Local Bicycle Hobo Tricks News Media with Britney Spears eBay Hoax
You know those journalists? That report real news? They're idiots.
LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - "Britney Spears' half-eaten sandwich is for sale on eBay."
The Post Chronicle: "Britney Spears' half-eaten sandwich is for sale on eBay. The snack was snatched from a table at a music awards ceremony Britney attended with her husband Kevin Federline at a New York hotel earlier this year."
Etc, etc... Apparently none of these investigative journalists have Seattlest in their RSS feed, as we reported last week this auction is complete horse shit:
Sherlock Seattlest calls bullshit on this auction, friends. Luckily, eBay buyers from all over the world know they can turn to Seattlest for our sleuthing skills and steadfast internet truth enforcement.
Our post prompted one "Chris Comte" to scoff:
"Well, obviously it's a fake. I mean, what sort of celebrity event would serve egg salad sams & corndogs as entrees?"
Not so obviously then, "Chris Comte."

Hey, thanks for the add! -- Uh, sorry, wrong website.
Anyway, you neglected to mention I did sort of "qualify" my skeptical rejoinder.
And I'm not sure I'd get too smug about putting one over on what appears to be an online news aggregator - The Post Chronicle? Who the heck are they?
Oh, and no need to put my name in quotation marks - it's not a "handle".
