International Bride Business is Booming
January 8, 2011 at 1:04 pm
If you're a graduating senior still unsure of what you're doing post-college in an economy like today's, we hope you've considered the mail-order bride business. Uh, that is, the business of international love...with Eastern European hotties. It's like having an adorable long-distance relationship, only the exact opposite.
Joseph Weiner, a Wharton alum, has become the hottest new celebrity on the web. Quoted in Bloomberg Businessweek as well as the NY Mag, the 73-year-old spoke about his booming business, Hand-In-Hand, which is responsible for setting up American men with Czech women that are "unspoiled by feminism." But don't worry, the company's totally progressive—they've even been hitting up the gay market for the past year-and-a-half!
It doesn't seem that the Writing Requirement was around in Weiner's day; Hand-In-Hand's website is riddled with typos and grammar errors. Nevertheless, all you scorned Penn students still seeking that perfect mate, for the modest price of $2000, you too can take a chance on love.
