Dartz drops the idea of whale penis interior

File this one under "You've gotta be kidding me...."
After a month of protests, PROMBRON has decided to drop its plan to deck the interior upholstery of the Dartz Prombron, an ultra-luxury armored SUV, with whale penis leather. Apparently, the negative e-mails from Greenpeace, WWF and also Pamela Anderson, made it decide against its initial plan.

In a release, the company explained that it never intended to kill the whales and that the penis leather was chosen because it was pointed out to be the most expensive material that was deemed ideal for its luxury car. The Russian carmaker said that it has realized its mistake and instead, will now be focusing on the world’s most advanced nanotechnologies to achieve interior highest quality using artificial materials. The release went on to say that the company wanted to greet all whales, which it referred to as “sea brothers.” That’s a rather amusing turn of events considering what the company wanted to do with its reproductive organs. The carmaker said that it will be paying attention to the glass on its new car model that will be using special technology. Reportedly, these artificially grown crystals will reduce the glare of IR and UV rays.

“We have no any ideas to kill the whale or something like that. All we want - to make just luxury car. Real luxury car which will be world number one car. Our brand was started at 1869 when in Riga was opened Coach Factory or Russo Baltiysky Vagonnij Zavod - PBVZ, and first products was luxury train coaches. At 1907 was made a decision to open Car Department, and at 1909 first car left factory - the name of this car was RussoBalt. This was luxury and sport cars. At 1911 specially for Monaco Rally car got french style name - RussoBaltique. At 1912 factory made world first 4 x 4 wheel drive car, and at 1914 - armored car. All we want to unite luxury and armoring traditions of RussoBalt factory in one car, which brand celebrated 100 years now. At 1922 RussoBalt was renamed to PROMBRON’ (ex.RussoBalt).
