A dad put a very creepy ad in a magazine jobs section to find a husband for his daughter
DADS OF IRELAND: Do not do this to your daughters. We repeat: Do NOT do this to your daughters.
Tumblr Tumblr
Evidently worried that his 26-year-old daughter Rachel was fast becoming an old maid, US church elder Stephen Stewart decided to place this ad in evangelical magazine Christianity Today:
As if advertising your daughter for marriage wasn’t enough, he had to make reference to her virginity. Blech.
Christianity Today has since apologised to readers for publishing the ad, saying it was “demeaning and in poor taste”.
However in a now-deleted post on her blog, Rachel appeared to take the whole thing in her stride.
“I’m not angry or embarrassed, I’m just nervous that if this doesn’t work out, next I’ll find my face plastered on a billboard,” she wrote.
Don’t joke, Rachel. He’s just about desperate enough.
