Virgin rejects $1m space sex offer

Stefan

ok.... 

Paris Hilton

so where do I audition and is Miss Bee up for it?

Paris.... coz she'd be up for it!!

Rob

Maybe they'd consider it.. 

Paris Hilton

if they add a condition to the contract that the crew must rebrand the craft exterior "Impure" prior to .. ahem... re-entry

Anonymous Coward

Stands to reason 

Joke

The cost to change the name of the company would have been way higher then that.

5 minutes? 

good grief. 5 minutes to the money shot?

Did they plan on using 15 year old boys?

Ten Mile High Club 

Stop

I wonder how many deposits [snigger] will be withdrawn [fnarr] when the posh punters hear about the no-nookie rule. Or is it just "no cameras"?

Steven Raith

So no chance of joining the... 

Paris Hilton

...sixty-two mile high club, then?

At *any* cost?

Gutted.

Paris, just because.

Paris Hilton

Perfect little globules floating around - for a few minutes, at least.

I just wanted to be the first to post it, I know it's juvenile.

Paris, who else?

I really shouldn't admit this ..... 

Paris Hilton

but it's been done ....

Doesn't this have an 8-passenger capacity? 

Thumb Down

I thought so, anyway. $200k * 8 means the only way Virgin Galactic would have any interest in this $1M offer would be if they're struggling to fill capacity. Which sounds rather unlikely.

Adrian Challinor

Understandable 

Paris Hilton

Why would you want to shoot a porn movie on a space plane that doesn't go all the way?

Paris - because, well just because really

Richard

Some people have no imagination! 

Joke

Now, a sex-in-space snuff movie...

Scene: Silhouetted writhing to Fanfare for the Common Man

<grumble noises>

Psssssshhhhh noise as the airlock slowly opens

HAL (fitted with the Andy Burnham voice module): "I'm sorry, Dave. I can't let you do that. And don't even think about putting this on the internet"

Adrian Jones

Let's face it 

It'd need a good hose down afterwards.

You wouldn't want to be on the next flight up otherwise, would you?

Martin Lyne

They'd need 

..to cover the whole interior with towels and/or plastic lining. Probably dangerous.

Also, very likely a poorly-aimed shot would ruin some other passengers flight. And for £200k you'd want your flight to be low-flying-jizzum free.

Dennis

It's all in the name 

Joke

You really can't expect an outfit called Virgin Galactic to allow the human docking maneuver to take place on their ship.

Paul Williams

$200k a pop... 

Paris Hilton

...so they were planning 5 'pops'?

Paris, because, well, obviously....

Steven

And the film would star? 

Paris Hilton

<<<< Well obviously?

Topsy

Equity card? 

Paris Hilton

Doesn't look like I'll get that call for an audition now. At least I won't need an Equity Card though.

Paris, as if she wouldn't.

Anonymous Coward

Awwwww

So it's a non-starter for the 62 mile high club then?

Pity, would have been perfect oppurtunity to film some scenes for 2069!

Scott

PH 

Paris Hilton

Well she needs a media boost so i'm guess good old PH to be appearing in a spaceship near you soon.

Andrew Macdonald

Just one word.... 

Playmobil

Anonymous Coward

Then they'd have to rename it 

Coat

Lots of new names come to mind, none of them likely to fit with Branson's brand values, methinks...

Charlie van Becelaere

@ Andrew Macdonald 

thank you, sir;

and where's our Playmobil® icon?

Why do you think they started putting women on the Shuttle? The literature is on the NASA website, you've just got to know how to find it. (hint: what you're looking for deals with stress and mental concerns due to lack of socialization).

I figure every woman that's been in orbit has received the attentions of everyone on the shuttle crew several times and maybe simultaneously.

She's just holding out for a better offer....

In space... 

...no-one can hear you cream

Apparently the name of a grumble flick itself. Apparently...

Boring gits 

Boooooo to Virgin Space :(

The thing you have to remember is that the porn industry is always always ahead of everyone else on technology, any new distribution medium, and new web standard or any new technology they are always using it before its even announced.

If Virgin are not going to let them film in their space shuttles then expect the Ron Jeremy space program to be up and running by the time you are reading this

Fraser

Reminds me of... 

This reminds me of Scruffy (The janator in Futurama) his favourate magazine is 'Zero-G Jugs"

Clearly a quality publication that we should not be deprived of.

I demand

that Peter North get the lead role. imagine the progenitor of "600% more volume" in a weightless environment. The man's a danger in gravity conditions alone!!

Hm...

Was I the only one to misunderstand the title? Definitely not...

Rule 34 is in effect... 

They already did it on the Vomit Comet: http://www.space.com/sciencefiction/movies/uranus_experiment_000516.html

Reminds me of 

Coat

that 'shopped picture of 2 aircraft; one a genuine Virgin A320 and one next to it with the decal 'Slut' on its tail!

Question is, will Virgin ever get it up?

Perhaps they wanted to trial the new condoms in space, you know, the ones coated with anaesthetic to prolong performance; the ones that if you reverse, mean you don't have to disturb anyone!

Finally, in the spirit of FoTW, SpunkBubbles!!!!!

Mines the latex one with Virgin Galactic on the sleeve.

Five minutes? 

I can only presume this has been thought up by a man with little or no consideration given to the pleasure of the woman involved.

Bring back seventies and eighties porn, where women were considered to be a little bit more than mere fuck machines or sperm receptacles. Much of todays hard core porn is violent, disgusting and humiliates women. Fair play to Virgin for denying this request, not that it fits in with their brand image at all. I am pleased that there is much 70's/80's porn I have yet to get my hairy palms on.

Scott Mckenzie

The final facial... 

....would require careful positioning.

Or is that the final frontier?

Rick Giles

Does anyone else... 

think it's funny that the company's name is Virgin?

Anonymous Coward

So the title is 2069...

A Space Boffery?

Mine's the one with a million quid in the pockets

Snakes on a plane

Snakes on a plane just took on a whole new meaning.

re: 5 minutes? 

Well it's doable: how long does it take to get up there? That there's your strip section and "rising action".

A five minute window to reach the money shot is plenty for people who know the business.
