Need something to do this weekend? Extreme Kidnapping is a company that will kidnap you ta gunpoint, tie you up and hold you for ransom. Being abducted, gagged and bound is all part of the game.
A GQ reporter recently tested out their service:
I had to fly all the way to Detroit to get kidnapped. Extreme Kidnapping is a company operated by Adam Thick, an entrepreneur and convicted counterfeiter from Oakland County, Michigan. Thick founded Extreme Kidnapping in 2002 after being inspired by the old David Fincher movie The Game. (SPOILER: It was all a game!) For $500, Adam and his crew will abduct you at gunpoint and hold you hostage for four hours. A thousand bucks gets you ten hours, along with a bit of customized sadism. GQ was curious to see what $1,500 would buy me.Their prices range from:
If it strikes you as obscene that people would pay to be kidnapped at a time when it happens routinely to other people for real, the fact is that we live in an age when a normal life simply isn’t enough for many Americans. If you watch enough movies and TV (as I do), you end up yearning for a life that is more cinematic than blissful. Experiences are the newest, hottest luxury items. I looked at it like I was paying for a memory implant, Total Recall-style. But the one thing that didn’t make sense to me was how Adam could pull off the trick of making a kidnapping feel real when his client knows it’s not.
More:(the deluxe is for people that want longer durations of captivity, more complex scenarios, additional kidnappers, and whatever else they come up with.)
- The Econo-Kidnap; lasts 4 hours, cost $500
- The Standard Kidnap; lasts 10 hours, cost $1000
- The Deluxe; lasts however long you want, cost ?? (Call for price quote)
You can still choose to be kidnapped by the Henchman, or the Elite Girls Team. The Henchman provide the most realistic, HARDCORE, movie-style kidnappings in the country and allowable by law.
The Elite Girls Team provide the sexiest kidnappings and will certainly fulfill your fantasy of getting kidnapped by a group of hot chicks. You can choose what they will wear, in most cases, and they are fully capable of providing a realistic kidnapping or whatever scenario you come up with.

How to Make Marketing Strategy
Marketing has changed dramatically since the first print ad was published. That ad was probably run in a local newspaper. More than likely, a farmer told the publisher he had an extra cow and wanted to sell it. The publisher said, “Hey! I’ve got a good idea. Let me mention that cow for sale next time I publish my paper.” The copy probably read: “Cow for sale. $50. Contact Farmer Tom.” The ad was

A private, unique and memorable dining experience for your guests at your next dinner party doesn’t have to mean booking a reservation at an upscale restaurant or finding somebody good enough to cook for a crowd (if a group of eight to twelve can be considered a crowd). And that’s thanks to Chef’d Up, a startup founded by three Harvard guys: David Snider, John Feeney and David Werry.
With Chef’d Up, you get to bring home premier chefs in the Boston area that include Danya Bader-Natal, a former Clio chef, Katie Barry, former Rialto chef and currently with Lumiere, and Jitti Chaithiraphant, formerly with Radius and Lumiere and now with Franklin Café South End. Chef’d Up has a total of 10 chefs in its roster at the moment.
To book a chef for your event, first, browse through the chef’s profiles, including reviews from previous guests who have experienced receiving the chefs in their homes. Once you’ve selected a chef, you’re ready to provide the initial details of your event on a request form. Your chef will then contact you to discuss the event, the menu and the event price. Once the details are in place, your chef will confirm the agreed-upon event price in the Chef’d Up system, and you finalize the booking by paying via the site prior to the scheduled event.
On the day of the event, your chef will acquire the ingredients, prepare the meals in your kitchen, even clean up if you wish, allowing you to concentrate on hosting.
Chef’d Up, according to co-founder Snider, is a unique way to make high-end dining accessible to a larger part of the population.
Except for a $5,000 award from Harvard Business School’s FIELD program, Chef’d Up is mostly bootstrapped. The company makes money by receiving a portion of the fee paid to book a chef.
