For that price, you'd want a car, boat, or A3000UX.

Tell me more about the item.

I can't see a picture from here, so I'm just wondering if you can describe a pic for me, or whether there is some description.

It's a wad of used Britney Spears' chewing gum. The picture shows her spitting it onto a car windscreen (from the inside), and someone had got it and is now selling it.

I wouldn't pay that price for the whole of Britney!

Put tape over her mouth (or, put something else in there).

She's an overrated singer with atrociously fake breasts and an only above average singing voice. She puts on so much make up to cover her bad skin that she looks like she's made of plastic. I think there is more sexual appeal in a wad of anti-static packaging.

That's the bad part.

You can have the anti-static packaging.


--edit: --

Might I add that there are better women, however.

@ Kenny

Just a small note, 'cos I love ballistics, she is photographed gobbing the gum sideways out of the left rear window, which is half rolled down.

If the seller was really smart he would have put the gum in an air-tight jar and claimed to have Britney's saliva still on it. The bid would now stand at $50,000 then.
Then again, maybe the buyer intends to make a mold of the tooth imprints on the gum, so he can manufacture 'Britney Spears Crowns'

Personally she does as much for me as being hit with a wet lettuce (not a lot in case anyone has their doubts), but I guess we can't all like the same thing?

However a chilling thought entered my mind...  A far Eastern lab buys the gum at $10K, takes a sample of Britney's DNA from it an before we know what hit us there's thousands of bootleg Britneys all warbling away.  

I'd be tempted to buy the gum in order to stop that vision from becoming reality...

Here's a thought, what if the DNA they get from the gum isn't hers?

I believe that will be the most likely outcome in this case.

"Ooh, its a boy!!!"

What I meant was, what if there's DNA in her saliva that didn't originate, oh, nevermind.  :-o  :-P

This is probably Bull $**t.
