The power of television, part deux
Just in case you visited the eBay link in the previous entry and wondered why on Earth I was drawing attention to it: I visited the auction just after it was mentioned on HIGNFY and noticed the hit counter was then at over a thousand and the bidding had passed five pounds.
A few minutes later, there had been more than ten thousand hits and the bidding had reached several hundred pounds. That’s when I posted my blog entry. Shortly afterwards, a couple of idiots started bidding in the millions. There have now been over seventy thousand hits, but the seller has cancelled the sale. Perhaps they’ve decided the photo is too famous to sell. And who wouldn’t be tempted.
