Celebrity Merch Hits A New Low

Filed under: Auctions

Add the name of a celebrity - any celebrity - to something and all of a sudden it's a hot item. Actually, in this case, I would say that it's more of a tepid item. An extra from the film Employee of the Month has put a piece of gum that was chewed by Jessica Simpson on eBay. Instead of promoting the gum itself, the seller seems to be promoting the fact that it has Jessica's DNA on it and that from that DNA, it could conceivably be possible to clone her. Strange as it seems, this appears to be a good strategy because bidding is already over $167 at the time of this posting.
