Amazing.
It’s up to $1.75 already.
How much you wanna bet people are entering bids in their enemy’s names?
Anyone want to enter a bid in the name of Osama?
That has to be one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen! I dig the part where he says “Most likely though I will just fly in, kick your ass, and then leave.”
That’s hilarious…
HAHAHAHAAA!!! I know that guy!! He’s a regular on the SomethingAwful boards, and I think he even posted a thread about his auction on there.
Don’t bother looking if you’re not registered there already, by the way.
I wonder if he can get in trouble for using the Ebay logo and making it look like a real ebay page? Is this supposed to be considered fair game as satire or parody?
Nah, it’s an archive of an actual eBay page. He submitted the “item” for auction, it got a few bids, then eBay took it down for obvious reasons. It was pretty funny though. I’ll see if I can rustle up a thread where he talks about it, if you’re interested.
Cliff Yablonski? What ever happened to his page, I can’t get there any longer?
You can get to Cliff Yablonski’s page just fine from the front page. You just can’t get to the forums if you don’t already have an account unless you pay to sign up.

The webmaster of SA is having some problems keeping the servers up for both his humor page and the forums because of bandwidth issues/costs. Here’s his explanation of the whole thing, copied from the forums login page:
Now I’m sure some of you more mentally challenged individuals out there may be whining, “But Rich ‘Lowtax’ Kyanka, you’re a stupid moron fag! Why should I have to pay to post on your forums? I can post on other forums for free!” You don’t have to post here. Nobody is forcing you. If you don’t want an account, don’t pay me. However, SA is serving over 110 gigs a day. 110 gigs. With a “g.” These forums are not sponsored by the government; I have to pay for the bandwidth out of my own pocket. If you’re some retarded 14-year old who still lives with his parents and spends all day using their Internet connection to post to Unreal Tournament forums and talk about how when you get older you’re going to join the SWAT Team and shoot terrorists, you probably won’t understand this concept and probably have significant difficulties with basic reading comprehension.
I pay for this server. I pay for this bandwidth. I am tired of having to fork over half my paycheck from my full-time job just so people can use my forums and read my site for free. This is not an intelligent business equation for me. I have no problem giving people free services as long as I DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR THE LUXURY OF PROVIDING SOMETHING TO YOU FOR FREE. You may not understand this idea. You may be outraged at me trying to keep from going broke by running a free site. I don’t care what people like you think since you apparently live in some imaginary world where fairies and elves dance under licorice trees and the family dog that you have sex with every day is actually a beautiful princess who doesn’t try to chew off your penis. Good for you, drop me an email when you have a real job and run a website that serves over 110 gigs of traffic a day and over 720,000 pages daily. Until then, go back to playing games all day, gossiping on IRC, and continuing to fester delusions regarding how the real world operates.
In conclusion, users may now purchase a SA forum account for $9.95.
That’s why I was saying if you don’t have an account there, or you were banned (like myself), you don’t need to worry about finding the thread.
I had previously thought the “hail brak” guy posted word about this on another forum in addition to SA, but I was mistaken, so I can’t get to his thread either. DOH!!!
