Bid For Your Entrepreneur Wife - Part III

from the give-it-up-already dept

Ah. She's back again. Our favorite unmarried female entrepreneur who has accomplished everything she's ever wanted in her life at the ripe age of 24 - except finding a husband, is now saying that she's doing background checks on the two highest bidders, and plans to marry the highest bidder without a criminal record. I still think this is all a big publicity stunt (which, of course, we're adding to). I'm also a bit confused as to who would find someone who put her hand in marraige up for auction attractive?

    From the article:
    "Hammond, from Birmingham in central England, said in her ad that part of her goal was to "prove that the Internet is not full of cyber-geeks, there are normal people out there.""

    I think her definition of NORMAL is a little skewed. Or do a LOT of people auction themselves off for marriage?
