Hahaha......

Capitalism at its best.

I wish Craigslist had been around during each of my pregnancies (my youngest just turned eighteen).

Default There's a booming market for positive pregnancy tests on Craigslist

There's a booming market for positive pregnancy tests on Craigslist

"Here's a trend that's far more disturbing than your average casual encounter ad: Women are selling, or in the market for, positive pregnancy tests on Craigslist. In the last few months, a growing number of listings have been popping up on the classified ad site selling these baby prognosticators for roughly $25 to $30 a pop. And these aren't for fleeting practical jokes. One listing reads, "Wanna get your boyfriend to finally pop the question?" Another woman is in need of a positive test (or urine, she isn't picky) to get back at her "cheating lying dog" of a boyfriend." [Source]

Women have been manipulating men by telling them they are pregnant for eons. (Where have you been?) It's tremendously low, it's a stupid thing to do, and it rarely ends well, but it is nothing new.

Trying to make money off it is a new twist. I thought the conservatives liked free enterprise.

Folks are shocked that women would try and fake a pregnancy to get their man? Same folks who scream about guys who don't pay their child support on time to these same evil women I'm sure.

Except those tests are notoriously inaccurate, especially if the woman is using any kind of hormone-based birth control. If my GF were to show me a positive urine test, the next stop would be to the clinic for the blood-based test.
