THIS IS ONE OF SEVERAL POSTS RELATED TO THE REALITY THAT eBAY IRRATIONALLY CENSORS ARTISTS eBAY DOESN'T WILL APPLY A VAGUE STANDARD THAT COULD BE USED TO CENSOR THOUSANDS OF MATERIALS. GEORGE ZIMMERMAN, KILLER OF TRAYVON MARTIN WAS NOT CENSORED, BUT MADE $100K ON A TERRIBLE "PAINTING" OF HIS NO DOUBT BOUGHT BY SOME RACIST. BUT AN ARTIST WHO POSTED AN ANTI-ZIMMERMAN PAINTING OF SOME QUALITY HAD HIS AUCTION TAKEN DOWN. SO, A MEGA CORPORATION CAN ONCE AGAIN SCREW OVER THE LITTLE GUY, IN THIS CASE A YOUNG ARTIST WHO WAS TRYING TO MAKE MONEY TO GIVE TO THE TRAVON MARTIN FOUNDATION TO HELP AFRICAN AMERICANS LEAD A BETTER LIFE. THE ANTI-ZIMMERMAN PAINTING WAS TAKEN DOWN ON THE BASIS THAT IT WAS "HATEFUL AND DISCRIMINATORY." YET E-BAY HAS AN ETCHING FOR SALE INVOLVING "DEVIL WORSHIP" (OTHER'S IN THIS CATEGORY HAVE SEXUAL CONTENT) WHERE A WOMAN IS DEPICTED KISSING SATAN'S ANUS.
E-BAY HAS A POLICY THAT FORBIDS THE SELLING OF DEAD BODY PARTS YET RELICS OF SAINTS OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH ARE FOR SALE. THE ENFORCEMENT OF ITS POLICIES IS ERRATIC, IRRATIONAL, AND BASED ON THE WHIMS OF PEOPLE AND PROGRAMMED MACHINES LOOKING FOR WORDS IN ADS THAT RAISE RED FLAGS.
THIS IS AN ACTUAL NOV., 2013 AUCTION ON E-BAY:
