Heartland

Listening to the radio last night, I heard a story about a craze sweeping the web-world. It's called reflecto-porn, apparently. This consists of selling household appliances on Ebay - kettles, toasters, tv sets, spoons (!) - and subtly including a naked picture of yourself reflected in the item on sale!!!!

These have to be subtle, as Ebay will pull off anything they find (oo-er), and are not always that sexual, apparently. More of a kind of semi-innocent photographic challenge, it seems. And hordes of people are supposed to be trying.

It's an odd, odd world, and I couldn't possibly condone this behaviour. A quid to the first person to find one

That's what I love about mankind! The inventiveness! Brilliant!

I feel kind of sorry for the gormless e-bayer who probably invented this past time purely by accident.

i can see the idea, only 14 pages to go


must remember Hal, next time she moans on at me about painting the ceiling, i can think ah well, at least she isn't on at me about selling the kettle again.

you often accidentally take pictures of household items when you're on the job

I'll forfeit my chance to win the reward. There's only some many kettles, tea pots, mirrors, toasters and shiney things you can look at on ebay before the brain starts to malfunction and the lights go out ...

Umm, this looks somewhat dodgy if you look at it closely...

Me and some friends have been seeing these sort of auctions for many months, shows the media always look to the internet when it's a slow news day and they need some space to fill.

I hope this doesn't spread to people's avatars

ROFL!!! Hmm...

Reflecto - Porn - Myself and Mrs Goth - think that is a really really good idea

I wonder if "EBAY" sell mirrors by chance?

Knew You'd Be Pleased.....
