I've seen worse on ebay. There will always be crazy people selling stupid junk on it. Check out Jay Leno's Tonight Show. Sometimes they show the worse on Ebay, although it is questionable whether some of the items they listed are real.

Kid, dress your link! Think of the children, you horrible person. And that's one in-your-face avvie you got there. Yikes.

OT: Yes, ebay sales are often stupid. Unfortunately for the ebay people, many such things as this are spoofs, where they won't make any money on the transaction. Unfortunately for the human gene pool, many others are not spoofs.

THIS is why Ebay charges people to post auctions. The fool and his money are soon parted.

Why oh why is there even a MARKET for this crap? I can see Caffeine-Free Coke (Don't want to be up all night, but you want something sweet). I can see Diet Coke (Don't want all of those calories, but maybe you need some caffeine to wake you up). Caffeine-Free Diet Coke though? You're paying 50 cents for a can of nasty, foul tasting swill. At that point, you'd be better off just drinking water.

There's worse. Didn't someone try to auction off an air guitar once? Or several times?

Just as there are people who like escargot, there are people who like the tase of Coke but don't want the calories or caffeine.

Not only that, but since I started hanging around here, I think I've seen sales for the Holy Grail, the planet Tatooine (spelled just like that, IIRC) the ghost of someone's grandfather, and a possessed doll.

Human stupidity and shysterism knows no bounds...

HEY!!!!! What's wrong with escargot? I mean, aside from being overpriced considering its just some fucking snails. Unless it's some kind of rare snail that is only found in deepest parts of the Forests of Loss, which in turn are near the top of the Wailing Mountains, that you have to cross the River of Dispair to get to. So people have to go to all the trouble of paying for a cargo helicopter to harverst a buch of snales.

Take a poll of how many people like the stuff.

Anyway, do you people actually go LOOKING for these ridiculous ebay auctions? I pretty much stick in the Transformers section.

I like the taste of Coke personally, and I generally don't drink it for a boost (caffeine has a minimal effect on me) but the problem is, caffeine free diet coke doesnt taste like Coke. It tastes like, well, polluted water.

Don't forget the old grilled cheese sandwich that looked like it had the face of Jesus on it. Or was it the face of Mary? Either way, complete bollocks.

Oh, yes, and the Darth Vader French Toast slice!

You know, it'd be funny if the guy who won the action lived only three or four blocks away from the guy who sold it. What a way to rub salt in the wound...

It's debatable just how popular these -weird- ebay items would be if it wasn't for thousands of people on message boards posting links to them.

I wish people would take similar interest in my ebay sales of history books and the like.
