Bidding on Paterno.

 Infamous football coach Joe Paterno of Penn State University recently passed away at the age of 85, after being tagged in the media commotion, when his assistant coach was accused of molesting a former student. Regardless, he was loved by many, but obviously not respected enough. The institution were congenial to hand out free complimentary vouchers to Paterno’s memorial service. This world is beyond foolish, it would not be in their nature, had this opportunity not form into something more intriguing. Several were ecstatic like a bat out of a cave, racing to eBay to sell their tickets, engaging to immediately make a quick profit. Surprisingly, someone absorbed the offer and felt it necessary to bid up to $99,000. Whoever this person was, accompanied 77 other bizarre people. On behalf of the bidder and seller, seeking some help could be beneficial. Nothing is ever that deep. Once the news broke out, Penn State’s faculty, students, and alumni’s were furious. In the end, eBay defaulted in selling the ticket.

The love of money is contagious.

RIP
