Dad tries to sell son on Facebook for $20M

All the obvious problems and objections aside (because there are just too many of them), my questions are 1) why Facebook?, and 2) why $20 million?  The first sounds like it's just asking for trouble, and the second is pricing the kid right out of the market.

Thank goodness Facebook didn't exist when I was a kid.
No churches have free wifi because they don't want to compete with an invisible force that works.

This sot of thing goes on all the time in China with some people who can't have kids buying the 'spares' of people who have more than one.

The Asmo would be safe - he's impossible to sell.

We could have a Dutch auction, start at $20 million.
There could be a lonely Egor out there who has just lost their master with that kind of money.

Hmm...  ???

The Asmo does need an Egor, doesn't he?

What would you want with one of those?

Get guardians in stead. Twice the battle potential and only half the crazy.
