This sure is some backwoods shit:

Not really a funny subject that a child has to go through something like this at an age where life should be carefree and a happy time.

You are totally right! My posting on a Redskin fan web site has totally destoryed this young girls childhood. Pfff...Drink your coffee and lighten up.

Subtract the beer and you've got yourself a Utah engagement.

Police say arranged marriages involving underage girls have become a problem in this small Central Coast farming community.

This guy went to the police to get his daughter back because he hadn't received payment for her. Wow.

this kind of stuff still happens? WTF?

Wow.. .I had no idea that was even an option. I wonder what I could get for my wife? I mean, I'd settle for $16, a 6 pack of PBR and a hot dog. Wonder what the exchange rate is....

My wife and I got shirts on our honeymoon (I'll have to dig the photos out soon) from Crazy Shirts, one is beer-dyed saying "Will Sell Wife For Beer" and the other is chocolate-dyed saying "Will Sell Husband For Chocolate". I've worn that shirt our numerous times, and have yet to receive a solid offer, so if you can get $16, a 6er of PBR and a hot dog (preferably a half-smoke), I'd take it...

Police said they only learned of the deal after the 36-year-old man went to them to get his daughter back because payment wasn't made as promised. The man was arrested Sunday on suspicion of human trafficking.

I know, I would have thought he could have got at least $20,000 and 200 cases of beer for her.

I think the man would have ultimately regretted this decision even if he had been paid in full. 100 cases of beer isn't as much as it sounds like.

Your right. It equals 2400 beers and if you drank a 12 pack everynight it would only last 28 1/2 days. Not even a month and while your drunk you spend all that money on stupid stuff so its gone too.
