I don't personally know anybody who has gotten a mail order bride, so I'll just make observations that this thread reminds me of.
I'm reminded of the lady... er, I'm reminded of the woman who put her house up for sale on ebay, and the winning bidder also gets her as wife. No I'm not making this up. I wish I were.
I'm also reminded of all the advertisements I've seen online for mail order brides from Russia. Am I seeing these ads because I'm frequenting Linux sites? What are we saying about Linux users? Nerds are so desperate for affection they will be far more susceptible to this stuff?
(I can tell you right now, even if we nerds did care about that kind of junk, we wouldn't be able to pay for it. We use Linux, a WHOLE FREEWARE COMPUTER SYSTEM. Like, free, no money. Yeah we like the freedom to use it however we want, install it on a flash drive, modify any program we want to, but that's not the only reason we gravitated to Linux.)
I also wonder what is so bad about Russia, that all these women are trying to bail out of it. I've never been there but I've heard nice things about it from Erma Bombeck.
