Man Sells Baby to Pay for Gadgets 335
nzgeek writes "This guy seems to have a serious gadget addiction: 'we're selling our son for $30k. There's nothing sinister about this, he's not going into child slavery or anything, Randy and Linda just really liked his demeanor, and they're keen on a Kiwi kid because they're usually so healthy. I hear $30 grand is really good value these days.
So help me out: what would be a good swag of gadgets to get hold of for US$30,000?'
" This one definitely raises a lot of important questions. $30k is a lot of gadgets, so you must choose wisely!

The real article? (Score:5, Funny)
That's right, i'm selling my popular newsite Slashdot for $30k. There's nothing sinister about this. The company really liked the website, and they said there wouldn't be as many repeats, dupes and Roland Piquepaille articles . I hear $30 grand is a really good number these days for this quality.
So help me out: what would be a good swag of gadgets to get hold of for US$30,000? Here's my initial wish-list:
* A dictionary to learn how to properly spell.
* Some kind of anti-bias machine. Maybe Microsoft makes one.
* An anti-duping machine.
* A vaccine for my Apple Fever. And not the one that attacked my lower intestine that summer of 76.
* Maybe a realdoll.

I traded my mum for a Slashdot subscription, so I guess anything's possible.

Wonder if there's anywhere it is legal to sell your politicans. Not that most of them would raise much money.

30k to have a video of someone eating an entire mac. Bargain. I hope you realise you're also going to be munching down the monitor, keyboard and mouse. I wonder if that one button will come out whole

You know, I spent a good three minutes just staring at my screen with my mouth open before I remembered that it was April 1. I was caught between the audacity of such a stunt, the possibility that maybe it wasn't a real child, and the indifference of the Slashdot editor. What a ride! Thanks for the joke.

Damnit. I told my wife and my Dad about it, and everything. Now I look like a complete chump.
Fucking April the 1st. It gets me every damn year.
