Dennis Rodman Auctions Himself For Charity, Nobody Cares.

It’s not like you would be saving puppies or something with the guy. Nope, instead Dennis Rodman decided to represent the Asthmatic League and auction off a night with him at Score’s Gentleman Night Club in Las Vegas. Sure, you get to bring two of your friends, but with Halloween so close to the winning date, why scare yourself further? From the ebay listing:

“A SIT DOWN DINNER WITH DENNIS WILL KICK OFF THE NIGHT AND THEN TO THE VIP SECTION OF SCORES FOR THE DURATION. WILD WOULD NOT GIVE THIS NIGHT ENOUGH CREDIT. PICTURES WILL BE ALLOWED.”

All this, for just $7,500.

With just over an hour left on the auction and nobody bidding, it’s safe to say that perhaps saving puppies would have encouraged more enthusiasm for the offer. That, or somebody else besides Dennis Rodman. I wonder how the Asthmatic League feels about being associated with Scores….

Ohhh, I feel bad for him. But it’s kind of weird to auction off a night with you at a strip club. But wait…I’m searching for this “Asthmatic League”…the only thing that comes up are other blogs talking about this auction. Is it even a real charity? Is this even for real?

Yeah, there’s a lot of info floating out there in the blogosphere that seems to be of dubious origin… I’m not singling out ecorazzi; I just notice a lot of circuitously referenced items on blogs in general.
