Other Crap

As Tom Lehrer pointed out when he retired, we now live in a post-ironic world in which it is not possible to distinguish the satire from the real news. This one is "real," from the N.Y. Daily News. Vincent Gallo's sperm is for sale on eBay.com for a starting bid of $1 million

• What proof do you have that it's really his sperm? Well, you know his slogan, "Gallo will serve no jizz, unless it's his"
• "The seller, who claims to speak for Gallo, is looking for a blond, Jewish woman to bear his child, because 'this connection to the Jewish faith would guarantee his offspring a better chance at good reviews and maybe even a prize at the Sundance Film Festival or an Oscar.'"
• Here is the e-Bay listing.
• I still think it's bullshit, but Gallo is a weird dude, so ... maybe ...

NOTE AFTER THE FACT: eBay pulled the auction, so either it was bullshit or they find it inappropriate content. (They do not specify.)

NOTE EVER FURTHER AFTER THE FACT: The commenter below noted that the auction was pulled because bodily fluids may not be trafficked. I guess that means it may really have been Gallo. Or not.
