How do you guys find that stuff?

I never did that, but we may be looking for different things. Wich leads to the question: "what ............?"

Fun indeed - mostly the first one - the second one was a bit sad in my eyes.

check the price!

Highest bid by a 1299 items 99,9% ebayer!

astroman · Post by **astroman** » Wed Apr 28, 2004 5:12 am

on it's way to the hall of fame approaching 2 mill hits

strangely, with the price tag it's not so much fun anymore - I've expected it to go pretty high, but that's

anyway, he has my full sympathy - one of the best laughs ever

and maybe the beginning of a writer's career ?

cheers, Tom

Whats funny is,

I was talking about that with my wife today, she had mentioned that the auction gained such popularity that the guy was on the today show. Funny how a simple thing like a guy spouting off about his ex can lead to such good funny things.

The News today told he's candidate president of the US now.

I saw this guy on MSNBC last night. Unfortunately I only caught like the last 15 seconds of the interview. He was wearing the wedding dress too. I suppose he's probably been on all the news shows by now. Jerry Springer is next.

Quite amazing how some schmuck selling a wedding dress on Ebay can become a star overnight. Maybe he will get his own TV show or record deal.

Isn't that where reality is sort of heading these days? Andy Warhol was correct. In the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes

Or maybe a polititian will hire him as a PR manager

The bad news is he would become some stupid nickname. I wouldn't like to be his son.

The most important thing is it doesn't hurt anybody.

Besides - everybody has a profit from it:
1. The guy earned some money for the dress and became popular
2. People have fun
3. Ebay became yet stronger
4. Firms advertised on ebay are better known and increase their income
5. People selling things there have larger traffic
6. TVs, radiostations, newspapers etc...

The string is even longer, I belive.
