To think the above headline is factually accurate amazes me. Yes, while we sit and bicker over whether or not it will be 12 Years a Slave or Gravity winning Best Picture or whether Jennifer Lawrence will win Oscar number two over newcomer Lupita Nyong’o just know all the nominees will have to figure out what to do with more than $85,000 worth of swag bag goodies after the ceremony. Because that’s what they’re getting.
Business Insider (via FilmDrunk) reveals each nominee will receive a voucher for a $16,000 hair transplant, none of which will clog your shower drain as they will also receive a $6.49 DrainWig.
Once you get beyond the $15,000 walking tour of Japan and the $9,000 cupcake and sugar cookie tour of Vegas you’ll arrive at a $2,700 “O-Shot”. What’s this? Well, according to the website‘s “Please Beware!” disclaimer:
The Orgasm Shot® (O-Shot®) procedure is a very specific method of using blood-derived growth factors to rejuvenate the vagina to help women cure urinary incontinence and sex problems. Done in the wrong way, results could be useless or worse. The names “Orgasm Shot” and “O-Shot” were awarded to Charles Runels, MD (the first to do the procedure) and are protected by US Patent & Trademark law. All physicians qualified & licensed to use the names are listed on this website. Any physician who uses either name but who is not listed on this website is not certified to do the procedure, is violating trademark/patent laws, and should not be trusted. Also, the advanced techniques of the providers listed here make the uncomfortable process of “VAGINAL MAPPING” NOT necessary.
At least vaginal mapping isn’t necessary.
I have listed all the “goodies” directly below from most expensive to least expensive. Isn’t it nice to know that while we clap and cheer for our favorite movies and their makers they don’t have to go home disappointed whether they win or lose? Hell, they could just hop on a plane and take a $6,850, two-day trip to the Rockies.
