Ebay Pulls Glenn Beck’s ‘Obama In Pee Pee’ Figurine Meant To Be Auctioned For Charity

Glenn Beck wants to raise money for charity. With pee. Well, with fake pee, but still. The so-called piece of art features an Obama bobble head doll in a jar of yellow liquid. Apparently the piece is supposed to be a parody of the controversial “artwork” that defaced a crucifix with a glass of urine. Beck says that point is to “highlight the hypocrisy of those who rail against disparaging figures who they hold dear, but do not hold themselves to the same standard when disparaging figures others hold dear.” Right.

Beck planned to auction the jar on eBay, with all proceeds going to Beck’s Mercury One charity. The charity’s mission statement claims that its purpose is: “To inspire, organize and mobilize individuals to improve the human condition physically, emotionally and spiritually with malice towards none and charity for all.”

I’ll bet that little bobble head felt a teensy bit of malice while it was being stuck in a jar of pee.

eBay recently pulled the item down from the auction site, claiming that since it has urine, it was against company standards to list. The last bid was for over $11,000.

In a letter from eBay, the company explains its decision to pull the piece:
