Everyone once in awhile, something so disturbing it grabs you and makes you question the "cuteness" factor that everyone else seems to see. Like this story, about a disabled young girl in Austin who is auctioning of a date with her hot older twin brothers on Craigslist. Here's the ad as it reads now:
Wanted: Christmas Money (Austin)

Hi: I'm a 14 year old girl in a wheelchair and I need some spending money for Christmas Gifts. With my disability, I can't babysit, wash cars or other things that reguire the use of legs, so, I decided to auction off a date with my handsome twin brothers and yes, they are twins! They are single, 22 (legal) and like I said very handsome. All of my friends think so too! One of them is a firefighter and the other is a web developer. They have agreed to help me with my venture. The date will include dinner at a fine restauant, drinks and transportation (in Austin and surrounding area). It would be a fun evening out and would make a nice gift for a couple (or one) ladies. Please submit your offers and I will update them each night at 8:00 pm. The highest amount wins, bid high, cause I have to pay for the date. Females only please (my brohers insist), and over 21. The date will be Saturday the 20th, and the bids close on Friday the 19th at 8:00 pm. Anyone wishing to make donations to Kristin's Christmas Wish can make a donation at any Bank of America Account#5010 0108 1132 The Kristin Walters Medical Fund.
Current Bid: $300
Sounds cute, right? Well, yeah, it kinda is. And it's sweet of her brothers. But it's a tad creepy too. I mean, it's a date auction on Craigslist, which is like the king of random internet hook-ups. The fact that she had to stress they were legal should tell you something about the typical Craigslist listing. The kind of reaction they will get is probably just a tad on the wierd side.Whatever, I'm sure they'll be fine and she make a few bucks for holiday spending. It is a little sad that her brothers are so closed off as to not take a date from a guy though. Gay or straight, doesn't matter, they're closing off a large doner base there. And, given how cute these boys are, I'm sure there's a gay guy out there willing to donate sooooo much more than the ladies out there. But hey, it's still a cute idea. I think I might give it a try too...
