Adam Clark decided that his sister Natalie needed a boyfriend, so he did what any caring brother would do – he advertised her on Gumtree and Facebook. He advertised her.
But the advertising thing isn’t the most shocking part. The most shocking part is that it worked.
Wales Online reports that Adam, 26, made a video about how desperate Natalie, 33, was to find a man. She was furious with him for sharing it on Facebook – until it got thousands of hits and she was INUNDATED with romantic offers.
Now it seems she quite thrilled:
“At first I was shocked and kicked off,” she told Wales Online. “But then I began to see the funny side and now I’m thankful.”
Have a look at the video Adam made and see if you’d be thankful:

"The most shocking part is that it worked." - Did it? I don't think we know that yet.
"Natalie has had around 70 messages.
She says she’s whittled potential dates down to between five and eight and may even be heading out on a date this week." - Wales Online
Sounds like the same response you'd get from any dating profile... Whether it "worked" will be decided if/when she meets someone she forms a relationship with...
Seriously? A brother and sister have a joke, then both laugh about it.
Now you are reducing it down to the percentage/age effectiveness rating of the message, the success rate percentile on a dating site and whether a relationship is formed based solely on their sibling joke to ascertain the worth of this gag.
My sisters and I like to laugh together, we would all have had a hoot with this.
If my sisters did that to me I'd be stoked and we would all have a laugh about it for the next 10 years when we meet annually for Christmas dinner. I guess it takes all sorts.
