FAKE BEER BELLY FOR BOOZE SMUGGLING

WORLD CUP SECURITY ON LOOKOUT FOR THOUSANDS OF STUMBLING, FAT BASTARDS


It's the sort of idea that occurs to blokes at no-booze sporting events, except this time someone has gone and actually made the thing.

Each fake beer gut holds more than 2.3 litres of beer, or vodka and Coke if that's your tipple.

Big seller for the World Cup games, where drinking is going to be vastly restricted.

The stockist has sold out of all the various versions of the fake beer belly available, including the deluxe version that comes with an ice-pack, for those who demand their smuggled beer chilled.

Chinese factories are working triple shifts to get more units to the UK before the hordes ship out to Germany for the Games.

Here's the sales pitch from the order site : "Just think of the possibilities: no more queuing up and forking out on overpriced drinks at festivals, gigs and games. Why, the savings you'll make at just one event will pay for your Beerbelly and still leave you with enough change to buy some nuts. Probably. You can even go jogging, skiing and hiking wearing your Beerbelly (but perhaps it'd be best to fill it with water, not beer)."

Yeah, jogging with 2.3 litres of beer that you can suck up via a tube. Perfect for the Homer Simpsons out there who have been forced into physical activity.

"This really is one of the greatest booze-related inventions we've ever seen."

Cheers to that.
