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!

I don't know many countries that it is legal to sell your offsprings. So this raises an important question - if someone went to the airport today and announced that he was going to set off a bomb, can he use "Hey it's April Fool" as an excuse to get away?

It's just stupid, juvinile, uninteresting and retarded.
I like humor as much as the next guy, but there's never any humor in Slashdot April Fool's stories.

The sad thing is, the reason that this story isn't funny is that it's plausible.
