Colbert's Cast: The Ebay Bidding war is on!
By John Amato Thursday Aug 23, 2007 11:01am
Get your bid in to Ebay...
You go Colbert! This is too much...Virgin Mary Toast be damned.
A casino paid 28,000 bucks for it.

that toast...looks delicious.
For being the most intelligent species on the planet, it's amazing what gets you
all off!
I think the image looks more like Marlena Dietrich... you don't think.... nahhhhh... never mind.
Hell, a couple years back some baseball fan "rescued" a wad of gum a player had discarded and sold it on eBay - for $10,000!
Humans are crazy.

Hi Everyone,
This is off topic:
This guy: bwellman@nacecare.com; from this company: www.nacecare.com / info@nacecare.com; has been forwarding right-wing propaganda emails since I’ve been working for the company I work for.
The final straw for me came when he forwarded this racist, xenophobic and lie-full email.
I wrote to him and his company about this filth and have received no reply.
Anybody got some time to tell them what you think?
Thanks,
Lynn
The virgin toast seller pocketed the money for himself. Stephen is donating the winning bid to charity. I don't really catch the similarities but owell.
oops I guess the toast went to charity too. My bad
I know it's for a good cause and all, but seriously.....If you won the bidding, what would you do with it? Would you want that over your fireplace in the hutch with your Waterford Crystals?
I think the restaurant owner in Charleston who bought Colbert's portrait should buy it.
What happened to him that he had to wear the cast in the first place? It looks a bit yucky to me. No money will leave my purse for it. Now if it was an evening of just shooting the shit with him, I might be real interested.
If one where given to making donations anyway... why no bid on the cast??? And I am not so sure that we are the most intelligent species on Earth... Those dolphins seem to know something that they are keeping to themselves.
$28,000 for toast....what kind of fool....well...nevermind.
it was prolly the seller who bought it since there was no bid, just someone wishing to publisize some insane bullsh*t and get the "believers" all worked up.
pretty funny stuff.

