Surrender Your Little Girl For A PlayStation 3

Me, I can barely wait to play with my Wii later this month. But some people out there, with issues, would resort to all sorts of crazy things just to get their hands on a PlayStation 3. And I'm not talking about waiting in line for a goddamn week, pissing in parking lots and then selling the console on eBay so they can buy enough porn to last them a lifetime. Oh no, I'm talking about something way more perverted than that!

As a certain Dave Ryan radio show host could tell you, there is a special breed of people - called inapt parents - who would go as far as to give away their kid to a stranger for one night, in exchange for a PS3. Yes, yes, I know what you're thinking. And believe me, I'm with you 100%. If I knew about this sooner, I myself would have done various crazy things to get a PS3, just so I could trade it for somebody's little girl. (That was what you were thinking, right? Otherwise you're not welcome here)

In his Tuesday morning radio show, Dave played a little joke (a.k.a. "social experiment") on his listeners, claiming to be giving away a new PlayStation 3 to someone if they put their baby's care in the hands of Steve-O (the show's executive producer) for one night. "You would not believe what happened!", he says. "We got more calls than we could handle. They were lined up willing to turn their kids over to strangers for a freakin' PlayStation".

The story was also picked up by TwinCities.com (hmm, twin cities... you know, I'm getting some weird thoughts right now...). Well, anyway, here's what they say:

"People with babies of all ages - including a 2-day-old and a 1-week-old - made it on air. One of the more serious sounding calls came from a woman named "Katie," who agreed to give up her 1-month-old for three days. She wanted to sell the PS3 on eBay to make some extra money for the holidays.
(...)
After the KDWB crew admitted on air that it was all a hoax, Ryan was dumbfounded when "Katie" called back.
"She said, ‘So, does that mean I don't get the PlayStation?' I'm like yeah, you're a dumb a-, and you don't get the PlayStation."

If you're up for a good laugh, part of that show is available online for your listening pleasure.
