mdrejhon 8 #17 September 2, 2005 Funny. I posted this eBay URL, but one of the greenies deleted my thread to the Recycle Bin. I don't think the greenies like these eBay URL's. Personally, I think this one is more funny: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7179285903 "1st SWOOP TRAINING LANE MAKES HOOK TURNS EVEN EASIER" (joke auction) I would bet that all of these eBay items are indeed spoofs. (After trying to figure out why these threads were being deleted, I just did some research on this matter to figure out why. Possible theory that I have noticed that threads like these are often eventually deleted by a greenie - One of the ads were published in Skydiving. Then the next month, Skydiving magazine apologized for the spoof. Apparently there were a lot of people upset by this ad. I think, that there are some people still upset about the spoof. On top of this all, some don't like jokes about bouncing, for other spoofs like the swoop lane.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I posted about that, but for some reason, a greenie deleted my post a few days ago -- Wonder why this thread still exists and I received no explanation why my thread was removed (did I break a posting rule?) -- I think he saw an eBay URL and did not bother to verify that my post referred to a legitimate joke worthy of Bonfire, rather than eBay spam; Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
