An Eye for a Bargain

The story above mentions bargain price stationery. I came across a rather more enticing offer today, while reading the always-interesting Religion News Blog.

In my more puritanical moments, I have been known to declare that all advertising is hateful, and that this would be a far, far better world without it. Such pronouncements reckon without eBay, which appears to have infiltrated every cranny of the internet.

There I was, browsing the Religion News Blog for further detail on the magnificent headline Little Pebble Planned To Start ‘A New Race’, when I noticed this, at the bottom of the page, tucked among the adverts:

Priests : Quality new and used items. Search for priests now! : www.ebay.com

That exclamation mark is priceless.
