‘ — because ... goals’
By Grabien Staff

RUSH EXCERPT:

OLIVER:  “I just made it up and have you noticed and that’s the point or it would be if I had made it up in fact Macaulay was neither imaginary northern 9th tallest mountain it’s the fifth tallest and that’s the point or rather it would be if that were even Meccano in fact that’s The View from Mount Everest and you didn’t notice because the only thing most of us know about mountain climbing is that a board investment bankers selfie from the summit of Everest is fire because goals and thus deserves some serious insta-love and that is the point here but this to a possible solution too because in researching this story we stumbled upon this tantalizing attempt to secure bragging rights in Indian couples accused of faking a Mount Everest climb a photo posted to the tour company’s web site claimed to show the woman at the peak of Everest but another climber has said this is a photoshopped picture of him at the summit they just photoshopped themselves up there that is the boldest use of Photoshop to trick people that I’ve seen since I stumbled across this seal Pony hybrid online and it’s amazing and really if you are going to put yourself on top of Everest put yourself on a seal pony it’s better it’s just better [Applause] the more brilliant this idea becomes because if it is just a summit photo that you want faking it is probably the most ethically defensible way to get it and if even faking it seems like too much work to you don’t worry that is why we’ve created the company Adventures indoors Lux perdition’s the world leader in getting people to the summit of Everest without ever actually going there here at ail we believe that climbing Everest should be reserved for qualified climbers only but that doesn’t mean that you can’t visit at the top of Mount Everest simply visit the top of Mount Everest calm a website that was surprisingly available what once you are there you’ll be asked would you like to climb Mount Everest simply click yes and you can then insert a picture of yourself either alone with friends.”
