International Society of Supervillains: The Website Debates, Part 4: The eBay Issue Auction

With the popularity of the Democratic YouTube Debate a few weeks ago and the soon-to-come Republican YouTube Debate, a number of other popular websites on the national internets have decided to get in on the act and hold debates of their own. We continue our preview of these upcoming presidential shout-offs with a look at the latest debate, sponsored by eBay.com.

Format

Note: The eBay debate is open to lobbyists, special interests and political action committees. Individuals voices will not be heard, nor do we care what they might have said.

Debate will take place on eBay in real time. Each candidate will submit an attribute or stance on particular issue. Shoppers will bid on the attributes and issue stances. When the auction expires the highest bidder will be the owner of the stance/attribute and have all future rights to influence and alter the stance/attribute.

All sales are “as-is.” Seller is not responsible for shipping. A candidate’s listed beliefs and views may differ from candidate’s actual beliefs and views. Seller is not responsible for inaccurate descriptions of goods, damaged goods or future flip-flops on issues. Caveat emptor. There are no returns or refunds for any reason.

Buyer assumes full responsibility for purchase. Failure to pay will result in negative feedback, but since these people are lobbyists and PACs they’re pretty much used to it.

“Buy It Now” option is in effect.

All money raised goes towards the balloon drop at the respective political convention of each candidate.
