Really stupid eBay items

Inspired by a segment on Jay Leno, I thought it might be fun to start a thread in which we all try to find really stupid items for sale on eBay. I'll start us off with some tasty snacking fun.

For 79 cents you can get this lovely potato chip shaped like Texas.

And for just 20 cents more, you can get this fantastic potato chip shaped like an SUV.

And what's really sad is that there's 2 bids on that first one.

A woman recently sold her 10 year old girl cheese sandwitch on ebay for a large sum of money.

And I recently sold my Atari system on ebay for over 200 dollars.

That wasn't any normal sandwich, it had the Virgin Mary in it!@

That's freakin' awesome and a testament to american absurdity when someone will a.) sell a potato chip solely on the fact that it is shaped like Texas, and b.) buy a potato chip for any amount of money greater than its actual value simply because its shaped like Texas.

It's no wonder we're goin' extinct. ;p

If we're going extinct, then why are we so overpopulated?

Overpopulation leads to extinction my friend. Look at a virus when it infects a host. Why does the host die? Because the virus overpopulates the host and it dies of the side effects of having too many parasitic creatures living within it. In turn, because the host dies, the virus dies, unless it can find a new host.

Hmmmm....

What each does to its host: (Virus host=higher organism, human host=Earth)
Humans-----------------------------------------------Virus
excess waste-----------------------------------------excess waste
energy consumption---------------------------------energy consumption
Destruction of Environments------------------------destruction of cells
Abuse of Resources----------------------------------abuse of cells in reproduction
overpopulation----------------------------------------non-stop reproduction
Space Travel------------------------------------------new host

You do the math. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Because all of those other things will last you more than a day or until you accidentally squeeze the chip too hard, whichever comes first. /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />
