Government of Canada selling used thongs

The government of Canada is desperate to get rid of its budget deficit and its selling everything including the kitchen sink in an effort to balance the books.

Thus any Crown assets, including seized or forfeited property, is being sold off... including used thong underwear. Its all about prettying up the bottom line.

Seized property includes items gained through police seizure, tax evasion seizure, and so forth.

In 2010 the Canadian government sold a mere $14 million in Crown assets.

The Public Works and Services Canada’s auction website is currently displaying a range of sexy thongs that come in pink, magenta, violet, blue, silvery black, white and nude. The lingerie items are advertised "as is" and "like new".

And they're apparently selling like ice cream cones on a hot day. ie. One box of 10 panties sold for $50. Another box containing 14 bras sold for $171.99.

Some of the thongs still have the original tags on them and some have never been worn. The thongs were seized from stolen from an Ottawa lingerie boutique, recovered by the Ottawa Police, but never returned to the shop because they had already been covered by the store’s insurance company

Thus the police handed the thongs over to the federal public works department.

The sale of stolen/seized property results in a small commission for Public Works, and another % is re-invested in educational programs targeted towards reducing crime. The rest goes towards trying to balance Canada's budget.

Buyers are anonymous and protected by privacy laws.

Unlike eBay and similar auction sites bids aren't posted until after the sale is made. Its a silent auction and there are plenty of deals to be had.

Unfortunately shipping is not included. You have to pick up, pack and ship the items within 5 days of getting the winning bid.

The Conservative Party is also thinking of selling the CN Tower in Toronto, but only if the Conservatives can get re-elected. No word on whether that will also be a silent auction.

Funny Shirt, 36-24-36

It is tricky to read, but the shirt says:

36-24-36

This Isn't My Size...

It's How Many Beer, Wine

Coolers And Shots I Need To

Even Talk To you!!

Any girl who buys this shirt clearly....

Has a sense of humour.

Likes alcohol.

Doesn't want jerks around her.

And any men dumb enough to try and get her drunk clearly fall into the jerk category.

Which means they are not worth talking to.

How to dress like a hoser, 4 Photos of Fashion Icon Peter Nygard

Here is an interesting topic for you if you like reading about celebrity fashion crimes.

How to dress like a hoser - while being a billionaire moron like Peter Nygard.

This is actually quite funny. You see Peter Nygard owns a women's fashion empire called Nygard International (don't buy from it, it is mostly sweatshop clothing) and lives in a James Bond mansion in the Bahamas complete with shark tanks and rumours of dead girls he fed to the sharks.

But in real life Peter Nygard doesn't really know how to dress himself.

Just look at the photos below and you realize that he really is clueless when it comes to men's fashion.

No shortage of arm candy here. Peter Nygard is renowned for his arm candy and treating women like prostitutes. But look at his hair up above? He looks like an aging rocker, and the clothes? He looks like he is trying to mix rugged jackets from the old west with foppish costumes and make it a tuxedo at the same time. And it has SHOULDER PADS, which suggests he is too fat and has weak shoulders. (George W. Bush also wore shoulder pads because he had weak shoulders.)

Yes, okay, it is the Bahamas. But do we really need to see his shaved hairless chest with saggy manboobs? Not sexy, not attractive, and what is that blurry thing on his left? Not sure, looks like stitching, but if it is meant to be a logo it is not well designed.

More arm candy. Except now he is wearing an armless shirt saying Nygard Cay 1. How much of a lame egotist do you have to be that you wear a shirt promoting your own home? The shirt reveals his saggy manboobs, his sagging gut and his skinny arms. Not attractive at all.

Below he has grey chest hair and saggy manboobs (and is a bit younger judging by his hair), but the wrinkles still show his age... but what the heck is that grey thing in the corner of his armpits? Is that there for a reason? Why does it need to be grey? He may own a fashion empire, but he is NOT a fashion designer. (And not much of a fashion icon either. Don't say this to his face however, he might feed you to the sharks.)

Instakilt Bath Towel

I just thought this was amusing. It is a bath / beach towel designed to look a kilt.

Hence the name "Instakilt".

I didn't buy one, but I definitely snapped a photo. Perfect for the man on your xmas list!

I wonder what is under his kilt...?
