An Australian men’s magazine has come under fire for offering readers a “boob job” breast enhancement for their girlfriends.
Zoo Weekly offered reader a prize of A$10,000 ($8,400) for “a boob job for your girlfriend.”
The New South Wales state Gaming and Racing Minister Graham West has ordered an investigation into whether the magazine had broken Lotteries laws which forbid cosmetic surgery being offered as a prize.
“We have asked the state charities office to investigate if there’s a breach,” a spokesman for the minister told Reuters.
Magazine editor Paul Merrill told the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper the competition was legal because it was simply offered cash, rather than a breast enhancement operation.
“If they choose to spend it on surgery they can. We’ve checked out all the legals,” he said.
I would imagine that most would find more use for the money than a boob job for their girlfriend unless they are one of those sad souls to whom big boobs mean everything.
