What's Your Life Worth?


If you woke up this morning tired, depressed and dreading going to work or class, well I'd say it's time to reevaluate things because some people have it far worse than you. Don't worry I'm not going to make this some preachy post about children in 3rd world countries, instead I'm going to tell you about how two kids were sold in exchange for an exotic bird and $175 dollars. You would assume that something like this would take place in a impoverished country, but it didn't; it took place in Louisiana. The woman who sold the children is Donna Louise Greenwell. Maybe it's a good thing they were sold, look at that woman, she's frightening to look at. Anyway, we all hope our lives are worth something more than a bird and $175 dollars but I guess not for these little bros. These kids are going to clearly have some issues when they're older, and by issues I mean they'll become emo-goth weirdos. They will also always have a disdain for cockatoos, and of course, $175 dollars.

Look, I know nothing about selling human beings, but I think you could get more for 2 people. I mean, let's be real, this woman clearly had poor bargaining experience. What I don't understand is why this woman wanted a cockatoo? These kids must be really annoying if she wanted cockatoo; a cockatoo is one of the most loud and obnoxious birds to own. I'm not big into birds at all, but if I had a choice, I'd choose a Canadian goose over a cockatoo. Instead of going to jail she was only sentenced to 15 months of hard labor and was also the winner for this week's "biggest piece of shit" award.
