FW: How much would you pay for a Barack Obama doodle?
May 28, 2007 1:47 PM
Right now 25 eBay bidders have driven up the price for a doodle by Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, to $557.
Six hours and 30 minutes remain.
The doodle (CLICK HERE) seems to be of his Senate colleagues Chuck Schumer, D-NY, Harry Reid, D-Nev., Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Ted Kennedy, D-Mass. Though that's just a guess.
The bids go to benefit Neurofibromatosis, Inc. (NF, Inc.) (LINK) a charitable organization that aims to create a community of support for those affected by the disease, one of the most common genetic disorders in the United States (affecting one in every 3,000 to 4,000 births), causing tumors to form on the nerves anywhere in the body at any time.
Other doodles being auctioned include those offered by actress and NF Inc spokeswoman Gillian Anderson (LINK), Cindy Crawford (LINK), Jay Leno (LINK), and the high bid as of Monday afternoon at $610, Donald Trump (LINK).

The bidding on all of the doodles is now over as I write this, and it seems Jay Leno's went for the least amount of money. This scramble for celebrity detritus certainly says something about our society, though I'm uncertain as to what.
