FREE GOAT WITH YOUR PURCHASE

MITSUBISHI DEALERS IN NEW ZEALAND ARE OFFERING A FREE GOAT . . . WITH EVERY NEW CAR PURCHASE:

Here in America, we're trying to "fix" the economy by throwing billions of taxpayer dollars into failing corporations, which . . . you could make the case . . . isn't the smartest move. So you have to appreciate THIS . . .

This week, Mitsubishi Motors New Zealand announced that . . . in an effort to jump-start the failing economy . . . they'll be throwing in a FREE GOAT with every Mitsubishi Triton pickup truck purchased before August 1st. No, you heard correctly. Mitsubishi New Zealand is giving away free GOATS.

According to a spokesman for Mitsubishi Motors New Zealand, "We are aware that three years of drought has severely depleted sheep and beef populations, so what better time to float the goat?"

And get this . . . --If you don't want the goat, Mitsubishi is also offering a "no-goat" package which includes an extended warranty package, $500 worth of free accessories . . . and free roadside assistance for five years. (Brisbane Times)

(--Wait, am I missing something? How is free roadside assistance, an extended warranty and all that other stuff the monetary equivalent of . . . a GOAT? I mean, unless the goat's made of solid gold . . . I'm a little confused.)
