Octomom Sells Bra in Bid to Fend Off Foreclosure

Suleman holds yard sale to raise funds for $450K house payment

(Newser) – Octomom Nadya Suleman, facing foreclosure if she can't make a $450,000 balloon mortgage payment next month, spent the weekend hawking her "memorabilia." Items, including eight "little devil" Halloween costumes and an autographed nursing bra, were on sale at a yard sale outside Suleman's Los Angeles County home. "She's struggling right now," her lawyer tells People. "Things have begun to get dire. But several times in the past, just when things got bad, the money comes in. She's hopeful things will work out."

For $10, visitors could have their photo taken with the unwed mom, and for $100, they could be snapped with Suleman and her octuplets, who will turn 2 in January. Suleman—who sat on a couch billed as "the couch where Nadya learned she was having octuplets"—complained about media coverage making her life a farce. "The media has turned me into somebody I wouldn't even want to know," she told the Orange County Register.

"The media has turned me into somebody I wouldn't even want to know," she said. No darlin, your stupidity is confirmed by the dire situation that your selfish cluelessness has placed you in.

A yard sale to raise almost a half a million dollars... how ridiculous and pathetic is that? I see that Suleman hasn't gotten any smarter since she decided to have eight kids all at once while living in a three bedroom house with her mother... And the bank loan officer that gave this dim bulb a home loan with a half million dollar balloon payment ought to be fired.

People like this should never have been allowed to have this many children that she cannot take care of...it is simply child abuse and she must be a dim on welfare at this point.
