I saw some other funny auctions. One for a lady selling her baby's name for $4,000+ http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270328527480 and another auction to sponsor a wedding: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320329134047 http://crazycraponebay.blogspot.com/ I doubt the buyer completed the auction.

Stop with the 1930s "Reefer Madness" drug slang, please, we have enough of that from Republicans. I'd be more worried if the kid was drinking alcohol, a DRUG that is a scourge on society.

Want to make $9K on a video game? "Fire up" the anti-drug crowd with a story about how you are selling the video game to punish your pot-head son. Every Christmas season, some joker sells their kids toys and gifts on eBay as some sort of "punishment" for bad behavior. What's next? Are we going to sell an iPhone on eBay because we caught our underage daughter having sex in the parents bed? Are we going to sell a Playstation 3 because little Jimmy wouldn't share his basketball with the neighborhood kids? I know, we can extend it all year! Sally came home with a poor report card. Bad Sally, no special birthday laptop for you! Get real people. The seller made the whole thing up. If the kid can afford pot, he can afford to go out and get his own Guitar Hero III video game. It's only $90. Oh, sorry, he can buy it on eBay using PayPal for less than that.
