Gilpin Family whisky is a new single malt whisky made from the urine of diabetics. Creator James Gilpin doesn’t sell the stuff, but rather gives away bottles as a public health statement.
We couldn’t make this up.
From the product page:
Resources Gilpinfamilywhisb Sugar heavy urine excreted by diabetic patients is now being utilized for the fermentation of high-end single malt whisky for export. The Whisky market is growing faster then any other alcoholic beverage worldwide. With a prevalent genetic weakness being exposed in the northern hemisphere leading to a sharp rise in type two diabetes, economists have found a new exportable commodity to exploit and are keen to capitalize on this resource quickly.
Large amounts of sugar are excreted on a daily basis by type-two diabetic patients especially amongst the upper end of our aging population. As a result of this diabetic patients toilets often have unusual scale build up in the basin due and rapid mould growths as the sugar put into the system acts as nutrients for mould and bacteria growth. Is it plausible to suggest that we start utilizing our water purification systems in order to harvest the biological resources that our elderly already process in abundance?
James, who is a diabetic himself, says that “large amounts of sugar are excreted on a daily basis by type-two diabetic patients especially amongst the upper end of our aging population.” James gets the urine from elderly volunteers including his own grandma.

The new Bud Light commercial, introduced online Wednesday, features pudgy, naked male flesh.
It is the latest in down-market brewing’s glorious history of using nudity to sell beer. Only instead of buxom babes, we get 60 seconds of office drones stripping frantically because the company clothing drive is offering a Bud Light for every item donated.
But is Bud Light stripping scared? And will that benefit Joe Six-Pack at the cash register? Donald Lichtenstein, a marketing professor at the University of Colorado’s Leeds School of Business, believes the brand is perhaps acting out in fear of even cheaper beer horning in on its low-brau base. Said Lichtenstein,
“I’ll bet some part of it is a reaction to the market share Pabst is getting.”
So almost everybody wins. We get cheaper beer from other brewers such as Pabst. And we get short-attention-span entertainment between our regularly scheduled programming from Bud Light.
But will Bud Light see enough sales from its latest commercial, a sequel of sorts to its “Swear Jar” campaign with strategic blockage of private parts? It reportedly will not air during the Super Bowl.

Okay the title probably makes no sense, but then again this is to do with Paris Hilton - does anything with this bitch makes sense?
Anyway, Paris doing her best to get photographers to follow her pushed up her boobs so they looked big while she headed out to H Club in Los Angeles with her boyfriend Doug Reinhardt.
Well the night didn’t go to plan, or maybe it did – who knows with these two, because a fellow club goer decided he would try his luck and grope Paris’ boos which is when big man Doug stepped in.
A source said “Doug pushed the guy away and then a friend of the groper threw a beer bottle at his head. Someone managed to get him in a headlock before Doug went over and started punching him. Then the groper started to attack Doug and Doug’s pal [fellow The Hills star] Frankie Delgado decided to get involved.”
Yes you may feel like you’re having a deja vu reading this because at the end of March, Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt were involved in another club fight.
Jessica Simpson will soon be marketing beer, according to an announcement expected today from a local brewing company.
Simpson will serve as a spokeswoman and appear in ads in stores for Stampede Light Plus, which is made by Dallas’ Stampede Brewing Co.
But she won’t be just another pretty face: Ms. Simpson is taking a 15 percent stake in the brewer. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
“She’s the face of the brand now,” said Lawrence Schwartz, Stampede’s president and chief executive, who says sales have more than doubled in the past year.
Stampede’s marketing is focused on its vitamin content, which it describes as “functional additives.”
“As an entrepreneur, I am always looking for ways to diversify my portfolio with good ideas and good people,” Ms. Simpson said in a statement. “Yes, I work out and take care of myself, but I also like a cold beer once in a while.”
This girl’s career is over. Horrible movies, horrible music — now she’s the face of a beer only Texans love.
