I always say that people buy when they are in pain and small businesses need to target this pain. But, the success of this small business has me puzzled.

Adam Thick, runs a company called Extreme Kidnapping near Detroit, Michigan. For $500, he and his accomplices will kidnap you at gun point for 4 hours. If you want to be kidnapped for longer, it of course costs more money. There are other upgrades like using sexy girls in stripper outfits to kidnap you. There is also a torture menu from stun guns to waterboarding.

Are American lives not exciting or scary enough that they need to seek this type of thrill ride? Apparently so.
