  1. The Amazing Rando says:

    Wait, what?

  2. Big_bo says:

    Nice, that’s parenting skills…

  3. jake says:

    First well Im glad he called the cops and got busted and I hope the girl is ok

    • jake says:

      well I thought I was

    • sauer kraut says:

      They should toss him off a high cliff either way.

    • jamisings says:

      I remember this story from last year. He’s from a place where it’s considered normal for a father to trade his daughter for goods. She was a teenager. He was REALLY upset to be arrested and have her taken away. Saying it was part of his culture and he should be allowed to do it.

      • sauer kraut says:

        Sounds like one less “culture” we need on this planet. That and the violence committed against pre-teen’s crotches in some countries. …

        • Heath says:

          What kind of “culture” would allow selling your daughter… Does Christianity count?

          Next time you’re bored try reading Exodus Chapter 21. God lays out exactly the rules around it.

          “When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her.” Ex 21: 7

      • CreativeAnarcy says:

        Selling offspring into slavery for cash or other prizes is an established and theoretically still legal practice on that Haiti island everyone loves so much these days.

      • Annie says:

        Yes, the town where the guy lives in about 10 miles from me. He’s a Triqui, and in their tribe in Mexico it is custom for this type of thing to go on. What they didn’t mention, however, was that the beer, meat, and money were to be used for the wedding. However, it was wrong of him to try and sell off his daughter at such a young age (the father was mad because the daughter was already living with the guy)

  4. Anonymous says:

    That’s one way to get rid of that illegitimate child…

  5. MaxArt says:

    Well, it’s a serious fail. Life fail, I think.
    And I didn’t laugh.

  6. TiiWii says:

    GJ dad keep it goin

    • somedudewhosawyourstuff says:

      Someday maybe we can all become fathers like him… at least that’s what I aspire to become. Ah, meat!

  7. MostlyHarmless says:

    I think he was asking for a bit to much.

  8. SM says:

    If this is the same story I heard about a few months ago, this was an arranged marriage. The beer and meat were for the wedding banquet. The big problem was the girl was underage, like 14 or something. The parties involved didn’t understand that something commonplace in their home country was illegal in the US.

    • drive-by commenter says:

      I think you’re right. I heard that story, too. It puts the weirdness into some context.

      • argv says:

        Context, my ass. For arranged marriages to *not* be illegal anywhere is an atrocity, tradition be damned. Human rights come first.

        • Lynn says:

          Actually, arranged marriages in other countries like India typically fail less and have higher happiness statistics than “love” marriages in the US. It’s because there’s a bigger focus on family in those countries, and they really do know their children well enough to find someone who suits them. You can’t really condemn something that works for a lot of people.

  9. Guineapig says:

    Proletariat 2.0

  10. Cloral says:

    This reminds me of the story of the guy who called the cops because his weed dealer ripped him off. Real genius there.

  11. Born Toby Wilde says:

    What, and he didn’t ask for two front row tickets to Bon Jovi while was at it? Boy, did he miss out!

  12. somedudewhosawyourstuff says:

    So… did he get his meat?

  13. Aaron Hardy says:

    The cash is not really the big issue…It’s the beer and meat that got to him.

    • somedudewhosawyourstuff says:

      I thought it was the part where he realized he told the cops he sold his daughter to some people for meat.

  14. SmakinYurBitch says:

    What a dumb-ass… get the cash FIRST!

  15. Miho-chan says:

    He SOLD his daughter… for BEER!? It’s a good thing he called the police, or perhaps someone else may have had to call, and that would take too much time.

  16. Slacker374 says:

    Yeah, but what KIND of beer?

  17. Jocelyn says:

    A good parent puts money first. Then beer/food.

  18. smarty says:

    lol, stupid mexicans

  19. Eternalist says:

    Parenting at it’s best.

  20. Shadow says:

    But, but, Mr. Officer Man, he just seemed so trustworthy.

  21. icwatudid says:

    No fail here.

