More than 130,000 inflatable breasts have been lost at sea en route to Australia.

Men's magazine 'Ralph' was planning to include the boobs as a free gift with its January issue.

The cargo is worth about $200,000, which is another blow for publisher ACP's parent company PBL, which is already in $4.3bn of debt.

A spokeswoman for 'Ralph' said the container left docks in Beijing two weeks ago but turned up empty in Sydney this week.

"Unless Somali pirates have stolen them, it's difficult to explain where they are," editor Santi Pintado said.
