Some Funny Shiz



Gotta tell ya: People are scary. Check this out:

"As stated in the posting from an anonymous seller in Ames, Iowa, about Item No. 7505627192 -- "Kelly Clarkson's Used Bottled Water from Omaha Concert" -- on the e-Bay online auction site: "I am auctioning off (1) 16.9 fluid ounce bottle of Dasani bottled water that Kelly Clarkson drank"--TeenPeople.com


So, I was curious... did the good folks at eBay take the item down? Nope:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=85960&item=7507074651&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

In case the item is taken down, here's some text from the description:

OKAY FOLKS, THIS IS A RELISTED AUCTION FROM BEFORE THAT EBAY UNFAIRLY CANCELLED. THEY CITED THAT I HAD BROKEN SOME RULE ABOUT LISTINGS INVOLVING HUMAN REMAINS, WHICH CLEARLY THIS ISN'T.

THIS AUCTION IS FOR A BOTTLED WATER...

ON APRIL 2 I ATTENDED KELLY'S CONCERT AT THE OMAHA MUSIC HALL. I WAS IN ROW 1 SEAT 14, WHICH PUT ME RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE, ABOUT THREE FEET AWAY FROM KELLY.

AFTER ABOUT THE THIRD OR FOURTH SONG, SHE OPEN UP THIS 16.9 FLUID OUNCE BOTTLE OF DASANI AND DRANK FROM IT. AFTER THE SHOW ENDED, WHILE THE ROADIES WERE TEARING DOWN THE STAGE, I ASKED ONE OF THEM FOR THE BOTTLE AND HE GAVE IT TO ME.

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN THIS GREAT KELLY CLARKSON MEMORABILIA. HER LIPS TOUCHED THIS BOTTLE! WHO IS THE BIGGEST KELLY COLLECTOR OUT THERE? YOU HAVE TO OWN THIS BOTTLE IF THAT IS YOU!

THE WINNER GETS THIS BOTTLE, GUARANTEED TO BE KELLY'S BOTTLE, ALONG WITH MY TICKET FROM THE CONCERT PROVING I WAS IN THE FRONT ROW, RIGHT IN FRONT OF KELLY.


And, what's really sad about the whole thing -- no one's bidding. There are 2 days left, and there are no takers. Yet, if you're in the market for "used socks", then you're in luck: http://search.ebay.com/used-socks_W0QQfromZR40QQsojsZ1 But the bidding is competitive -- get your bids in before it's too late...

Yeesh... all of the above is proof the world is coming to a swift end. --Nicole

That's funny shit! Anybody want a cruddy, pre-chewed piece of gum? Gary Coleman spit it out the other day and I ran and grabbed it before anyone else could get their hands on it!
