Right... I'll put it more bluntly than before:
She's a freak.
If her child was the center of attention, instead of her own apparent interest in being the center, perhaps the tattoo would have not been necessary... Nah! She would have done it anyway, probably to buy more crap on Ebay.
Oh, and she received 15,000 dollars. They threw in an extra fiver because she *said* it's for her child's education. That's gotta be great publicity for an internet gambling casino that buys oddities.
Now she's an oddity too.
We'll see how much of it actually ends up being spent on her kid's education... actually, we probably won't unless her kid sues her to cough it up and it makes front page of the national enquirer, Jerry Springer? The moneymaking possibilities are endless!
It's not desperation, it's a social dis-ease.
