Vick Worth Only $7K?

by Stamos, Brahsome

In what may be foreshadowing of the next 18 months, Michael Vick was chewed up and spit out by a couple of big dogs who thought he was their bitch. Of course, for the time being, it was just a playing card bearing Vick's likeness that bore the wrath of these beasts. Rochelle Stefen, your run-of-the-mill artist and dog-lover from Missoura let her dogs go to town on 22 Michael Vick trading cards, leaving them tattered and torn (much like the Falcons' chances of breaking .500 this year). She then put them out for bidding on E-bay, hoping to generate $100 or so for local animal-related charities. Instead, the bidding, as of this morning, had reached over $7,000, and was still climbing.

Ms. Stefen has pledged to do 'very good things' with the proceeds, which we can only assume means page Donyell, her bookie, and lay down on Chopper, a 125 lb Doberman that all the boys down on 6th St. have been raving about for the past few weeks.

In an age where people are buying some randie-ass shit such as mummified walrus peen, it comes a no suprise that humanity would like to show their support for dogs everywhere by buying chewed up playing cards. Shockingly, no anti-bike people bid anything on the collection of our dads' beat up baseball cards, despite their having been horribly mauled by bicycle spokes some 40 years ago. We're cautiously optimistic that our comic books, which were torn apart and chewed up by our pet gerbils, will fetch a healtheir bid from anyone who suffered through Ghost Rider.
