“Greed is Good” on eBay: Selling the Thames Whale’s Soul
Capitalizing on the public outpouring over the death of the Thames whale, one entrepreneurial individual has offered the whale’s soul for sale on eBay (via Reuters):
"I was accompanying the poor whale in his last journey, and he handed his soul to me. He asked me to sell it, so I could invest the money raised in other bottlenosed whales," said the seller from Minneapolis, giving the whale the wrong gender…
The soul seller describes the proud possession as "100 percent soul" and promises to ship it anywhere in the world.
"This soul will only increase in value in the future," wrote the vendor."
Obviously this person and others embraced Gordon Gekko’s "greed is good" mantra.
