Is This Modern Day Slavery?


I'm a little offended.....

Actually I'm a lot offended.... Well maybe I'm not.....
The more I think about this story my feelings do a complete see-saw. Here is the story:

This 40 year old guy named Michael Chambers is an avid runner... he is going to compete in the next New York City marathon, so obviously he has been training. For his 40th Birthday, his family chips in and gets him........ A Kenyan Runner (for the day). The family purchased the runner for $400 a day.

I know slavery is over, but........... Then the more I thought about it, would this be like hiring Whitney Houston to sing at your wedding, or Lil Wayne at a birthday party?
