Why didn't I think of this? This is genius! (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5534052474&category=19270#ebayphotohosting/)

I am flabbergasted.

Doubly so since this is real.

Excuse me while I look around for a virgin-mary shaped iron :p

Shit. And that's an absolute piece of piss to fake as well, you just get a paintbrush and some water and paint it on the bread before you put it in the machine.

OMFG! I should make a Virgin Mary pizza and sell it.

no no a block of (carved) chease

I don't see it (looks more like Jesus to me), am I going to hell? :p

Easy money! :D

I don't see it (looks more like Jesus to me), am I going to hell? :p

if you are then that makes two of us

well someone did bid from 55 dollars to 8 grand so... ;)

PT Barnum was right.

There IS one born every minute.

Isn't it a sin to sell the Lord's mother on EBay?

that is so CrAzY! Why do stupid people believe other stupid people? Why don't they believe the educated people, like when we say don't buy that it is so fake! The stupid person is like wait what? no its not its GOD! I have news for them GOD IS IN HEAVEN LOOKING DOWN ON US AND IS JUST LAUGHING! :D

Hmm... you, too, can con eBayers...

HOLY FUCK!!!!!! that much (Current bid: US $15,099.00 as of 10:48 EST) for a fucking sandwich
It'll probably be nowhere near as much when they remove all the gag bidders, and other such who have no plan for paying up.

ANd yet I"M the crazy one! :rolleyes:

Ebay should just toast this seller, because this whole thing seems a little cheesy to me. Clearly the seller is not cooking with gas and lets face it, the Virgin Mary isn't all she is cooked up to be.

But if Ebay were to challenge this guy, couldn't they be going from the frying pan into the fire?

That's food for thought.

If you can't take the heat, don't sell stuff from the kitchen.

I wonder if this guy will get cheesed over this?

IT'S DR. RUTH!

US $15,099.00 for a grilled cheese sandwich? :eek:

Can you imagine the price if it had been a ham and cheese...

If it were fresh and edible, I'd buy it. And eat it. Just for all the dirty innuendoes I could make. http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/teufel/devil-smiley-024.gif

Damn, that grilled cheese sandwich costs more than I paid for my truck! (And I got my truck on Ebay too.)

Well, I guess we have to face it, if God is going to talk to us, it will be through the most holy medium of a sandwich.

Frankly, I half suspect that the two people with no comments who mysteriously jacked the price up from 50 to 8,000 dollars are incarnations of friends of whoever set the auction up in the first place. There is no reason to increase the bid by 16,000% unless some fraudulence is involved.

Maybe the Pope is hungry. :)

There may be something to all this

The Gospel according to Kraft

" And Jesus looked out upon the multitude of hungry worshippers, and knew it was time for lunch.
Jesus said unto Peter, what have we for a wee bite to tide us over to teatime.
And Peter sayeth unto Jesus, We have nought but this moldy lump of bread, half a cheese slice and a wet tea towel.
And Jesus smiled and told Peter to look again, and he did and it was a miracle.
And there were grilled cheese sandwiches and cans of ale for all.

IT'S DR. RUTH!

(a very obscure Sam Kinison reference. If you understand, you're probably laughing like crazy)I remember that now. That was a sick joke man. Still funny though.

Another possibility....
Given that there are a zillion pictures of the sandwich (all identical) on that page...




Maybe the poster never expected people to be this idiotic, posted it, then freaked when he saw people bidding, and has himself, under another name, raised the bid to the ridiculous so that he does not have to undergo the humiliation of being labeled a fraud.

The pain of the series of puns will burn my brain for years to come! ;)
Nice.

"THIS IS AN ORDINARY REAL GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH THAT I MADE ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO"

UGH!!!!! CALL THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT!!!

That HAS to be illegal to sell.

Hell, I don't care if it's "edible". I'll still eat the virgin Mary.

Yeah, but send it by mail and the mould could be classified as a biological weapon. :p

Ok, that is the last straw. I have officially lost ALL my faith in humanity. WTF?

Mikorlias of Imardeavia

I’d hate to break it to them, but that looks more like Marilyn Monroe than Mary.
