Brazilian Woman Auctions Off Her Virginity ‘For Charity’

Today in Unquestionably Awful PR Stunts: A 20-year-old Brazilian woman named Catarina Migliorini recently went viral with her plans to “auction off” her virginity to the highest bidder. She told various media outlets that the purpose of this tasteless project was “to raise money for impoverished families in her country”—more specifically to fund “a non-governmental organization that will construct modern houses.”

This was news to the auction’s organizer, who told the Huffington Post that “He thought it was for profit and self-promotion.”
