I've read two separate stories about people selling their lives on Ebay. One was a man selling his worldly possessions and life in Australia (friends included) and the other is a woman looking for love and auctioning off her heart and house on the web.

Am I the only one that thinks this is stupid? Actually, stupid might not describe it. I just don't get it. Who would want to do that ON PURPOSE? I see what my life is like...I'm a comedian which I always think is a cool job (am I wrong?). I'm overall very happy with my life...but I wouldn't contemplate (<--big word) selling my life on Ebay. Can you imagine how crappy you would be if you put your life up for sale and it sold for very little? I don't need people telling me that my life is worth a hundred bucks.

And second of all, who the hell are these people that are placing bids. I go on Ebay and look for record players, Beatles memorabilia, old movie posters...I would never think of typing the word "life" on the search button. WHO DOES THAT? Who logs into the site and thinks: I wonder if anyone out there wants to sell their life? Been looking for one of those....

It's just crazy to me. I already have self-esteem issues (boo hoo, right? who doesn't?). I don't need Ebay telling me, "Woah, you think your life is worth nothing? Well, our bidders agree! Complete strangers have agreed that you're life is worth less than a signed Beatles poster for Hard Day's Night. Give up."
