Although Migliorini, a physical education student, has claimed to media that she planned to donate as much as 90 percent of the auction price to charities that will build homes in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, even auction organizer Justin Sisely, who devised the plan for a proposed documentary, was skeptical. — huffingtonpost.com

Total scam. I actually had sex with that girl just last week and didn't pay anywhere near $780K.
Sucker born every minute, yo!
Every single thing about this news item is deeply offensive. Isn't the typically male desire for "ownership" one of the main anti-societal forces that got us into this lack of housing crisis already? Is pandering to that desire rather than demand that it change the appropriate solution, or merely a band-aid that perpetuates the problem (answer: the latter, obviously)? Isn't Handsum's snappy classification of a human being as a commodity the kind of casual acceptance of sexism that leads to abuse of women and children across the globe? Isn't the photograph of a woman's breasts being used to drive page views?
Isn't it time we - all of us, from ALL of our privileged positions- stopped being contributors to a world that values one another, especially those with little power, so minimally?
I couldn't agree more with the last commentator's outrage over how women are continually objectified and how that's part of why there's so much abuse of women around the world, but I think tying it to the housing crisis is a bit of a stretch. Greed, in both men and women led to the houseing bubble, from criminal bankers to owners who constantly used their homes as money machines. Also, isn't this woman voluntarily doing this thing that in most cases would be called prostitution? I don't care how much money is going to charity, this woman ought to be aware of what message she's sending, no matter the worth of the cause. Also, how is this related to architecture?
Sex builds.
But at $3,000 maybe not for the guy.
I suppose every website's editors, trying to meet the constant need for content, drop into the dregs for material. I give you Exhibit A.
Thank heavens! I was afraid that I'd actually have to pay the bitch $3 for the best five minutes of her life. Glad I'm off the hook on that.
Yo!
why is this lame article even on archinect?
