I thought it was bad enough that eBay has become a breeding grounds for people to auction off all kinds of stupid novelty crap in the pursiot of greed. I was wrong - what's worse is, people actually bid for these things. On top of that, these idiots get publicity for it. Remember that One Red Paperclip guy? Just recently, we also had a current affairs item about a guy trying to sell his soul (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/The-Contract-to-My-Soul-Rare-Collectable_W0QQitemZ130028446911QQihZ003QQcategor yZ1469QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) (hope the link's ok, work blocks ebay). What a waste of the internet, and an insult to the intelligence of humans.

I can't view the link at the moment. How is it supposed to work anyway? Do you legally become a member of their family? Because if not, that's false advertising.

Nope.

Here it is! The chance of a lifetime!!! Become a member of our family for 1 whole year!!! My wife, my daughter and I would like to invite you to make our family of 3 a family of 4 for a year! Here is what you get: You will become a brother, sister, uncle, aunt, grandma, grandpa, or another parent for a whole 365 days! You will be included in family photos in the house, in my wallet, in my wife's wallet, all pictures displayed around our house, and Christmas Cards sent to friends and family! (you will need to supply a picture for us to super-impose your image with us.) You will also be talked about in Christmas, Easter Notes to relatives and friends, as well as discussed at family reunions and get togethers. As far as at our home, you will be given your own room and spot at the dinner table at each meal. All of this will be documented with pictures and sent to you. As far as the Christmas Cards and Notes-you are our family-we will send you one to prove that we care about our adopted member! We will even give you a gift at Christmas time and your birthday! How cool is this?

Here is why we are doing this.....My wife has chosen to stay home with our daughter this year to care for her. My wife and I are both teachers that don't make a lot of money. With my wife at home and no income, things are really tight this year! We made the decision to stay home for our daughter because we felt that it was best for her! We love her and want her to be with her mother in the early years of her life. If you feel like helpin<center>

Just more "down-n-outs" looking for a handout. If he could play the violin or even pretend to and put a hat on the sidewalk I might feel inclined to contribute but this "sad" story doesnt move me one iota. Ask any Mum that had to work while their children were young for their thoughts on this and stand back when the volcano erupts. :D
