Teenage girl in China offers to sell virginity for iPhone 4
By: Zach Epstein

A teenage girl in China has offered up her virginity in exchange for an iPhone 4, Chinese news site Biznewschina reports. The young girl recently took to Weibo, a Chinese microblogging service similar to Twitter, to seek out someone willing to buy her an Apple iPhone 4 in exchange for sex. According to the report, the girl’s dream is to own an iPhone 4 but her father refused to purchase one for her. The girl posted a photo of herself on the website alongside some personal information, and offered to sell her virginity to anyone who buys her the new Apple smartphone. Some people responded by telling her that an iPhone is not worth the trade, while others joked that she should wait for Apple to release the iPhone 5 in September. It is also possible that someone has gained unauthorized access to her account and is playing a prank on her. If genuine, this is the second story we’ve reported this month about a teenager willing to go to extremes for an Apple device. Earlier this year, a Chinese boy sold his kidney for 22,000 yuan ($3,400) on the black market in order to purchase an iPad 2.

How about that kid that sold his kidney for $3400, just so that he could buy an iPad. Remember that story?

EDIT: Oh snap, that's in the quote you posted too. My bad :(
That guy that used to mod cases. Now I take photos. True story.

Why can't people just go for some other phone, like the Blackberry???
(I know the Blackberry is just a bit too popular!!)

Fine, let me put it to you like this. Would you want someone who's pure or someone who's experienced and knows what the hell they're doing?

If you only offer experience you'd come second to jamin. What else can you put on the table?

It's not what I can put on the table. It's do you have a big enough table for me to put it on?

I'd want one to play with the apps and watch what I download from iTunes U, so an iPod Touch would probably serve me well.
