ebaY Jay Leno Tonight Show Scarlett Johansson Snot Auction Video

This is a follow-up to the recent post here:

Why Do They Call "IT" SleazebaY? Let Us Count the Ways... Again

Unbelievably (or not) that listing still remains, despite the fact that it clearly violates rules, and that very similar listings have been ended by ebay.
Furthermore, it appears ebay is censoring and/or attempting to hide or obscure the ongoing discussions of this real issue.

So much for the "Level Playing Field". It is non-existant. Even Google cannot find it on ebay.

ebaY Jay Leno Tonight Show Scarlett Johansson Snot Auction

This video deals with the listing for a cold-infected, used tissue being auctioned on the ebay site despite the numerous reasons why it should not be there.
I seriously and respectfully request Mr Leno. and Ms Johannson and/or any persons concerned to remove this listing, and for the bidders to all withdraw their bids and instead simply make their donations directly to the named charity.

I urge and advise everyone to complain vociferously to anywhere they can think of if this does not occur.

Here are the urls of the pages seen in the video:

Way to go Capp. You always seem to continually outdo your last video. There is a moral issue here as well as a safety issue. How sad that this is all happening, what has this world come to.

Bidders should know that a bid on these types of auctions are a huge signed that says STUPID on their reputation. As if one penny of that money would go to the charity. GEEEZZZZ

Thanks for posting it.

Merry Christmas

Thanks Cindi. :)))

Pretty funny they have to resort to this type of sleaziness to bring in traffic and generate publicity, isn't it?
Obviously this was some kind of set-up deal just for that purpose. Those famous people could give $5300 and never even notice the money missing. I see eb canceled a similar listing (at least one) and they also either deleted or made obscure posts on their 'community forums' about the situation.

I wonder what brainiac PR person must have dreamed this up? Now they may have just earned a new nickname BTW, maybe either "ebooger" or "boogerbay" lmao.

I doubt the stars made themselves any more popular by stooping to that low either. Regardless of how anyone wants to spin it.

Oh well, I tried what I thought was a good idea anyway.

Hope you are having nice Holidays. If I knew you were stopping by I would have hung the mistletoe. XD (jk)
