from the silicon alley reporter:
EBay and its ilk have practically spawned a journalistic subgenre of stories about scary auctions, from the notorious kidney sale to the death row inmate's auction of his execution tickets. Now comes a site filled with the strangest flotsam and jetsam of the auction mania: DisturbingAuctions.com, dedicated to "truly tacky stuff that people really, honestly, believed that someone would (and in some cases did) buy." Choice knickknacks currently featured on the site include a coin purse made from a dead frog (sold for $5.50), a lizard-festooned coconut lamp (sold for $10.50), and a velvet painting of Jesus blessing an 18-wheeler (no bids).i think what the web needs is a fan site for elsa klensch. i'm checking now to see if there's one up yet...