Mark @ News Corpse @ 9:
Some people will buy anything. It's sure to appreciate in devalue if O'Reilly's and Kristol's sigs are on it.
The cast is anti-gay marriage legislation. Now signed by Nancy Pelosi!
hello @ 15:
Wow! The two Bills, Oreally and Kristol, that would make it worth....like...erm... nothing?
If I pooped in a bowl, could I sell it on Ebay?
As the bumper sticker goes: Beam me up Scotty. There's no intelligent life down here.
Jerry @ 18:
Maybe if you were Jerry Lewis or Jerry McGuire.
The chick on the toast looks more like Michelle Pfeiffer in "Married to the Mob" to me.... :-)
pissed off patricia @ 11:
He wound up getting a small fracture in his wrist while on set just before he took his vacation. In fact, he didn't even notice something was wrong until halfway through his vacation.
Jerry @ 18:
Dada artists did just that. They sold "limited editions" (500) of their "art" in small tins.
Blue Buddha @ 23:
...well, except they didn't have eBay back then...
toast looks like marlene dietrich, who was no virgin.
I think it's Gretta Garbo on the toast.
RickW @ 3:
Hey! that's MY line! you must be old.
WAsn't it Dietrich who fled Nazi Germany early on, because she saw the handwriting on the wall?
hadenuf @ 28:
the Dietrich files:
yes, i believe this is true for marlene...
not as much for sepp
Wonder if the Egyptians saw Amun-Ra in a piece of toast thousands of years ago..
How about Shiva on the bark of a tree in Tibet?..
Or Buddha on the side of a barn in China?...
The Colbert Cast - does it smell like freedom?
The Jesus Toast - would you go with crunchy or smooth peanut butter?
These internets are quite the kick...
The above mention of the toast jogged my memory of a story I'd like to share.
My son's old basketball backboard is propped up against the side wall in my garage. It's been there for about 8 years - ever since it was torn down by the neighborhood hooligans. I never put it back up because at the time he was on his way off to college and our days of driveway b-ball were, sadly, coming to a close.
Anyway, at some point, either my wife or I must have brushed up against it while squeezing around the front bumper of the car leaving a slightly smeared ass print in the grime that has accumulated on its surface. A couple of weeks ago I was sweeping out the garage and my eyes happened to land on said ass print (the car is usually in the way so I hadn't noticed it until that moment). I immediately started laughing. You see, in the evening light and at that particular angle it looked stunningly like a portrait of Jimi Hendrix! The contrast of the gray dirt against the white plastic backboard gave it an almost Shroud of Turin quality. I'm not ashamed to say it was almost a religious experience, not unlike the first time I heard Jimi play back in '68.
Maybe I should put it on Ebay.....
I planning on bidding 4 it until I found out bill o'reilly signed it.
ticktock @ 30:
The Arabic writing of "Allah" often makes appearances.
Blue Buddha @ 34:
Inquiring minds ask....
Would he do a guest appearance on Colbert?
Blue Buddha @ 34:
Is it time to to worry when a Jew sees Allah in his challah?
Does it come with Colbert Skin Shavings....
The Virgin Mary really has to replace her PR people, cause they just get her the worst product placement – toast, bagels, tacos, Cinnabuns, viaduct walls, chorizo, pizza slices, mattress stains, rock formations, chewed sticks if gum, egg rolls, discarded corrugated boxes, etc…
I mean, why not the granite walls of the Sistine Chapel, caviar, dry-aged prime beef, sheet metal of a Bentley, the Pope’s goiter, Donald Trumps comb-over…
I have a zit on my ass that looks just like Dick Chaney. Any bidders?
Yellow Elephant Safari @ 36:
Well a Jew did see the Star of David in his boiling oatmeal.
H.Truman @ 39:
Double dare you to put that up on auction on Ebay....
(But you have to have a pic to back up your claim)...
That virgin mary toast is sold in stores, I eat it all the time. Kellogg's "Virgin Mary Toast"...every slice looks like that!
They go good with "Cheesey Christs"...the snack treat shaped like the eucharist!
Blue Buddha @ 34:
the whole "i see jesus in this here rust stain", to me, seems like a perverse/bastardized form of animism. or, more in like monotheistic inanimism [coin]. instead of seeing 'spirits' in all creatures, these people have the ability (condition) to see jesus/god/mary in all inanimate objects. and, like a virus, once one person "sees" the divine in a grilled cheese sandwich or tar blob, others are quickly infected. then, straight to ebay...
(if only ebay was around 2000 years ago, i can imagine being able to pick up some cheap jesus parapernalia)
the NEED to believe, the need to be assured, the need to say that there is someone/some being out there really does warp people's sense of reality.
it is excellent KO material though
:-)
For breakfast? A nice big bowl of "CAP'N CHRIST" cereal! Mmmmmmmmmmm...........
Dude, the toast winner got to eat a virgin named Mary.
That Virgin Mary toast? It looks like she's throwing the FINGER at us! Did anyone notice that?
I'll be here all ze veek..................
btw? Since when is toast shaped like a triangle???
I'm off to carve a face in something and sell it on eBay...c'ya!
Has anyone ever had a vision of Mary Magdeline in their condom?
Virgin Mary? Looks more like Marlene Dietrich to me.
In India they had a big deal about a statue of Ganesh that drank him milk sacrifices. They did a takeoff with Apu Nahasapemapetillon on the Simpsons.
i don't see the virgin--i see a fancy lady with big hair and a low decolletage--maybe marie antonette? she has red or brown hair tho.
gosh for all i know mary liked to get all dolled up sometimes.
his.
Powkat @ 50:
That's who I think it is...she just wanted to go back to Vegas.
ysbaddaden @ 49:
Uh-ewww. does anyone look that closely at them?
Looks like Bernadette Peters to me.
miss_kitty @ 54:
I wouldn't know, I only buy them for water balloon fights.
this is a little off the topic but heck the topic is toast and casts so run over to the onion for a minute and check out this article about a major rally in d.c.
finally the citizens take to the streets!

Yuck! Have you ever smelled the inside of a cut off cast? I like Stephen Colbert..but come on... uck! blech! pe-yew!
Who on Earth would want this? Doesn't it also violate some kind of no bodily fluids regulation on E-bay. Gross. I'm totally skeeved out now.
I've seen diapers like that.
The bid is up to $3,050. I love Stephen Colbert but I'd almost pay that much not to have something with the signatures of Tony Snow, Bill O'Reilly, et al in my home. I wouldn't even want Pelosi's signature at this point considering what they did to the country before they left on their very important vacations.
Is it me or is the Virgin Mary giving a thumbs up ala "Buddy Christ?"
Matt in Texas @ 4:
Just wait until the cloned basketball player shows up and then tell us who is crazy!
pissed off patricia @ 11:
Gee. I donno. I watch his show regularly and he hasn't uttered a word about a wrist injury.
Whaaa? You mean you didn't see the tragic FALL? Oddly enough.. it was his LEFT arm. Coincidence or Conspiracy? You be the judge:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVcqNAXaugQ
wow the bidding is up to $4350!
I imagine that whomever is the highest bidder will get to be on the Colbert Report and receive a lot of publicity similar to the restaurant owner who was the winning bidder of Stephen's portrait that was auctioned off a little while back.
That alone is worth the price!
I wonder if they guy who won the toast was hungry, and ate it?
No. I believe he successfully bred the sandwich and birthed the baby cheezhus.
