Court Nixes Bid to Sell 'World Cup Air'

Jun 20, 7:39 AM (ET)

BEIJING (AP) - A Chinese company that once tried to sell land on the Moon has lost an appeal against a court ruling that stopped it from selling bags of "World Cup air," state media reported Wednesday.

Xinhua News Agency said that Beijing Lunar Village Aeronautics Science and Technology Co. lost a suit against the Beijing Administration for Industry and Commerce, which refused its application to sell "special air from a special place."
That is way too funny! Entrepreneurship squashed in China.

That is amazing. I wonder how many they've sold?
The Air was impressive because of the budding capitalism in Communist China!
