Sexy ladies holding healthy carp. What more could you want?

At this point, if it’s not an actual or perceived national security threat, we’re calling it good news.

Hullo, 2018’s Carponizer Erotic Carp Fishing Calendar!

In a world where there’s porn of everything, why is a calendar of a dozen pretty ladies toting very “healthy” (their word) carp noteworthy? Because it’s weird and, they insist, not Photoshopped at all. We’ll bite, as we did last year. We were really into the gong. 

As the publishers note, “[each time it] takes about 20 minutes to perfect the picture. Everything must be right, the weather, the model, the carp. That’s very important, you can buy several fishing calendars but not in this high quality.”

While they respect the art, they’ve also got their entrepreneurial finger on the pulse of the calendar-buying public: the 2017 edition broke into Amazon’s Best Sellers in the Erotic Calendar section, and was the most-wished-for listing in the Sports Calendar section.

Surely some traffic must come from posts by Jezebel writer Kate Dries, who has been intrepidly spearfishing spearheading coverage over the past few years about the difficulty of breaking into the carp modeling industry.

Clickbait, anyone?
