Pope John Paul and Mother Teresa Chicken Nugget Auction Removed by eBay

A recent auction for a Pope John Paul and Mother Teresa Chicken Nugget (yes, you read that right!) was removed by eBay. This action leaves us asking that eternal question: Why?

Here's a picture of the "Mother Teresa Side" (by the way, I personally think it looks more like Osama bin Laden):

Description text from the removed auction:

"This is really cool. I came home for dinner awhile ago and My wife had made me a good meal. We had some Chicken Nuggets in it and I noticed right away that one was staring back at me! It was Mother Teresa. I paused for a moment and relized It really is Mother Teresa. I turned the nugget over and it no longer looked like Mother Teresa it was Pope John Paul II wearing his Pontiff hat. I'm sorry I don't know the actual term for the hat. Well with my family I know it would be destroyed or eaten so I decided to place it up for bid. This has a great spiritual meaning for most faiths. I truly want it to go somewhere that it can be cherished for a long time to come."

Funny eBay Feedback Posts

Here are some really funny eBay feedback posts. In these days of ever-increasing tension and discontent on eBay, it's good to see the humor in it all. Enjoy!

NEUTRAL: Excellent communication, but should've poked holes in box before shipping the kitten. Refunded.

NEGATIVE: Honda R-Type sticker did not add horsepower as advertised.

NEGATIVE: Despite indication in listing, I could not fit item into any of my body cavities.

NEUTRAL: Item shipped promptly and in good condition, but I should not have to bid on birthday presents from my parents.

POSITIVE: I don't really remember what I ordered. But I've been sitting in the box it came in all day, and it's great!

NEGATIVE: Product didn't work, possibly broken. I woke up this morning and was disappointed to find I still believe in Jesus Christ our Savior. :(

POSITIVE: Excellent Buyer. A++++++. Thrilled by the quartz movement of the "Rolex". HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

NEGATIVE: Should have been clearer that seller only accepts payment in Bhats via Eastern Union Moneygram.

POSITIVE: Plain brown packaging seemed to fool my wife. Thanks!

NEGATIVE: The dog won't hunt.

NEGATIVE: Very nice monkey mascot costume, but it's a size 34, not a 63 as advertised.

NEGATIVE: Lederhosen not as pink as the picture led me to believe.

POSITIVE: A+++++. Items are exactly as described. Best case of kalashnikovs I've ever bought. Allah Akbar!

NEGATIVE: This is clearly the ninth, NOT THE SIXTH, repackaging of Mad Super Special #24.

POSITIVE: One of the scents mixed in with the packing peanuts remind me of a passionate weekend in Rio... was that you?

POSITIVE: The way you wrote my zip-code makes me weak in the knees. Such smooth strokes. A+!

NEGATIVE: Buying this Space 1999 Lunchbox did not fill the void in my empty life for as long as I'd hoped.

POSITIVE: Thanks for great Rainbow Brite lunchbox. Should shrunken head be inside?

NEGATIVE: Though you did nothing wrong, I am giving you this negative feedback to teach you that the universe is arbitrary and unfair.
