Ebay new direction: Take Ron Popeils studio set
OK, so I was over at AuctionBytes.com where Ina wrote about Pierre Omidyar definiing the Level Playing Ground. Linked to it was video at Propaganda Town, by eBays latest ASSet to rewrite their own history: Richard Brewtang! You remember him right? He’s Mister I’m Gonna be unfiltered and uncensored about the people who pay for me to do nothing but blog all day.
Anyways, I couldn’t get based the staged interview. I think my Wishy Washy commercial I made in 7th grade was a bit more sincere than these videos. Gee, I dunno. Are we supposed to like be at peace now that we hear from the Founder? And umm what does that say about Obays management that the first time in years he actually speaks to the community? Does anyone really care about a founder who abandoned them?
Here is my post I made on auction bytes.
Let me get this right, Don Ho is interviewing Pierre on a subject he already knows about, in a place where they have people they know sitting in the front row. WOWEEE looks like Ebay is going down the pooper big time, had to rent out Ron Popeils rotisserie set to film this late night infomercial. All those clapping seals. Please for the love of God, bring back the WINDORPHINS if you’re gonna stick us with this propaganda. OMG Ina, I think I just dislocated my jaw. I’m gonna go blog!
Here’s the full article http://ebayinkblog.com/2008/04/29/john-donahoe-interviews-pierre-omidyar/ read at your own risk and the multiple videos. Here’s one of them. By the way, don’t you find it odd the professional blogger doesn’t know how to embed video? Anyways he just signed up on Youtube, so you can send him infomercial video responses so he can figure out what to post next week. lol
Ron Popeil, lol. RONCO watch out!
ps. watch the part in the middle just before they continue the Sacred Cows comment where Pierre says “It’s been difficult for this organization to…” You see John Donahoes’ seal expression. LMAO PRICELESS. ORK! ORK! ORK!
We’ll see if he doesn’t bring out the swiffer and censor comments on their Youtube channel!

Lovin’ would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
I was over on Youtube again and found one of the best songs EVER! And one of the best KAROKE songs ever too! My favorite pretty boy from the 80s, Boy George, and CULTURE CLUB!!! I’ve been singing it outloud all day because everyone got sick of me singing Sanford & Sons. This one is dedicated, with a smile, to all the schmuck in the worlds stringin’ us along! Complete with Karma Chameleon and video so you can sing along. Happy Weekend Everybody!
Desert loving in your eyes all the way.
If I listened to your lies would you say
I’m a man (a man) without conviction,
I’m a man (a man) who doesn’t know
how to sell (to sell) a contradiction.
You come and go, you come and go.Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,

Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams,
red gold and green, red gold and green.Didn’t hear your wicked words every day
and you used to be so sweet, I heard you say
that my love (my love) was an addiction.
When we cling (we cling) our love is strong.
When you go (you go) you’re gone forever.
You string along, you string along.Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,

Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams,
red gold and green, red gold and green.Every day is like survival (sur-vi-val),

Safety first. Bullets and hand grenades
It must be because Michael Moore dragged in a camera crew. lol. Wow now this place come sometime in May is gonna be all safe and secure and homeland & security doesn’t have to worry bout eBay. lol
In accordance with new company policy, we’re removing the Bullets & Grenades category from US WWII Militaria.

Until then, you can just go buy a 220g splendid red Realgar & Calcite or Arsenic specimen and lick it. $9.99 and they only accept PAYPAL. The preferred way of shopping safely online!

I want to make my own rools too
My new rule is I don’t believe it’s practical to pay taxes. I prohibit taxes effectively immediately!
The UK Government recently decided to ban the sale, manufacture, hire and import of samurai swords. While there are some exceptions to this general ban, we don’t think it’s practical to enforce a policy based on these.
The sale of samurai swords on eBay.co.uk will therefore be completely prohibited when the new law comes into effect on 6th April.
Regards,
The eBay Team

I have an idea, hurry hurry
Do you remember when the fans rose up about Jericho being cancelled? And Nutsonline rolled out the Peanut Gallery where they were going to delivery peanuts to the CBS offices to fight for Jericho to be renewed? I posted this on the Craigslist blog this morning.
does anyone notice ebays reaction is also similar to what they did to Google checkout almost a year ago? Google check out invited everyone to join them for the Boston Tea Party at Ebay Live and then ebay pulled the Google adwords like a day later. Tantrum management huh? What do you all think about that? Maybe we can all send them some of those big baby pacifiers or personalized baby bibs just like what they did for the Jericho TV show with the peanuts! We could go viral everybody. Lets show them the power of all of US in the magical community of Craigslist! Just because we can!
OK well that is my idea. I just thought I would say it get it off my mind. It must suck walking into a room and seeing someone drop a bar of soap. lol
ps. I probably dont even have my comments thingy working. So think about this let me know!

Woweee, the little guy he’s fighting back at obay
Ahhh I just heard from a friend that O-bay is suing our friends at Craiglist. Seems like o-Bay is miffed saying their stake in CL has been “unfairly diluted their economic interest”. After I spit all over myself I did some googling and it’s now evening here and I am STILL laughing my rump off. If this keeps up I may have to go into the hospital for a strained hernia! I just saw CL made a post on their blog. They’re saying it the way it is, alright! If you get a chance then go stop by. I’m going to go read the post and do some blogging tonight. This is so much better than talking about o-Bays economic dilution of Small Business Sellers.
