My First Filthy Lie
Glenn Reynolds Sells His Conscience on EBay
Not only can you sell your soul to the devil but now you can sell your conscience on Ebay.
At least that's what Glenn Reynolds is trying to do.
Reynolds is selling his conscience on the auction website so he won't feel bad about the energy drink he has been consumming for years - a drink whose primary ingredient is "puppy."
Reynolds was first exposed on the internet by Blogger Frank J of IMAO as saying: "It's my special energy drink to keep me fit and my intellect sharp," and "the cuter the puppy, the better the energy drink."
"I was not motivated to do this by money," said Reynolds, when asked about the auction of his conscience, "and I don't really feel guilty either. I got the idea when my mommy asked where my conscience was. Its more of a symbolic thing, I'm doing it to please my mommy."
The bidding started at $0.01 and the auction, now in its second month, has not generated much interest. The highest bid is currently $0.02.
The current highest bidder, who has declined to give his name, has made demands that the auction be closed and the transaction be completed, threatening a lawsuit if it is not. Reynolds, however, has declined to do so, stating "I was hoping to get at least a nickel."
But the truth behind the open auction may be more complex. Although Reynolds has claimed, "I am determined to hold out for my price, no matter how long it takes," an unidentified Reynolds insider reports that Reynolds cannot find his conscience and in fact, hasn't seen his conscience for years. "He has been having a non-stop tizzy fit for weeks now, guzzling puppy juice and trying to remember where he lost it."
