James Blunt likes to sell people on ebay

July 13, 2007

Singer James Blunt told GQ magazine that three years ago his sister was unable to go to Ireland, so his solution was to sell her on Ebay.

“I came back to the flat where my sister was staying and she was crying because she couldn’t get to a funeral in Ireland. The planes were on strike, the ferry was out of season, and there were no trains. I ended up whacking it on eBay: ‘Damsel in distress seeks knight in shining armor! Desperate to get to a funeral in southern Ireland, please help!’ The bids flooded in and the guy who won had a helicopter. He flew her to the funeral. That was three years ago. This summer they’re getting married. That was the stupidest thing I’ve ever sold on eBay – my sister.”

I didn’t know you could sell people on ebay. I thought there was some rule where you couldn’t sell live things on the site. But apparently they bend the rules for celebrities. Next, you’ll see Angelia Jolie adopting her next kid on ebay.

And why would you go on ebay trying to buy people? Like I’d trust some random stranger who searches for people on ebay to fly my sister alone across seas. I don’t think so!
