Kay Hammond says she is too busy to find a date. So the 24-year-old Englishwoman offered her hand for sale on the Internet.
okay whoa whoa whoa whoa! hold on a second! to much time? so she auctioning her hand off to a guy for money in a way? (i sort of seeing this as prosotutuion in a way but thats just me) isn't this almost like who wants to marry a millionaire? Now i will admit the internet can bring a vast knowledge of information, but to use the internet this way? Some people needs to be smacked and come back to reality.

I doubt they will actually go throught with the marriage, sounds like BS to me, she just wanted to sell her story. I can't believe anyone would be so shallow, If it is true there is something wrong with the men who would pay and she has brought gold digging to a new level.

Ahhh...just pay with a credit card. Then if you don't like her, you can dispute the charges.

I forgot where I heard It but, love is nothing more than two people that can stand each other.

So why not do it I mean basicly shes just making sure who ever she finds has enough money that they can afford to spend that much.

There have been a bunch of people doing similar routines lately. It's all a publicity stunt. Hey, I'll whore myself out on the net to some rich geek, marry him for a while and then divorce him and take half his crap. A similar scam happened here a couple of years ago, it was a national story. This boner said half of marriages end in divorce he has just as great a chance at staying married if he would let people apply and have his friends vote or something to that effect, maybe he picked the lucky loser I forget. He spouted how he might be a genius for thinking of this and other bs, this guy was a doctoral student in philosphy and it showed (sandals, beard, pony tail, tall, skinny, tiny glasses you know) and as a result was very annoying to listen to. Anyway, it turns out he knew the girl that was selected beforehand so it was a scam. But for some damn reason he kept ending up in the news saying how his marriage was so great. I just can't stand when people want attention that bad and when it's given to them undeservedly, then the money and respect follows. Like Monica Blewinski. Does anyone realise what she did, why do they treat her like a star. Man, I'm way off track now, better leave it at that.
