American DJ Howard Stern is to auction off a young woman's virginity. She'll use the money to pay for her college education and says her "conservative" teacher mother is supportive. "I understand some people may condemn me," the woman, 22, says. "But I think this is empowering. I'm using what I have to better myself." And will she still feel the same way when the money is all spent - on a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy, if the story is to be believed - and her 15 minutes of fame is well and truly over?
