Michael Jackson's Tighty-Whites Up for Auction

[Gerk]

Do you think the creators of eBay thought their auction site would eventually turn into a dumping grounds for Jesus toast and classless pop star paraphernalia?
Michael Jackson's unwashed size 28 briefs (Calvin Klein, natch) that were confiscated as evidence during a failed 2003 child-molestation case against the King of Pop will be auctioned off tomorrow with a reserve price of $1 million, Page Six reports. The tighty-whities, seized in the hopes of obtaining DNA samples, are just one of a handful of less-than-tasteful Jackson items up for grabs. Other things that could be yours: A handwritten note where Jackson explains why he wants his marriage to Lisa Marie Presley annulled, as well as a (partially used) half-ounce tube of skin bleach. As for the underwear, they come still in their original evidence bag and wrapped in police tape ... you know, because we'd be so mad if we spent a million dollars on morally putrid items and then they turned out to be fake.

Who the f would buy that? A million bucks!...for possible future re-sale? If that is an investment then there truly is a sucker born every minute.

Maybe after all, if some people throw out caviar by the pound down a toilet every week some weirdo out there will spend $1 million for a sniff.
