Ohhhhhhh boy. These are the things that are read that make you question the human race and make one hope for other intelligence on far away planets that might actually surpass what we have here on earth.

Case in point, Deion Sanders and his rant about Michael Vick’s dog-fighting allegations. Some people need to stick to doing what they do best and leave all opinions and thoughts about matters locked away tightly in their head where no one can see them, hear them or know of them and thus come to the conclusion that you are truly an idiot.

Sanders, who has been writing a weekly column for The (Fort Myers, Fla.) News-Press, his hometown newspaper, since January, turned his thoughts last week on Vick, the Atlanta Falcons quarterback facing felony conspiracy charges connected to dogfighting.

After the lovely thoughts he let flow out of him and onto printed paper, the NFL Network has asked him to stop writing about the Vick case after Sanders’ column on the subject came under fire on ESPN Radio and drew criticism from across the nation.

Ya think?

Here’s one memorable quote from his article:

What a dog means to Vick might be a lot different than what he means to you or I. Hold on, don’t start shaking your head just yet. Listen to me. Some people kiss their dogs on the mouth. Some people let their dogs eat from their plate. Some people dress their dogs in suits more expensive than mine, if you can believe that. And some people enjoy proving they have the biggest, toughest dog on the street. You’re probably not going to believe this, but I bet Vick loves the dogs that were the biggest and the baddest. Maybe, he identified with them in some way.

It gets better:

I believe Vick had a passion for dogfighting. I know many athletes who share his passion. The allure is the intensity and the challenge of a dog fighting to the death. It’s like ultimate fighting, but the dog doesn’t tap out when he knows he can’t win. It reminds me of when I wore a lot of jewelry back in the day because I always wanted to have the biggest chain or the biggest, baddest car. It gives you status. Can I pause for a moment to ask you a question? Who shot Darrant Williams? Remember the Denver Bronco cornerback? I’m just more concerned about bringing to justice someone who killed a human.

Deion has no business writing a column about anything other the sports he has played anymore than than I need to be dressed in a jersey, cleats and a helmet out on the football field trying to run plays.

Bringing up the past when he wore tons of jewelry isn’t a wise choice either.

We read about this a couple of days ago and we weren’t going to include it on our site but after getting over 20 tips about this, I guess you guys think this is worth mentioning so here it is:

A Michael Vick dog chew toy - we’re not advocating this toy in any way - we’re unsure of the material used to make it or if it’s safe for your dog. More info including the ability to purchase one can be found here.

As suspected by most, the bid for $1.5 milion dollars on a used tin can of dog food has been removed. It seems that 90% of the bids turned out to be “bids for fun” which isn’t cool to the folks over at eBay monitoring the policies.

So here’s an update - yesterday, the highest bid was over $1.5 million. Today, now we see the high bid at $162.50. That price is still surprising to us over here at CDW because well, the can is empty and uh, it’s just a can.

A question on the listing explains it all:

Q: Hi! Did you take out the highest bids!? IF YES WHY?? Jun-28-07
A: WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH EBAY TO ROOT OUT ILLEGITIMATE BIDDERS. PLEASE ALLOW LEGITIMATE BIDDERS / COLLECTORS TO BID ON THIS ITEM. THANK YOU.

So, for those of you that thought you were out of the game to own this one-of-a-kind item, don’t fret my pets, it looks like the clock has been reset and you can bid, bid, bid away. Just don’t bid with a sense of humor

Starpulse is asking the above question and we’re curious too.

A pair of enterprising scavengers from the Web site HollywoodStarTrash.com were stunned to learn Wednesday that the empty gourmet dog food can they had plundered from Hilton’s trash had launched an eBay bidding war reaching $1.5 million.

”I’m definitely skeptical,” said one of the HollywoodStarTrash guys, who declined to give his full name for fear of jeopardizing his day job.

Although he noted the top bidder’s eBay profile shows the person has gotten no complaints from sellers, he said he has asked the Web site to check on the bid’s legitimacy and pull it if it’s fake.

”I’d hate to get that eBay bill and then nobody pays,” he laughed.

Ebay spokeswoman Kim Rubey said the online auction site is investigating.

”We do like to remind all the buyers that any bid is a binding contract to enter into an agreement with the seller, and we do have rules against bids that are not legitimate and we will take action against a joke bid,” she said.

Hilton has famously and frequently been spotted toting her Chihuahua, Tinkerbell.

HollywoodStarTrash put three other Hilton items for sale on eBay: a used toothbrush, an autographed postcard and a fan letter to the reality TV star. The highest bid for those was $285 for the toothbrush. Bidding closes Sunday.

Party Animal, which goes for as much as $2.99 per can and can be found in about 150 stores in Southern California and about 40 in New York. It can also be bought through the company’s Web site.

Abrams said Hilton, one of his best customers, buys it by the case.

”They are the most well-taken-care-of dogs,” he said of her pets.

So this brings us to ask, if you can buy a can of the actual food for $2.99, why buy one empty can for over a million? Do you think the high bidder is going to come through and pay?

If you’ve ordered the food for your dog, what are your thoughts and how did your pooches like it?

Yes, it’s true, quirky but true. If you’re so inclined and if you so desire, you could be the winner of an empty can of dog food that was once fed to one if not all (I don’t know how much those little dogs eat) of Paris Hilton’s dogs.

I’m serious, I wouldn’t make this up, my imagination is good but not this good or wild.

We reported a while back that six cases of this gourmet dog food were delivered to Paris’ house, along with a large fruit basket from Edible Arrangements that included chocolate-covered strawberries, grapes and melons on Thursday, June 7, 2007.

eBay seller hollywoodstartrash has one Party Animal Organic gourmet empty dog food can up for auction! At the time we’re posting this, the can is up to $305.

Uh people, you can buy your own case with that dough!

Thanks to Stephen for sending us the link to the auction!
