Woman puts husband up for sale on Craigslist … a Logan, Utah woman posted an ad on Craigslist this week offering her 22-year-old husband up on the site’s “Free Stuff” section. Alyse Bradley’s ad reads, “Easy to maintain, just feed and water every 3-5 hours. He enjoys eating and playing video games all day.” According to the Salt Lake City Tribune, her husband, Kyle, who recently returned from Afghanistan with a back injury, said gaming is one way he can keep in touch with his military friends. Once he got the new Modern Warfare 3 game which came out on November 8th, he was hooked. On a particularly long gaming day, Alyse said, “I didn’t see him much at all. So one day I told him, ‘I am going to post you on Craigslist, you know.’ My mother-in-law said, ‘Do it!’” Some have taken her very seriously and others have played along and even offered to replace Kyle but she says it was just a joke. Kyle said, “I love my wife. She supported me when I got the game. It’s just funny.”

She admits that she does not reveal personal data on the site and that her profile wouldn’t be easily found. McCarthy said, “I mean, I don’t know. It’s so hard out here. The guys are like chicks out here. There’s no real guy guys, so maybe importing from somewhere will be smart. Anyone not from L.A. I think.”
