A SIGN THAT THE APOCALYPSE IS UPON US?

Anyone who has watched Repo Men (Jude Law & Forrest Whitaker, 2010) will find this interesting. It turns out that an anonymous parent in the Boston area posted an ad on Craigslist to offer their body parts to anyone who can pay off their child's student loans.



To be sure, no one will confuse the offer to sell their body parts with with "Repo Men 2011" (the Craigslist ad was taken down). Still, the fact that the ad was posted in the first place has to make you think about the direction of our society.

What do you think? Should we let the market work on this one? Free marketeers?
