Victoria’s Secret Introduces Line of Retro Coveralls to Boost Flagging Product Sales

Victoria's Secret-FNT-Small.pngSAN FRANCISCO, CA – In a design segue intended to bolster faltering sales volume of panties and bras, the fashion lingerie trend-setter Victoria’s Secret has introduced a stylish line of women’s’ retro coveralls, just in time for the coming Christmas season. The company, which sells more than $6 billion worth of lingerie annually, stated of the move: ‘the fashion industry has always been about change and we are just doing our part to remain relevant to our clientele.’

FauxNews Today was able to arrange a conference call with several of the large investment firms that buy, sell and trade shares of L Brands Inc., which owns Victoria’s Secret, to hear their take on the new direction that the company has taken.

Some of the Wall Street wolves are not so sure about the new strategy.

“The only reason we bought the shares in Vicky’s Secret was for an advance look at the catalogues,” said James Exmeralda, the manager of a hedge fund that currently controls eight percent of L Brands stock. “If I wanted to see women in coveralls, I’d go down to my local garage.”

Others, however, see it as a bold move in a business that: ‘sometimes suffers from a lack of imagination when it comes to garments for women.’ according to Donelda Harkness, an arbitrage trader for a $75 billion wealth management company.

Another hedge fund executive, Lauren Hindsinger supported this position. She allowed that the VC retro coveralls line was a “refreshing change” that would cater to “an untapped demographic”.

Hindsinger also announced to all on the conference call that: “the only reason that I won’t call Jim Exmeralda a scum-sucking, sexist, Neanderthal pig is that it would be an unforgivable insult to respectable swine everywhere.” Source: FNT Staff

Tesla’s New Spark-a-matic Electric Wheelbarrow to launch in Spring of 2018

Wheelbarrow-FNT-Small.pngPALO ALTO, CA – Fast on the heels of the electric semitractor-trailer and lightning-fast electric Roadster, Tesla Inc. will be launching an innovative new wheelbarrow into the marketplace in the spring of 2018. The company has said that its patented, all-electric Spark-a-matic barrow ‘will revolutionize lawn and garden practices worldwide.’

Tesla Inc. now the second largest US automaker by market value, has been making electric vehicles for more than ten years. The leading-edge Spark-a-matic, with its sleek Gucci knock-off coach design, is just the latest of the company’s surprise inroads into wheeled transportation.

The move fits with Tesla’s stated goals of leading sustainable transportation as neatly as that last piece of a jigsaw puzzle that the cat knocked off the table and you had given up for lost. According to yet another new study by the UN that was cobbled together from random government statistics, conventional wheelbarrows account for nearly ten percent of wasted human energy and contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions.

The unveiling of the prototype Spark-a-matic caused a stir of excitement as bikini-clad models (Twitter warriors please take a pill –this is the auto industry, remember?) passed around specification sheets that listed features like: magnesium-alloy wheel, run-flat tire, oversize disc brake and long-life battery.

The Spark-a-matic will be available in one or two wheel versions and will retail for less than $25,000 (USD). The specifications claim that it will be able to travel from three to five miles on a single charge. Tesla insiders also said that once the futuristic wheelbarrow was in production, other additionally-priced options would likely include a side-mounted solar charging panel, a removable glass top for gardening in the rain and self-wheeling technology.
