I'm sure that most of you heard the recent story about the female astronaut who plotted to kidnap her love rival and even wore a diaper on her high speed drive to try to get there faster without having to take restroom breaks. Well, now it appears that this diaper is being sold on Ebay. Who do you think would bid on such a thing? I sure wouldn't, lol! For one thing, I wouldn't want _anyone's_ used diaper, not even my favorite celebrity in the world - let alone this woman who's main claim to fame was going a bit crazy all in the name of love, even though I sure do understand how easy it is to get wrapped up in the idea of being in love with someone.
Anyway, can you believe that the starting bid for this item was over £1,000?
Apparently, some people at a bed and breakfast along her driving route claim that she left it there, and that is how the item ended up for auction.

MsWolf, You know me, I had to go on Ebay to see this thing..lol Never saw something as such, but I didn't see it...It's probably under another name...But, the person who actually purchase less no BID on something like that is a sick as she was traveling cross the states...
The people who actually picked it up is sick also..lol The things people pick up and try to make a dollar on...shame I tell ya

Mzbubblie, I didn't look for it on Ebay myself - maybe they took it down? The link to the article is here, anyway:

It sounds pretty conclusive that the item was actually up for sale on Ebay at some point. Maybe EBay.co.uk instead of Ebay.com?

Oh my! No I hadn't heard that story. How truly bizare - and very unpleasant too. And I can assure you that I wouldn't want anyone's used nappy (or diaper as you call it!), - the while thing sounds positively disgusting to me! LOL!

What does this say about the mentality of the world today? It's bad enough that people would fish the diaper out of the garbage, but even worse that people would actually bid on it! What would one do with a used/dirty diaper? I'm with you, I don't care who it belonged to. People are becoming much too obsessed with "celebrities" these days; in fact the definition of "celebrity" is even a bit warped. It used to be that we idolized heroes, but now we put lunatics up on pedestals.

That illustrates perfectly the level of greed that has arisen in our society. Lets see, lets just suppose for a moment that I am sick enough to actually desire to have a used diaper from a strange astroNUT. I decide that it is a nice conversation piece. How on earth would one display said diaper? What do you say when guests arrive...."Do you know whose diaper this is?" What does etiquette dictate that a proper guest do when shown a used diaper? Is a guest supposed to exclaim "Oh my, I sure wish I had one of those..how nice!"
Geeze...how sick. I'm sure that ebay will likely pull the auction soon.

That is disgusting. I would never want someone's used diaper. I have a hard enough time dealing my own sons diapers.

This sounds disgusting. Whatever will they think of next. Has the diaper been used? Also, how does anybody know for sure that the diaper really belonged to the astronaut. Has anybody actually put a bid on it? If they have, I think they should have their head examined.

Used diaper...ewk..
There should be some limit, this is just disgusting. How crazy people are going day by day. Who put it on an auction is a total crazy person, but what I think is who are going to bid on it are more cray.
This kind of things should not be allowed in eBay.

LOL...I find this quiet comical. However, I agree with previous posters that eBay has rules about this sort of thing. How would you even prove it was legit?

If it's legitimate, ebay will most likely remove the auction. They have rules about auctioning off used clothing. It must be clean and sanitary. I don't think there is any way to make a disposable diaper clean and sanitary, do you?

That is totaly uncalled for that is gross and weird at the same time a used astronaut's diaper oh yay it came with free chocolate lol you have to be pretty dumb to buy a used astonaut's diaper but even a clean one you have to be pretty dumb to buy one. What's the need for a astonaut's diaper if you are not ever going into space it's a waste of ebay space.

I thought interest in this story would have at least "bottomed" out by now!
What's the possible headline for the sale going to be? Something like: "Nutty 'Nauts Nappy"- For Sale?
Honestly, I am really concerned about the "unraveling" of human intelligence, as described by this story...
Sadly there are some people out there who just aren't "wrapped" too tight! LOL!

That's disgusting. If it's legit, I can't imagine who in their right mind would want to buy that.

I've seen so many weird ebay auctions, but this is by far the most disgusting. Surely that MUST be against their rules somehow? I can't even sell a vintage designer bag as I have no proof its real. Ebay is the devil.
