Weddings Are Expensive These Days!

Tech Entrepreneur Finances Wedding by Selling Advertisements on His Suit Jacket

A broke Frenchman was able to cover the cost of his wedding by selling advertisements on his tuxedo jacket to 26 startups and becoming a human billboard.

French salesman Dagobert Renouf had long been dreaming of marrying his then-fiancée, Anna Plynina, but he was too poor to afford a proper wedding. To put it plainly, he was completely broke and on the verge of homelessness. But that was no reason to deprive his beloved of the wedding she had been dreaming of. Back in July, he posted on X, announcing that he had decided to try and cover the expenses of his nuptials by becoming a human billboard. Any company willing to promote their products or services was willing to buy a slot on his suit jacket. His post went viral, and he ended up with 26 brand names on his jacket and a total of $10,000 in advertising fees.

Clever dude. Check out the whole thing.

Illegal Border Crossing INTO Mexico?

Border Agents Seize Truck Carrying 163 Exotic Reptiles

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers made a major wildlife trafficking bust last week, seizing a truck carrying 163 animals, many of them exotic reptiles, at the Anzalduas International Bridge.

On October 22, CBP officers encountered a silver Toyota truck attempting to exit the U.S. into Mexico. A secondary inspection revealed dozens of reptiles, amphibians, and arachnids concealed within the vehicle. Officials say the animals were hidden in an apparent attempt to smuggle them across the border illegally.

Among the seized wildlife were 24 royal pythons, multiple species of milk snakes and king snakes, various lizards, tree frogs, tarantulas, and several rare python morphs. The driver was arrested, and both the vehicle and the animals were taken into custody. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is now handling the investigation.
