Just when you think you've seen it all. Just when you think that you've seen the greediest, stupidest thing you can imagine, someone tops it on eBay.

Today's disgusting display is brought to you by Tommy Joyce of Nashville, TN, at the phone number of (615)9578839 as listed on the auction.

Mr. TJ seems to think that his box of Frosted Mini-Wheats with an expiration date of 9/11/01, with a picture of an American Airlines plane is so supernaturally coincedental that it's worth a minimum of $100,000 + $65 for shipping. And just to show you his heart is in the right place, he'll donate a whopping 10% of the final sale price to the 9/11 Children's Fund.

I would write more, but the compassion is making me tear up... everything is blurry...

Well, let's see, what's the difference: this guy is trying to make money (at least $90,000), while the Christmas display was free for all to enjoy. The Christmas display was created by an artist, while this is a cereal box that didn't get thrown out in a timely fashion. The Christmas display showed a sense of humor in the face of tragedy, while this tries to make money out of tragedy.

I do see a difference. And yet, I don't think you should go to hell because our views differ.
NOBODY BOUGHT IT
