Buy Or Don’t Buy

The latest parental appalling horror comes from the BBC:

A man has been arrested in California after allegedly arranging for his 14-year-old daughter to marry a neighbour in exchange for beer, meat and $16,000.

Really? C’mon. Selling your daughter for beer? That’s worst than the incestory story line of Gossip Girl!

The man has a defense. He is part of an indigenous Mexican Trique community. So he figured it would be okay since it’s part of the culture. Granted, money isn’t usually part of the transaction, but he’s also American, so it’s all about the Benjamins. California police said that state law trumped cultural senstitivty, so the girl isn’t married, and the dude will have to live with his sober self a little longer.

Which is worse? Beer for Baby? or Baby Hitler?
(On a side note, Baby Hitler was taken away from his parents, unlike this girl.)
