From my previous post:
Are you guys ready for a good chuckle? Check out the no. 13 WP store -- over 1300 items and only 1 FB from another store seller. Look at item 241162 and be sure to click on the photo on the listing. Don't stop there -- see where it leads and play it through. I don't know how "courteous, respectful, constructive" Ray let this one through and canned another guy's listing because he was selling a book that had the word "Jerk" as part of the title, but I'll let you think about it.
Do it quick, the auction ends in a couple hours! Â
FYI: You don't have to register at WP to view auctions, only to bid, buy or view and post on the forums.
So, for those of you who missed this auction: The title was something like "Wipe your ass with Sadam", and it listed a roll of toilet paper with Sadam's face printed on it. There was an looped animation of a Bush beating Sadam over the head with a big mallet repeatedly and lots of God Bless America propaganda with flags, etc. If you click on the toilet paper, a humongous fart sound appears along with a gigantic "plop" and you get linked to a completed auction for the same item on eBay. The next thing you hear is the full-length version of "I Bought it on eBay" song -- you know, the spoof of the Back Street Boys song.
It is interesting what Ray does and does not allow on WP. This listing passed the censors, when a listing of a children's book and a cook book were pulled because the Rooster says Cockadoodledoo, and the cook book gave a receipe for beek jerky. Also, I recall a seller having to pull all her listings for political bumper stickers.

FYI: I was terminated and NEVER, EVER, NOT ONCE did I use a swear word or say anything I would consider "inappropriate" to CC or any member. My last post was as sanitized as it could be, but it was pulled anyway, along with all posts that made reference to it. It's as if it never existed. All I ever did was question what I was getting for my $10/mo fee. So listings like the one above are OK, but my questioning what I was getting for my $10/mo is not. Go figure!
