Progeny Wednesday

    Following on from the sensational shopping events of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I'm proud to announce the next revolution in Christmas consumer capitalism. Progeny Wednesday

    In a one day exclusive offer, starting at 8am GMT I'm proud to offer the sale of a strictly limited number of human children.

    They come in a variety of styles, ranging from male to female, and aged from 18 months to just over 5 years old. These are grade A reconditioned children, not quite in new condition, but factory refurbished to an excellent standard. Fully functioning with only minor cosmetic damage.

    This exclusive offer is guaranteed to fill any home with the joy and wonder of Christmas, Each child is guaranteed to still believe in Santa and will certainly provide that Christmas-eve bed time excitement, providing those cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

    Each child will come with a starter pack of clothes, toys and will come pre-fed with a wholesome breakfast, but we can not guarantee that they won't be hungry again 5 minutes later. While every effort is made to ensure that the volume of these children is kept within regulated levels, the organic nature of this offer means that occasionally there may be some unexpected outbursts.

    Further details will be provided closer to the launch, or you can subscribe to the twitter hashtag ‪#‎progenywednesday‬

    I'm sure they laughed at the idea of black Friday too. And when they launched the Sega Saturn, people said 'Who would ever buy this? "Too often genius goes unrecognised.

    Your idea would work better on rock and roll thursday.

    I'm not sure if human children are part of the marketing for rock and roll thursdays, but from our focus groups, they are a major part of Christmas, so we devised #progenythursday to capitalise on the untapped childless family market. Everyone wants the magic of christmas morning, but not everyone has the main ingredient required for that traditional experience. A human child.

    So this has nothing to do with the Irish Eurovision winning song "Rock'n'Roll Kids"?

    #progenywednesday is the perfect event not just for individuals and couples looking to create the perfect christmas atmosphere, it's also suitable for grandmothers who would like to recreate those precious memories from their past.

    Still reckon thursday is better, one day away from the weekend.

    Still reckon thursday is better, one day away from the weekend.

    A human child is for more than just a weekend. Besides, tomorrow is the last day DhL guarantee human child delivery before Christmas

    They didn't have a catchy name or a twitter hashtag

    Tread carefully! Remember the woman on FB who jokingly posted that she was willing to sell her kids and the sh*tstorm that ensued? The Daily Star front page awaits you...

    What return policy do you offer?

    But hesitant after my last experience buying a child that ended up being possessed by the devil. Was hell to get my money back after that .... And never mind the cleaning bill.

    Due to unprecedented lack of demand, #progenywednesday has been put on Hiatus

    Probably for the best.

    Personally, I'm disappointed. I was thinking about putting in an order. Are they just for Christmas though or for life?
