A quick story about James Blunt:
A few years ago, James Blunt's sister needed to attend a funeral in Ireland, but had no means of transportation to get there. So Blunt, being the generous individual that he is, put his sister on eBay, and auctioned her off to the highest bidder. Whoever placed the winning bid would get a few hours alone with her, provided he brought her to the Ireland funeral. Basically, it was the worst online dating service of all-time. Remarkably, people actually bid on this, and a man with a private helicopter won. The man took Blunt's sister to the funeral, and -- get this -- he's now married to her.
It's a pretty ridiculous (yet true) story, and you can read the whole thing over at Guardian Unlimited.
