Apparently not everyone got the "Note: Food bought off the internet is not recommended for eating"

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=1619126&page=1

I understand that wherever there is a loophole people are going to exploit it. I understand the countless books about getting rich quick, and easy ways to earn a buck, are selling, somewhere. People are crafty, but sad. This just proves how sad they really are.

The government issued 'TV dinner style' food for Katrina victims has been found for auction on my friend, eBay's website. Who in their right mind thinks that selling food on eBay is a good idea, let alone rations for victims of a hurricane?

Dear Americans, you endlessly disappoint and surprise me with your pathetic ways of trying to stick it to the man and put some cash in your pockets.
Love, apathy.

We must not forget the ambitious souls bidding on said auctions, have their membranes been degraded to mush as well? Can you not walk on down to your local stop & shop to get yourself a considerably cheaper, less mold infested, Tv dinner, or is it the government's stamp of approval or select choice of corn, potatoes, chicken, and cranberry sauce so reminiscent of Thanksgiving that you are salivating all over your computer screen at the shrink wrapped photo?

But the sand is the hourglass has not depleted yet....the plot thickens. Military personnel are selling the rations as well. Holy crap, the man who works for the man is exploiting the man- can this be qualified as a pseudo tribute to Marx's bourgeoisie? No. Nice try, but the communist manifesto does not include the likes of eBay in it's ploy to overthrow the oppressive government. Lenin, you can return to your grave, dissapointed.

Moral: Do not buy food off eBay, no matter how lip-smackin delicious it seems to be, you better Bo-lieve it.

Subsection moral: Oh and don't sell food meant for Katrina victims- tisk, tisk.
