Call of Duty Modern Warfare Widow Sells Husband (sort of)

When the latest war-themed video game hit store shelves a couple of weeks ago, we brought you the story of how the makers of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 plan on helping obsessed gamer become even more obsessed.  They launched a new service called "Elite", a complex and data-rich system that encourages players to be part of a community of gamers, form teams and clans, keep track of their game statistics, study maps when not actually playing, and so on.

You might wonder if there really are enough players out there that are so consumed by this game they'd dedicated that much of their time to it.

Well... does selling your husband on Craigslist convince you?

Utah's Alyse Bradley might just be kidding around.  But she did in fact offer him up on the website's Free Stuff section:

He Enjoys eating and playing video games all day. Easy to maintain, just feed and water every 3-5 hours.

Kyle Bradley, the Modern Warfare enthusiast and husband in question, thinks all of this is pretty funny.  What do you think?
