Photos Of Giant Bush/Monkey Billboard

[Placebo]

Cars stream past an electronic billboard at the entrance to New York City's Holland Tunnel to New Jersey, December 22, 2004 as an image of a painted portrait of U.S. President George W. Bush with a 'Censored in NY' banner over it is projected. Painted by artist Christopher Savido, the work 'Bush Monkeys,' painted using monkeys to form the image, was banished from an art show in New York last week amid charges of censorship and is now being projected on the billboard and auctioned on Ebay with part of the proceeds donated to the Artist's 'Art for Armor' cause to help parents of U.S. soldiers wishing to supply their sons and daughters with body armor in Iraq.

4. 15000 + right now

there are some serious bidders on this painting and it doesn`t include reproduction rights. 15000 plus isn`t chump change.

It looks like the painting is going to sell well.

How much body armor can $15,300 buy?

However, the current high bidder, rogermeacock, looks, in my opinion, like he's trying to disrupt the auction.

Roger Me A Cock.
In case you don't know, "Roger" is British slang for "fuck."

It looks like a joke name; Like Naughtius Maximus or Biggus Dickus.

He's never bought anything on Ebay.
He's only sold two things on Ebay.

I think he's trying to freep the auction.

10. congratulations on 666 posts!

it's been awhile since i've done anything on ebay, but can't you get bounced for making a fraudulent bid like that, or is it the normal three negative feedbacks?
