This Woman Will Give An iPad Or $500 To The Person Who Finds/Becomes Her Soulmate - Redmond Pie

Ta Smith, a lady from Australia, has announced that she is willing to giveaway an iPad on $500 in cash in exchange for a soulmate.

Ta tweeted the following from her twitter account last night:

An iPad, or $500 to the person who sets me up with the person I marry. GO, power of social media

What started as a joke-tweet has actually turned into a proper competition of sorts wherein the winner will get either a 16GB WiFi-only iPad or $500 flat.

The competition is appropriately titled find my soulmate competition and it has a simple premise. There are two basic ways of winning: you either find Tas soulmate for her or you become her soulmate.

The person who introduces Ta to the one will get an iPad or $500 cash. People who retweet/share will enter a lucky draw for an iPad as well. It unclear at the moment if she has separate iPads for the soulmate-finder and the soulmate himself.

From Tas blog:

A few months ago, a friend of mine had the idea to market himself via Facebook ads, which intrigued me but a tongue-in-cheek comment on Twitter last night has led to me having a stellar idea.

I work with social media. I market online. Why use a dating site? Why not do something that drives real leads to me, that I control? And also pimp my own services as well? Seems win-win.

And, thus my find me a soulmate competition was born.

This isnt the first time weve seen people agree to give up something in exchange for an iOS device. There was a 17 year old from China who sold his kidney to buy himself an iPad. If you think this is crazy, then you should read about a teenaged girl from China was willing to sell her virginity in exchange for an iPhone 4. Yes sir, thats how highly-valued an iPhone 4 is for certain people. In Tas case, however, an iPad is being given away instead of being bought in exchange for something.

If you want to take part in the competition, you may read up the guidelines posted by Ta along with three photographs of herself as well as tons of personal information such as age, location, preferences etc. I personally like how she is reasonably geeky and hates the Twilight series; but thats really all I like about her.

But then again, as Shakespeare said, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.

Godspeed, gentlemen! May the best man win!
