Press ReleaseFlorida Woman Puts Her 15 Minutes of Fame Up for Bid on eBayPALM COAST, Fla., March 13, 2006 -- A Florida woman, who has meticulously avoided any type of personal publicity or fame all her life, has decided to sell her unused "15 minutes of fame" to the highest bidder on the popular Internet site eBay."I thought I might as well sell it to somebody who could really use it," said the seller, who wishes to remain anonymous. The woman's identity is a tightly held secret. "If we divulge her name to the media, it would use up some of her fame time," said her spokesman, Doug Garrison. "Then she wouldn't have as much to sell." The eBay listing goes live today, and is scheduled to last seven days. The high bidder will be announced in a public relations campaign delivered to over 10,000 media outlets, so it's possible that the buyer's fame could far exceed pop artist Andy Warhol's suggested timeframe. It was Warhol's assertion that since our culture was so enamored by fame and publicity eventually everyone in the world would be famous for 15 minutes. "Hit television show Americon Idol is the perfect example of this. Thousands of hopefuls sing their heart out (sometimes very badly) for a shot at the brass ring of fame. Now, it looks like all you have to do is log on to eBay and make a bid," said Garrison. For further information, contact: Doug Garrison (386) 503 8196 garrisonstudio@yahoo.com |
