US Woman Has Put Up Her Husband for Sale

A US woman has put up her husband for sale after she grew tired of him playing video games.

21-year-old Alyse Baddley, frustrated by her husband Kyle's unresponsive behaviour, told her mother-in-law that she was going to sell her husband on the online advertising company.

Turning Children Creative � Positive Side Of Video Games
a new study shows that video games can turn the players more creative, regardless of whether the games are violent or nonviolent.

"I'm going to sell your son on Craigslist," ABC News quoted Alyse as saying.

"She said, 'Oh do it!" she added.

So the two composed a message on the Logan, Utah, site offering to trade Kyle to a "good home."

Video Game Treatment Could Help Correct 'Lazy Eye'
Playing video games along with standard treatment can help fix amblyopia, also called lazy eye in older children, finds study.

"Kyle enjoys eating and playing video games all day," the advertisement read.

"And he's "easy to maintain, just feed and water every 3-5 hours.The bidder must have Internet and space for gaming," it read.

Violent Solutions Sought for Real Life Problems Thanks to Video Games
Playing video games induce some players to transfer their screen experiences into the real world, say researchers.

The Craigslist post noted that if an acceptable replacement was offered, Alyse would be willing to trade husbands with someone.

Alyse was surprised to receive a number for responses, mainly humorous messages from amused readers.

Playing Video Games May Not Improve Cognition
Previous studies that linked playing video games with better cognitive and multitasking skills is fundamentally flawed, US researchers say.

One woman offered to train Kyle and give him back, while another respondent, a man, wrote that he was already house-trained and would love to trade himself for Kyle, saying that he preferred reading books to playing video games.

But a few readers evidently took the ad more seriously, writing to Alyse that they were concerned about her relationship with Kyle.

Kyle's father, Scott Baddley, said he saw no cause for the concern.

Scott said that Kyle was not devoting as much time to "Modern Warfare" now.

The couple was on their way to Florida to spend Thanksgiving with Kyle's sister.
