EBay refuses to list Yukon artistâs âweaselâ cards
Congrats to eBayAn artist in Yukon who created pictures of playing cards mocking the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush has been told he canât sell them on EBay â and received death threats for even trying. Dawson City artist John Steins had his listings removed from the U.S.-based Internet auction site late last month, ostensibly for violating its "Faces, Names and Signatures" policy. He has created a parody of the White Houseâs deck of cards featuring its most-wanted Iraqis. Steins is undeterred by either EBay or the hate mail he has received. "I think an artist has to use their talent to make a statement that they really believe in, though it might be really unpopular," he said. Steins has registered his own Web site â www.thebushadministration.com ... If you have nothing better to do, go to this guyâs website and read his descriptions of the cards, although itâs nothing we havenât heard before... Posted by: Raphael 2003-08-06 |
