It sounds like a joke, but it's real. After reading Lean in by Sheryl Sandberg, a book for women to take charge of their work lives, this lady in San Francisco decided to also take charge of her marriage prospects. She is offering a reward of $10000 to any of her friends who introduces her to her future husband - the money would be paid on their wedding day.

I would have said, pay $1000 annually for the first 10 years, because what if a so-called friend colludes with a fake husband to fleece her of her money, and she's hit with an annulment after the money is paid?

I think the remit was too wide, being both African, and the 21st century. Most of the movies she lists are actually from the last ten years, and I totally agree with her about Sinking Sands. White Waters is an OK movie too.
