"Children for Sale" on E-bay.

[The Doctor.]

I posted this in GD, but I figure it probably belongs here.

You know the economy sucks when people sell their kids on E-bay.

It's kinda funny, a little tasteless, and I have to wonder if Dad is a Freeper feeling the effects of his 'great leader's' economy.

I mean - look at that kid's haircut.

4. He just wants his 15 minutes of fame.

He may be the first to try it on ebay but the joke ain't even original

7. The more effective arrangement would be

to give people money to take the little porch monkeys away...

8. You gotta wonder if he might have tried it already...

Just read the whole description... If it's accurate, I don't blame him.

9. I'm reminded of a poem...

For Sale
By Shel Silverstein

One sister for sale!
One sister for sale!
One crying and spying young
sister for sale!
I'm really not kidding,
So who will start the bidding?
Do I hear a dollar?
A nickle?
A penny?
Oh, isn't there, isn't there,
isn't there any
One kid who will buy this old
sister for sale,
This crying and spying yound
sister for sale?

10. Seems kinda weird and a bit unsafe selling your kids pics and updates
