I think when you set aside you're own self and become desperate for money, thereby willing to do anything for x amount, then you have violated exactly what Scripture tells us. Its crystal clear in the Bible. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Ecclesiastes 5:10 Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless. Matthew 6:24 No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money. Hebrews 13:5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." The Bible basically tells us money is worthless. Money should be used primarily as a form of worship by giving back to God for what He has given you. You can't serve two masters; you can't love one without despising the other. God promised that He would never leave nor forsake us, but when we forsake Him for the love of something else, our faith becomes pierced. I know this topic is harmless, but logic and God's word should be thought about before you consider doing something embarrassing all for the sake of getting something you'll never have enough of.
