I love this stuff, I really do... http://www.cnn.com/video/?hpt=hp_t3#/video/crime/2012/08/27/exp-ng-bride-murder-for-hire.hln
I have a coworker who has tried two mail order brides. He's Hispanic with an Asian fetish. Each time he got ripped off to the tune of $10-15,000. Bride #3 eventually came over, but they divorced a couple of years later. I told him he'd have been much better off using Asian hookers.
I work with an older guy that has a mail order bride and he loves it. They've been together like 10 years. I think its kinda weird. But, if she makes good sandwiches, its whatever.
At least when I sent away for those x-ray spex in 2nd grade I got something for my money. A lesson in light diffraction.
