This Has Got To Be A Marketing Nightmare

    In Poland (where else?), a company is raising funds to produce a special kind of beer, using lactic acid bacteria from the vagina of a Czeck model. (I’d guess they couldn’t find a Polish model who was willing for some brewmaster to be messing about in her vagina.)
    This company has come up with a plethora of sexy (read lewd) marketing phrases, most of which can only be used in adult venues. 
    On a new venture like this funding is always critical. They need $169,989.71 to kick off this product. They’ve been soliciting investors now for six days and have raised $12.47 cents. They don’t need the whole amount for another twenty-five days. 
    Now, let’s do the math. In six days they’ve received investment money at the rate of just a tad over $2 a day, so extrapolating that out, in the next twenty-five days they will have gathered another $51. Just a little short of their goal. That won’t even buy the swabs for gathering this model’s bacteria.
    Just another great idea down the tube for lack of capital. On the other hand, maybe in this case that would be up the tube? How would I know which way this bacteria is inclined to travel? 
    This is all from a report written by Ben Hooper and picked up by UPI.
