Prankster 'Sells' Girl's Virginity on Web Monday February 28 9:23 AM ET dailynews.yahoo.com BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Dozens of Internet surfers bid in a prank to ``buy' a fictitious girl's virginity only to have their names, addresses and messages to the young woman published later. An unidentified Hungarian posted the photo on a Web site saying the girl was a Hungarian named Szandra and would be ready to lose her virginity for a ``fair sum of money.' The prankster then posted the names, phone numbers, e-mail addresses and letters of the 13 highest bidders on the site, which continues to run the list. The highest offer came from an American man offering 500,000 forints ($1,886) to have sex with the fictitious girl. 'Those who didn't realize that it was a joke should suffer,' the prankster wrote in a message on the site. It was not known whose picture the joker had posted. The site attracted more than 5,000 visitors in less than 24 hours, daily Nepszabadsag said.
