A Chinese man is suing the Beijing trade bureau for denying him a permit to sell bags of "World Cup air." The man had a plan to sell air from the World Cup and let soccer fans breathe in the air while watching the game.

Li Jie, an entrepreneur, also had plans to sell "2008 Olympic Air." The price would have been about 50 yuan or $6.30. The Chaoyang Industry and Commerce Bureau rejected his application, saying air from special places was not classified as "an industrial category."

Jie also once tried to sell land on the moon. Beijing is set to host the Olympics in 2008.
