SUV maker pulls back on whale foreskin interior option

At $1.6 million, a battle-hardened personal transport, the Dartz Prombron Monaco Red Diamond edition, is the most expensive SUV in the world.

But for all the rubles in the world, you can no longer get that whale penis leather option, at least not from the vehicle's Riga, Latvia maker.

Earlier this year, when armored vehicle maker Dartz announced the vehicle's interior would be upholstered with the foreskin of whales, Greenpeace, the World Wildlife Fund, even Pamela Anderson threatened to bust the company's balls in the world court of public appeal.

Where's PETA when you really need them?

Thanks to all the whale penis-envy, Dartz has announced a "Penisguard" Volga emblazoned with a swim suited Baywatch image of Anderson.

As for the Red Diamond Prombron, it still comes with gold-plated bulletproof windows; bulletproof wheels; white gold gauges studded with diamonds and rubies; white gold, diamonds and rubies in badges adorned on the grill, side and dashboard; Kevlar coating and three bottles of the world's most expensive vodka, RussoBaltique, to numb you when you get the bill.

Put that on your Christmas list.

    Whale junk interior this has got to be a bad corporate joke.
