Court nixes bid to sell 'World Cup air'

BEIJING - A Chinese company that once tried to sell land on the Moon has lost an appeal against a court ruling that stopped it from selling bags of "World Cup air," state media reported Wednesday.

Xinhua News Agency said that Beijing Lunar Village Aeronautics Science and Technology Co. lost a suit against the Beijing Administration for Industry and Commerce, which refused its application to sell "special air from a special place."

Sad thing is that someone would have bought it.

The Chinese bought 6% of that hedge fund IPO, Blackstone, too. That's when you know capitalism's working--you're selling part of your biz to the communists.
