Who cares? Stop trying to be the arbiters of taste, Bostonist. You can be real prudes sometimes.

Ewww. I'd like to see the guys who signed up for this have their names published and the full story sent to their mothers.

"There is a big difference between an auction and a raffle." Is there really? Isn't it reprehensible either way?

"the whole thing just reeks of the idea that women are worth so little that they can be auctioned off to the public for a single cent." There is a big difference between an auction and a raffle. No where in the article does the word "auction" appear. Also, there's a prize of "$15K [that] each participating girl takes home if chosen." So, while this is basically prostitution, it is not an auction where the bidding starts at a penny.

A "martial rating scale for wives"? That slip is just too violent for even Freud to consider.
