<snip>

NEW YORK -- Online auction site eBay said it's removing a listing for "KKK Snowmen and Snow-women."

The ad said the crude clay figurines have removable white pointy hoods, representing members of the Ku Klux Klan.

The starting bid was listed at $13.77.

As of Thursday night, no bids had been placed for the items.

An eBay spokeswoman told the New York Daily News that the listing violated the company's offensive materials policy and would be taken down.

Past offerings removed from the site include a pocket knife with a Klan shield, an antique Klan hood and a T-shirt featuring a burning cross.

again: :wtf:
