Existential Excrement

You';ve got to admit, people love a good gimmick. Remember that guy who invented Pet Rocks? Isn';t he a multi-millionaire because of them? Well, eBay attracts a whole lot of wannabes, who are certain they';ve invented a new hit novelty product that will turn a big profit with little or no materials cost-like the Pet Rock guy, who just took a trip to his backyard.

Some ideas, however, are better than others. And some are much, much worse. Like the guy who tried to sell a bag of Genuine Ghost Poop. Genuine, huh? Who knew that Styrofoam packing peanuts were really excrement from The Other Side? The starting bid was actually five dollars. Five dollars for every twelve packing peanuts from that box of fruitcake your granny sent you. Not a bad idea-If anyone was stupid enough to fall for it!
