French Company Offers Kidnapping Vacations 43
A French company is offering people the chance to get away from it all and be bound and gagged for a day. The company will abduct you without warning, and hold you prisoner for up to 10 hours. The kidnapping packages were among many unique vacations unveiled at the Tourism Futures conference in Brisbane.

Also makes a great surprise gift for someone else... say, somebody you don't like and wish to harass.
Or, depending on their speed and availability, they may be able to help you with the competition sitting next to you for the job you are applying for...

Some folks were moving. The thieves showed up with a moving van, and borrowed towels from the neighbors to swipe the furniture.
The reference was that a mock kidnapping might be overtaken by a real one.
One of us got whooshed.
Well, that's one way to scare your friends. (Score:1)

I've heard that both Iran and North Korea already offer such vacations. With the luck of the draw, you might even benefit from the "presidential package" to secure your release. Very exciting, I'm sure.

In an effort to one up France, Iran and North Korea, US also started offering this vacation with a twist, not only do you get kidnapped but also tortured.

That's the only way my employer will let me have a vacation, if someone abducts me! I get called back in every time I get a vacation approved.
It would be great if you could arrange the pickup as you're walking down the street with your boss.
"So yeah, I know you've got plane tickets but you'll have to come in on Saturday and ..."
*screech*
"That's him -- get him"
*grab, shove, drive*
"... what the fuck?"
Then when you come back tell him you have to take some personal time, and you'll be back in a few weeks.

It reminds me a little of a movie I saw a while ago. I think it was called 'The Man Who Knew Too Little.' It was a little different, in that the guy was paying to play the role of a mobster (or maybe it was a spy) but ends up with actual gangsters. Kinda funny...

Yeah, I'm guessing that they'll need to do something so they're absolutely sure they're getting the right person. Maybe if you need to go to a specific coffee shop wearing a pink carnation and order a cafe latte with whipped cream and a chocolate biscotti...
