Over the years, we’ve been amazed at the items people have been able to sell on eBay. We thought the Dorito chip that looked like the Pope was the most impressive, until we came across this item. It appears that the fame-whoring father of “Balloon Boy,” the creator of that scheme to let the world think his son was launched in a balloon, is now selling the balloon.  That’s right for the cool sum of $1 million, you could own this piece of latex history. Anyone interested?

BTW — if this ploy works, look for the Shut Up Sisters to launch their kids in a balloon.

    Personally, I wouldn’t buy that thing for one dollar, let alone one million. Even if I COULD launch my kid! (There are days when it might be worth it!)

    Is that Shannon Doherty walking with her head hung low? MAN, has she hit rock bottom……
