I ran across this at work, really. Apparently there are some super enterprising parents out there. There's a website, of course, where one can actually
put your daughter up for auctionto be married and make a killing ranging from roughly 6 grand to 100 grand. And whose idea was it to stamp a gaudy yellow engaged on their forehead? No dignity can be found in the, um, ad placement Miss $5,995 right next to Miss $79,995. I want to know more about who proposes to these girls. Finally, why oh why must the bride prices end in ...995? Must be a science to bride price marketing that we are not privy to; probably the same clever folks that gave us goofy car prices and that damn $19.95..but I digress. I know I shouldn't throw stones ;) but....
Marissa's parents don't sound too supportive:
Marissa likes to put on airs and thinks she’s better than all of us here and who knows maybe she’s right. She’s looking for a smart, sophisticated man who knows “art” and “culture” and “style” and who can understand her better than we can.

"Thank God for your site! Our daughter was really nervous walking down the aisle, but she seems okay now and the money we got let us keep our farm and even add on a few acres."

Ummmmm. I don't know about you all, but this doesn't seem like a ringing endorsement. You have to read the rest of them. This is the most fucked up thing i have ever read in my life. Is this really real? j

ooh yeah, it's a email phishing scam....
Ha ha! It is scary, though, that a 45-year-old man can marry a 14-year-old girl in some states, even if he can't legally test out the merchandise first... It's even funnier that people got angry about this site, according to the NY Times article. Hello, gullible!
