NEWS: House for Sale, Wife Installed

CULTURE: House for Sale, Wife Pre-Installed

Forty eight year old Deborah Hale is auctioning her $600,000 Denver home with one catch: she comes with the house. Citing a lack of success with dating agencies and blind dates, Hale says she hopes to find her "soul mate" in this admittedly unusual manner.

Her website gives details on the fully furnished home, a biography of the bride-to-be and a request for a recent photo of any prospective buyers. Interested parties are also asked to "include information about why you are interested either in this house and/or Deborah."

It's an interesting strategy. She'll end up with more than half a million dollars in her pocket without having to leave her home. Maybe her new husband should charge her rent.

i forsee many of the obvious complications.

Holy shit. She's not bad-looking, either. Too bad I couldn't live with a woman who takes so little pride in the appearance of her Web site. Seriously, that color scheme has to go. And the site's developer should've specified a font, as my browser's default isn't particularly flattering. And the site doesn't even use CSS…

*spits*

As do I:

1) She's obviously a money-hungry wench.
2) Who in their right mind would purchase a house from a person who still intends on living there?

Whoever buys the house and her has more money than sense.

For 600,000 dollars she better be the best fucking lay I've ever had....

Okay. This woman has got to be a psycho. How the hell does an attractive and successful woman like her not have guys lining up to date her? She must be crazy and drive them away or something.

I smell a sitcom....

Fuck though I think she is hot. She looks a lot like Kate Hudson. I'd do her. But I wouldn't pay. I'd need a test drive first. And I'm a chick. I don't know if that takes me out of the running. Darn.

I think it's sweet. In a sick, twisted kind of way.

lol, it would be great if another woman bought it!

And, yes, she's probably psycho. That third pic even looks like it was taken in court or something.

Hell it's not really any worse than an arranged marraige, I wish her luck with it.

Edited to add: bah, someone tries something a little different and suddenly they're crazy.

I bet that is one crazy bitch.

Explaining this on to possible future off spring, would really be a bitch." Well lets see, your father got me in a realestate deal and."

If I had 600 Gs just lying around, I'd hit it.

But marry her? That'd be wierd

Dammit, Akira, you beat me to it - again!

What an odd idea. I assume she's only letting men buy the house - can she do that? Isn't that some form of housing discrimination?

i dont know how selling yourself with a house is gonna get you your soul mate . shes going in the wrong direction . instead of blind dates and booking agencies hasnt she tried community colleges , your local star bucks or perhaps a laundry mat?

i dunno..it sounds creepy to me but kudos to her for originality

aaaah those minneesootiaan noorwegiaans eh?

dowwwwwwwwwww reeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i smell airbrushing, possible psycho, a hint of gold digger...(cause she ain't messin with no broke, broke...), a melange of desperation and hope...

I wonder if she had to get planning permission for those tits?
