    (DONGGUAN, China) -- A young Chinese couple has sold all three of their children in exchange for money to play online games at Internet cafes, reports a southern Chinese newspaper.

    According to Sanxiang City News, the couple met in an Internet cafe back in 2007 and bonded over their obsession with online video games. A year later, the parents -- who are both under 21 --welcomed their first child, a son. Days after his birth, they left him home alone while they went to play online games at an Internet cafe 30 km away.

    In 2009, Li Lin and Li Juan welcomed their second child, a baby girl, and came up with the idea to sell her for money to fund their online game obsession. They did so, receiving RMB 3,000 (less than $500), which they spent entirely shortly after. The couple then proceeded to sell their first child and got 10 times as much for him --RMB 30,000, or about $4600.

    Guess 3000 can't buy you a condom in China.

    But seriously, the girl is quite pretty actually. The guy definitely found a nice pal. (that does the extra things too ;-)

    Shouldn't we be more upset about the fact that no one will pay decent scratch for a female baby in sexist China?

    Shouldn't we?

    Shouldn't we?

    Welcome to capitalism, China!

    NOTHING ... and we mean NOTHING ... is more important than money.

    Put some make up on her, maybe change her clothing and hair, and she would look alright maybe even hot. It is not like she is beyond hope.