    The trade was for “$16,000 and provide him with 160 cases of beer, 100 cases of soda, 50 cases of Gatorade, two cases of wine, and six cases of meat.” I mean, there could’ve been more meat, but this girl was worth a librarian’s yearly salary!!

  22. rikku4president says:

    If he wanted to lose his kids so much, should have just gone to portugal…

  23. Matt says:

    This is a good case for justification of the death penalty. Some people truly are just wastes of life. That thing is breathing perfectly good air that the rest of humanity could be using.

    • Dave says:

      What’s wrong with selling your daughter? The bible says it’s okay to do.

    • M.U. says:

      It’s really not as bad as it sounds. It’s not like the girl was unwilling or going to be a slave or anything. This would just be an ordinary misdemeanor statutory rape if it weren’t for the attention-grabbing “sale” angle.

      The only really spectacular fail here is that the father was so completely ignorant of US law as to think it was a good idea to involve the police in this.

      • Sqwirk says:

        Yeah everyone knows girls are more mature at a young age, and girls like maturity in a boyfriend.

        So, really, we’re only standing in the way of nature when we think there’s something wrong with older men sleeping with 14 year old girls.

  24. Iseeyoursack says:

    Trollin trollin trollin, I’ma justa trollin trollin trollin.

  25. Avis says:

    looks like a trollish night tonight. ~Fun~

    • coyote says:

      Slow going tonight.

      I just thought of a photo that I could use that would show the inner me. They gave me three pics from my bronchoalveolar lavage today.

  26. Christian fail says:

    lol mexican culture

    WIN

  27. client says:

    How much for da girl? would u accept one of my sons as payment?

  28. bo3rn says:

    why need cash when can have meat & beer

  29. epodon says:

    I wonder what kind of meat… cause i have a girlfriend and a sister that i’d swap for some good roast beef… and maybe a pack of smokes…

  30. Sqwirk says:

    How is this a fail? The guy is just a libertarian practicing his beliefs.

  31. shumway says:

    the cash is for the hookers

    • tyberius says:

      Um dude, most of us don’t speak Romanian. But if this is one of those chicks who offer their virginity for a price, then no, it’s not worse.

  32. Summer says:

    I suppose he really thought they’d be on his side?

    • 17R3W says:

      Apparently this type of thing is still common in parts of Mexico. It’s shocking.

      • Sam says:

        It’s disgustingly common in a whole lot of places. Quite a lot of prostitutes (including in the United States!!!) are there because their family sold them as children into slavery.

  33. 17R3W says:

    I watched the video on:
    CNN, cnn (dot) com/2009/CRIME/01/13/daughter.for.sale/#cnnSTCVideo

    It’s seems $16,000 grand plus some grocery will buy you a 14 yearold.

    haha,
    Sadly enough up until recently the age of consent in Canada was 14.

  34. jonesies says:

    hold on now, let’s not be too hasty…

    what kind of meat are we talking about here?

    • Pret24 says:

      jonesies- LOL!!

      But seriously. If he’s in prison and word gets around WHY he’s in there – he’s gonna be sold for some “meat”. Enjoy your 10″ of irony, sir!

    • CreativeAnarcy says:

      You know this sounds bad until you think about it. Maybe it wasn’t that great of a kid, ill-temperred? disrespectful? Turkish? And maybe the meat was bacon… Maybe it was a lot of bacon.

  35. Blaze says:

    Would this count as a double fail?

  36. Jimmy Longson says:

    L.A. Laker fan for sure!

  37. Rigo says:

    This is exactly the kind of things that make me lose more and more faith in humanity.

    I mean, I started browsing failblog with an already diminished hope in our species, so most pictures were funny and not wallbangers.

    But this… guy was either severely stoned or being a dick and an dumbshit at the very same time.

    Either way my bar just lowered even more.

  38. YOS says:

    i thought they called this marriage in india

  39. Troll says:

    Snookied

  40. Lynn says:

    This actually happened right here in my little backwoods CA town. *face palm*
