Brazilian Man Tries to Sell Wife on eBay

By on May 8, 2007 in Ideas


The Brazilian government has appealed to Conar (Self-Regulation Advertising Council) so that that bureau punishes Brazil’s eBay, the Mercado Livre site, for allowing an ad in which the author describes himself as a man trying to sell his own wife. The individual, who signs as Breno Bonin, asks a mere 100 reais (US$ 50) for the spouse, whom he calls “very good in bed and great in the kitchen.

“NilcĂ©a Freire, Brazil’s secretary for Women Policies, didn’t think the ad, which has already been pulled out by the auction site, was funny. She denounced the posting as offensive and a booster for the idea that women are objects that can be manipulated by men.
