Ebay promotes nonsense

My favourite was a guy selling an air guitar (aka air).  He had a full description, how often it was "used", previous owners, and I swear I'm not kidding, it sold for at least ten thousand dollars,
WTF, are people stupid?

Speaking of air guitar:

E-bay and Pete Cornish pedals seem excessive at times, but for a real laugh I reckon modern art is tops.  Pollack sells for US$20 MILLION per square yard.  Or pay a million for Andy W's picture of a can of soup.  I think a lot of the blame can be attributed to Duchamp, who declared that a "bottlerack" and a "urinal" (signed) were art, and was subsequently regarded as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century (True!).

And you'd have to wonder whether Manzoni was serious when he canned his own shit and sold it.  Those cans fetch amazing prices when they come up for auction!!

Wow.  :shock:

There is some things that are equally stupid or even worse than the one that sticks in my memory! I guess there is a sucker born every minute...

Did you know that the Luwak is the same cat that was supposed to be the origin of the SARS virus?  As if there wasn't ENOUGH reason NOT to PUT YOUR LIPS ON ANYTHING THAT'S BEEN NEAR A CATS HINEY!

"Why oh why" is exactly right.  :-)
