Press
Release Body: A 31 year old man from Doncaster received more than
he bargained for, as he got a part of himself stuck inside a female
display bust he had ordered online from Displaysense
and mistaking it for an adult version.
Displaysense,
the one stop shop for retail display products and mannequins
recently received a complaint about one of their new bust displays
after it was used in an unusual fashion that has stunned and embarrassed
the entire sales team. A 31 year old man from Doncaster who can
not be named for legal reasons has complained to Displaysense,
the UK’s leading supplier of mannequins and display busts,
after getting a part of himself trapped in a 24mm hole which is
designed for a bust stand.
The
man in question had purchased the display bust by accident after
mistaking it for an adult toy. Due to the durability of the display
bust, he became concerned that the fire brigade would need to be
called to liberate him. But thankfully, a pair of heavy duty scissors
were able to cut apart the female
bust to release him and relieve his delicate area. After freeing
himself, he made a call to Displaysense to complain
about the user friendliness of the female bust and that this was
not what he had ordered.
Steve
Whittle the marketing manager of Displaysense was stunned
by this incident and said, “These busts
are for display purposes only and no-where on the website or in
the products packaging does it state that they should be used for
adult means”. During the phone call the gentleman in
question demanded a refund on the now dismantled female bust at
which point the refund request was politely refused.
This
is not the first time an incident like this has occurred (though
it’s a first for Displaysense). In 2005,
Michael Plentyhorse an 18 year old from the US was caught after
performing an indecent act with an arts centre mannequin Steve Whittle
also commented by saying, “We’ve just added these
busts to our range and we normally expect some initial teething
problems but not in our 30 years of business have we experienced
such an incident. I just hope we don’t have to go to the extent
of placing a warning sticker onto the bust to deter people from
considering such inappropriate acts in the future”.
A
warning sticker on each bust just might not be enough to prevent
such ludicrous situations from happening again but Displaysense
are considering possibly placing a warning on the new display
bust section of their website.
