A Chinese couple has found a great way to make money to feed their online gaming addiction; selling their babies! Apparently they sold all three of their young children- one for less than the equivalent of $500 in order to have the funds necessary to play online games for days at a time at an internet café. This article outlines the young couple’s deviant plan:

According to Sanxiang City News, the couple met in an Internet cafe back in 2007 and bonded over their obsession with online video games. A year later, the parents — who are both under 21 — welcomed their first child, a son. Days after his birth, they left him home alone while they went to play online games at an Internet cafe 30 km away.

In 2009, Li Lin and Li Juan welcomed their second child, a baby girl, and came up with the idea to sell her for money to fund their online game obsession. They did so, receiving RMB 3,000 (less than $500), which they spent entirely shortly after. The couple then proceeded to sell their first child and got 10 times as much for him — RMB 30,000, or about $4600.

What is most disturbing about this news story is that this happened in China. That means the USA is falling behind on its dominance for the deranged. Come on America! Are we going to let the Chinese beat us at being total degenerates? We need to take the lead here. Here’s an idea that could put America (and other countries around the world) back on track to be the best at nefarious forms of bartering. Think of the possibilities of using babies as a form of trade for all forms of gamming:

Old school video game arcades should use babies instead of coins or tokens . Want to play the new arcade version of World of Warcraft? Put away those quarters, that will be two newborn infants!

The Game Stop stores at the mall could trade in babies instead of used games. Want the latest Xbox game? That will be three slightly used babies.

Obviously this story is pretty sick, but what would you guys sell off in order to keep playing video games nonstop?
