Bids For Virgin Mary Cheese Sandwich Cancelled By EBay
<snip>

MIAMI -- The Internet auction house eBay Inc. canceled bids for a half of a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich that its owner said bore the image of the Virgin Mary.

Diana Duyser, of Hollywood, put the sandwich up for sale last week, drawing bids as high as $22,000 before eBay pulled the item Sunday night. The page was viewed almost 100,000 times before being taken down.

An e-mail Duyser received from eBay said the sandwich broke its policy, which "does not allow listings that are intended as jokes."

But Duyser, a work-from-home jewelry designer who has bought and sold items on eBay for two years, said the grilled cheese wasn't a joke.

"How could eBay do this to me?" Duyser said Monday, hours before the online auction was supposed to have ended.

14. Duyser said the grilled cheese wasn't a joke.
He's right, you know. Grilled cheese is deadly serious.
