Just Barely Interesting Ebay Auction.

Last year, it was an actual WW2 British aircraft carrier that sold for seven million bucks. I wanted it.

Then it was the softball-sized Cheeto that sold to a museum out west for $50,000. I didn't want that.

And now ladies and gentlemen, I present you with something that's not nearly as interesting, but still teetering on the edge of noteworthiness:

Anyone else in the mood for a Crystal Pepsi?


It's the inmate-friendly television! According to the auction, a man who spent 19 years in the U.S. prison system managed to sneak out this Swatch-cum-imac-cum-shitty tv set, when he was released. Notice how it's completely clear. In case it's not obvious why, that was probably to prevent weapons, drugs or other contraband from being hidden during cell inspections. I mean, a prisoner would never think to break off a piece of that plastic and make a knife. Or use that nice power cord for something creative.

Whatever the explanation, it has now found itself where 98% of all non-organic matter in the universe eventually ends up. On Ebay.

Nice spelling, assmonkey. It's 'cord,' not 'chord' And I was the one who didn't learn english till 4th grade.

Thanks for the English lesson. By the way, "English" should be capitalized, dumbass. How long did it take you to graduate college again? :)

Don't be hatin'.
