Moron-of-the-Moment

This moron didn't read eBay's terms of service and is being sued.

Pregnant woman sued over eBay auction [from Ananova]

Lady, it's an auction! The highest bidder wins. Unfortunately the person you want to win may not be the higest bidder. Live with it.

Sadly, this will likely get tied up in court until after the baby is born and there is no more "bump" on which to advertize, unless the casino wants to ink-up some stretch-marked postpartum flab.

That is idiotic. Why even bother going through ebay if you're going to disregard the result of your auction?

Well, if she had problems with it, she could have used the unwelcome bids provision and cancelled sunpoker.com before the end of the auction. I suspect that Golden Palace sweetened the deal after it ended.

If I were the judge, as consolation I'd rule that the kid had to have the sunpoker.com logo tattooed across its forehead until age 2.
