The popular online auction site eBay has yanked a piece of artwork done by Glenn Beck citing its belief that the project featured an Obama figurine floating in actual urine (it was not, however).
On Tuesday evening, Glenn Beck featured an
Obama bobble head doll in a jar of yellow liquid, catalyzed by Michael D’Anouto’s painting titled, "Truth," which features a crucified Obama and also parodies the controversial "artwork" dubbed "Piss Christ" that defaced a crucifix in a glass of urine.
Beck’s piece was meant to underscore the importance of adhering to the First Amendment and highlight the hypocrisy of those who adhere to it only when it suits them. Often, members of the Left will rail against the disparaging of figures they hold dear, but do not hold themselves to the same standard when disparaging figures others hold dear.
Beck
was auctioning the jar, complete with the Obama doll, on the auction site, with all the proceeds set to go to Beck’s Mercury One charity. At the last entry its bid was up to $11,300. On Wednesday morning, however, eBay removed the auction page.

In all fairness, Viagra is a performance-enhancing drug.
But will it help players gain an edge on the football field?
Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall seems to think so.
When asked about Adderall, which is being blamed for a rising number of PED suspensions in the NFL, Marshall had an interesting response.
"I don’t know too much about Adderall," Marshall said during his weekly press conference. "I know guys, it is such a competitive league, guys try anything just to get that edge. I’m fortunate enough to be blessed with size and some smarts to give me my edge. But some guys, they’ll do whatever they can to get an edge. I’ve heard of some crazy stories. I’ve heard (of) guys using like Viagra, seriously.

Zurich council has approved a plan to build the boxes, which will, it hopes, provide a discreet location for prostitutes and their clients to conduct business when they open in August next year.
Located in an industrial area of the city, the row of garage-like boxes will have roofs and walls for privacy, and easy access for cars. The council estimates that around 30 prostitutes will meet clients at the site of the boxes, and use the drive-in slots on a first-come-first-served basis.
The opening of the sex boxes will coincide with a major reform of prostitution laws in the
Swiss city. Prostitution will be outlawed in certain areas of Zurich where it has taken grip, and led to local complaints about women being harassed on the streets and the activities of pimps.
The prostitutes who use the sex boxes will also have to take out medical insurance and buy a £26 licence in order to ply their trade. On top of that they will also have to feed five Swiss francs, about £3.30, into a roadside ticket machine each night when they clock on.
