Alright - when do you say enouh is enough? An item was placed on ebay to sell, then was promptly removed. Kevorkian's Death Bus was put up for bid. This VW van has been removed from ebays site as they sited murderabilia is not acceptable.
Okay, I realize that this would probably bring alot of money for more than a few people out there. But really? Why do we condone behavior that is unaceptable to moral standards by cashing in on their parafanalia?
I am sure that curiosity comes into play for some of us when there is information put out there on a person that caused morally questionable issues. A book is published about a serial killer and ends up on the best sellers list. A movie is made about a demonic posession and is off the charts at the box office. A vehicle that was used to assist people in reaching the other side is put on ebay and instantly bids are placed.
So is it curiosity or is it wanting to be a part of something ugly but not commiting the act itself? Some individuals commit crimes to be publicly famous. Well after they are dead or convicted they are still celebrated for their crimes by the very citizens they were a threat to in the first place.
Why would we support and in a way condone what our laws and morals are against?

Good question. But I think it might be more of a way to "get rich quick" sceme than anything. People are always looking for the quicck way to make a buck and if you have something that was popular in the news then its going to be a hot item to sell. But, yes I do agree it is a morbid thing.
