This now happens more than ever.Absolutely incredible that this stuff still happens!
Just read Mara Hvistendahl's fascinating book Unnatural Selection: Choosing Boys Over Girls, and the Consequences of a World Full of Men. She has a chapter on the Vietnamese villages that breed baby girls for export, and the hotel meetings at which these girls are auctioned off to Asian men who don't speak a word of Vietnamese.

Whole regions of Vietnam, and other SE Asian areas, now depend on exporting girls to China, Korea and Taiwan.
What do you think sex- and love-starved men will do in countries where there's about 120 boys born for every girl? Both China and India are short of hundreds of millions of women of marriageable age.
Bride-buying is only the most harmless of many explosive social consequences resulting from a severe gender imbalance in Asian countries in which parents prefer boys over girls.
Hilarious!

Comes with a one-year warranty and straight from the factory too. I wonder what the maintenance is like on these models and if the warranty is still valid if you don't get the work done at the dealers.
ound:Doesn't say what cums standard and what options are available, or are they fully equipped like Japanese and Korean models. I'm not sure how well they'll hold up in our Canadian winters and how easy it is to get winter tires in their size.
Maybe I'll just play it safe and order a Ford from Oakville again. Buy Canadian!
They are actually. The ad is intended for Chinese men. (It's written in Chinese) The English part is not part of the ad, neither are the pictures.
Since there is only a picture of the ad (in other words, a picture of a picture), it's probably not an advertisement in the newspaper; it's probably an article about the ad. (The newspaper is Vietnamese).
Like Tantalyzeme said, there are billions of unmarried men in China due to sex selection and the one-child policy, so some go outside their own country to find a mate.
The newspaper is not Chinese, or Japanese, it actually appears to be Vietnamese.
Importing wives from less affluent parts of asia is alot more common than you would think in developed areas like Southern China and Japan. I personally know someone who's responsibility it is to deal with the northern chinese girls who run away from their husbands once legally in Japan. (Government Job dealing with immigration, not some horrible headhunter) At first glance it of course gives off a vibe of being a totally exploitative, but there are other sides to the stories. The girls aren't running away because they are mistreated, or were forced to come against their will, they run away because they had no intention of forming a relationship whatsoever. Instead they use the husband to cover travel and immigration expenses and once they are there, they run away and find jobs that will hire those without proper documentation.
I'm not saying there arent instances of exploitation though, just saying that all such arrangements arent always such a terrible thing for either party.
Emmy beat me to it
I also agree with her point that it appears the ad is not an ad but a picture of an ad from a chinese newspaper
Yes this pic doesn't pass the smell test. Why place an English language ad in a Vietnamese paper, when your target is neither people living in Vietnam or speaking Vietnamese?
Now I'm not saying that it doesn't happen. Just type Vietnamese Dating into Google to see lots of agencies making money off women who want to escape poverty - not for themselves but for the families that they love and support. This particular photoshop job is just trolling the interwebs though.

I did an image search for the pic provided. It has been shown on many sites all over the internet. But on no major news sites that I could find. Why would the mainstream media be covering this up?
So I did a search using just the image of the girls, and found that our beautiful VN exploited angels are actually Chinese models
The pics are actually located on this flickr page about 70% down the page:

So now is this concoction a Vietnamese marriage agency using stolen pics for their ad? Or is it some trumped up ad by an NGO with an agenda and desire for increased funding to fight this atrocity - all from the comfort of their western left-wing offices.

"Take my wife, please!"

I would trust the old Jewish guy rather than these pics from Vietnam. My Spydie senses say "huge scam".

I wonder how much I would get for my wife?
Knowing that there are a whole bunch of guys out there that like Asian girls and english is not required, I bet you some of them are trying to fiqure out import duties and stuff for Canada customs.

Unsure if the script in the image above the image of the models is in Mandarin or Cantonese. The two images in this newspaper seem related and the explanatory caption may be above the newspaper images, but cut-off. The English script below may not be related to the images at all.
Anyone able to read and translate?
Avery, do you know which newspaper this came from, or where did you get from?

I can read enough Mandarin to tell you that yes, the English below is a translation of the ad (not word for word, but same idea - it says Vietnam bride in 3 months then lists those same 4 points)
English is the language of communication between Asians from different countries. I once visited a friend from Hong Kong (Cantonese) and also visiting him were people from Japan and Taiwan (Mandarin). Even if I hadn't of been there the only language they had in common was English.
Geez, you're smart. will u marry me?
Good work team. Our collective investigative skills have shown even Asian newspaper ads use fake pics.
and market one Oriental ethnic group as another, cuz we white guys just can't tell the difference.Yep, I dont know much about the frequency in Kanto or Kansai, but by what I have heard by my friend, it is fairly common in the Chubu region. (more countryside)
Of course Filipino and Vietnamese are also quite common.
I do know one person who has gone through such a transaction, they are still married and have a son, so they dont all fail. (she's way younger than him though.) It wasn't a direct "purchase" of a bride as portrayed by this ad, the agency sent him many pictures and bio's, then he selected a few and flew to china and they introduced him to the girls. With the assistance of a translator he went through an interview process with each girl where there was mutual interest in such an arrangement. After everything was said and done he paid an agency fee, travel, medical, and application expenses. (I dont know how much, sorry) She came over and met him 2 months later.
It was emailed to me by an old friend. I have no idea where he got it.
Even if the girls are actually Chinese models, it doesn't prove the ad is a scam. It may well be a scam, or perhaps whoever placed the ad is taking their cues from Backpage and using hijacked photos to promote less attractive girls.
In any case, I'm not buying. Like all the guys on this board, I prefer renting.
