Breast Implant Prize Causes Controversy in Australia

Apparently, it is not legal or against some sort of policy to give away free plastic surgery as a prize in Australia.  Heck, it may be illegal here in the US too for all I know!  This story is out of Australia, where a magazine that is popular with men and commonly features scantily clad women in provocative pictures is offering it’s male readers a prize of giving their girlfriends a significant amount of cash toward a boob job.  It was over eight grand I believe, which here in the US at least, can buy you a pretty nice set of breasts!

Their appointed commission for investigating wrong doings in lotteries and prize giveaways is launching an investigation into whether they are in their rights to offer such a prize, since they do expressly forbid cosmetic surgery as a giveaway of any sort for some reason, but the magazine is claiming its perfectly legit and legal, since technically, they are offering up money, not actual cosmetic surgery, as a prize, but are promoting it as money for cosmetic surgery.

Makes me wonder, if some guy wins this money, is he required to get his girlfriend of wife breast implants with it?  I would think that would be illegal then…
