Funniest thing I read today:

A man believed he was getting a bargain on Ebay by buying a flat-screen TV for $2,000. Yet what he got in the mail was simply a picture of a flat-screen TV. When he emailed to complain, the auctioner said he should've known better.

Well, the authorities got involved, but I don't know what's worse: the fact that a guy is auctioning off pictures of televisions or that at least 3 people fell for it.

Luckily the kid was caught, bringing shame to Asians and Brians alike. Brian Kim of New Jersey was arrested at his high school and charged with theft by deception. He defends himself by saying the word picture was clearly marked in the ad. But come on, does he really think people are dumb enough to bid thousands of dollars on a picture??? Okay, three people are.
