India, field this Team in Synchronised Swimming at Beijing 2008

(p.s. Mistakenly, I took it as an auction centre instead of a court room! Sorry, LC)

My proposed caption:

'Why no bidders, even from India? With Olympics so close and almost no prospect of any medal, they could have considered fielding this team in Synchronised Swimming.'

or

'Shouldn't we be including a clause "buyer bears tit tax and other anatomical levies, if any applicable" ?'

(Times of India reported on July 14, 2007 with a suitable picture: "Now, 'tit tax' on plus-size bras"

"Being busty sure comes with a heavy price, and it's not just restricted to ogling eyes, for even bras' prices increase with the growing size, that's what international clothing line 'Marks & Spencer' has to say in defense of its 2 pounds surcharge on women's innerwear.

The chain has slapped 2 pounds as surcharge on bra sizes from 30DD to 42G, saying they needed "more engineering and construction work"." )
