Hey, remember Baron Brooks, the guy whose weirdo Republican dad made an "I need a wife ad" for him without his permission? Well, the plot weirdens. 

Turns out that Baron's dad Arthur made good on his word and showed up in the Idaho town of Coeur d'Alene (where the now-infamous ad was placed in a local newspaper) to interview women who responded to his personals ad seeking a conservative, not-fat woman "ready, willing and able to have children as soon as possible." 

Arthur will interview 12 hopefuls in the coming weeks, which would have shocked us if the internet's effect on human vanity hadn't already deadened our souls.
