Want to Buy a Soul?
• Cheap Laughs
A man put his soul up for bid on a Chinese auction site. The management says their policies don't forbid selling souls but do want to make sure any seller can actually transfer the property.
Mr [Porter] Erisman said Taobao wasn't opposed to the idea of soul selling online, but wanted more proof that the seller could provide the goods.
"After some discussion, we decided that we will allow the member to sell his soul on Taobao, but only if he can provide written permission from a 'higher authority'," he said.
