Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Back Up on EBay |
|
MIAMI - The Internet auction house eBay Inc. reversed itself Tuesday and is allowing bids for half of a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich that its owner says bears the image of the Virgin Mary.
Diana Duyser, of Hollywood, put the sandwich up for sale last week, drawing bids as high as $22,000 before eBay pulled the item Sunday night. The page was viewed almost 100,000 times before being taken down.
An e-mail Duyser received from eBay said the sandwich broke its policy, which "does not allow listings that are intended as jokes."
But Duyser, a work-from-home jewelry designer who has bought and sold items on eBay for two years, said the grilled cheese wasn't a joke.
The auction was back on Tuesday afternoon with a top bid of $5,100. The winning bidder also has to pay $9.95 for shipping. In mocking response, two similar items were later posted — grilled cheese sandwiches bearing the images of the Virgin Mary's used gum and Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=816&ncid=816&e=2&u=/ap/20041117/ap_on_fe_st/cheese_sandwich_ebaymore fun: http://search.ebay.com/virgin-mary-sandwich_W0QQcatrefZC6QQcoactionZcompareQQcoentrypageZsearchQQcopagenumZ1QQfromZR10QQsacategoryZQ2d1QQsojsZ1QQsosortorderZ2QQsosortpropertyZ3QQsotrZ2

2. Why does this always happen... |
|
You are the most powerful being in the universe. You could manifest yourself, give some evidence of your existence, by wiping out a disease, feeding millions of starving people, repairing an area destroyed by a natural disaster,but instead you choose imprint a grilled cheese sammich with the image of some chick you knocked up.

5. I wondered that too... |
|
why not appear, in full body form, in one of the world's major cities? You could have the full choir of angels overhead, part the seas, etc.
But instead you appear as a paint stain on the butt of somebody's pants, or a reflection on a basement window when the sun's just right, or a discoloration on the fur of a cat.
At LEAST spell out the words "I am the Lord thy God" in a bowl of Alpha-Bits, OK??
THEN I'll take you seriously.
