian men's mag has asked beachcombers to keep a sharp eye out for inflatable breasts after 130,000 pneumatic chesticles went awol en route from Beijing to Sydney.

Ralph had intended to to distribute the tits free as a covermount on its January issue, but while the AU$200,000 cargo apparently left China a couple of weeks back, when the container turned up in Sydney the jubs had done a vanishing act.

The magazine's editor Santi Pintado asked anyone with information on the current whereabouts of its freebie to get in touch. He said: "Unless Somali pirates have stolen them its difficult to explain where they are. If anyone finds any washed up on a beach, please let us know.'

While WA Today describes the loss as a "serious blow" for the magazine's owner PBL, which "is already in AU$4.3bn of debt", the disappearance does offer the delicious possibility of a massed mammary beach landing at some point in the future.

In 1992, 30,000 Chinese plastic ducks destined for the US were washed overboard in a ferocious mid-Pacific storm. While some eventually turned up in Oz, many embarked on a 15-year "endless odyssey" of the world's oceans before last year menacing the English coastline. ®
