The weird thing is, he'll probably get some people to take him up on it.

Yard Sign Says Man Will Pay For Virgin Child Bride

POSTED: 8:17 am EDT April 20, 2006

BRAY, Okla. -- A man is causing an uproar in his rural southwestern Oklahoma town by advertising that he'd like to pay for a young virgin to be his bride.

Michael Theleman, 45, said he doesn't understand the problem and thinks he just has some wicked neighbors.

Theleman has caused an uproar in the southwestern Oklahoma town of Bray with his search for a bride. He put a sign in his yard Sunday saying he'll pay $1,000 for a virgin bride between the ages of 12 and 24.

One of his neighbors said she feels like she's living near a pedophile. As of Wednesday, there were no offers.

Theleman said he doesn't understand. He said his grandmother married "a much older man" at age 14.

After complaints, he put up a new sign Wednesday without the ages. The new sign said he's not interested in a "pig-worshipping, heathen, white-supremacist wife."

Stephens County District Attorney Gene Christian said Theleman's sign likely is legal.

Talk about desperate!! Can HE claim he's a virgin??? What a jerk!

Well, to start with.....

*Laughing my HEAD OFF!* Some people are STUPID!!!!

As of Wednesday, there were no offers.

ROTFLMAO, that bit made me laugh so much! What did he expect, for offers to flood in? I-D-I-O-T!

But seriously, I suppose it's kind of scary though. A 12-year-old bride? He should be arrested for that

I was laughing at his stupidity, *not* the actual story

My guess is he wants to buy a young bride so that he can have complete control over her. If a girl were to get into that situation, she would most likely become a victim of domestic violence. How sad - sounds pretty much like a pedophile to me.

This man is the perfect example of someone who should NOT marry or have children.

If I were a neighbor, I think I'd put up a sign asking for a sane, nonpedophile-oriented neighbor.

around here we would do that!!!! a few doors down a woman found out that there was a man who moved in and was a pedophile! so she went a put up a huge sign probably 10'x10'. he moved away within a week!

For a minute there I thought this was another Cah lee fuh nee ah story!

Well shucks, now isn't that a neighbor you would be proud to call your own?

He is probably going to wonder why people walk on the other side of his street and point at his house.

Talk about having a few screws loose.

Richard,

This story reminds me of another CA event. Not because of its content, but rather its title, "Not All Nuts Are in Candy".

Remember when a cult group all committed suicide one day - the day after Hale Bob comet passed. They were all living in some mansion and were found in bed (bunks), wearing black jump suits and Nikes. Apparently they thought that a spaceship was following Bob and was going to transport them to Heaven.

Anyways, the funniest thing I ever saw as a bumper sticker was several months later while visiting CA. I was behind a van that had a sticker which read, "CALIFORNIA... sooo many NUTS ... so few comets !!!

People should really stop and think before they label this guy a "pedophile" In some places in the world, its not only acceptable to be married at 12, but its almost expected. Heck, even in this country not too long ago it was perfectly fine for a 14 year old girl to marry a 30 yr old guy. (Longer time for the woman to have several children)

I don't think its appropriate for the guy to put up an ad in his front yard (especially since it seems like his neighbors are offended), but if a girl willingly enters into an arangement, (I stress the word WILLINGLY) then it is her choice in the matter, so long as there isnt anything illigal going on. (Not entirely sure on how marrage laws work there but in Nevada you can be married as early as 16 so long as you have a parent sign consent) Really though, I personally am of the belief that a bought marrage is doomed to fail (it works just like an arranged marage IMO).

I say let him have a virgin at whatever age is legal in his state (as states do have differing laws) I agree he shouldn't be advertising his disires in such a public manner, there are pleanty of places to advertise for that sort of thing, out of the public eye.
