Pol Pot Mercedes For Sale on E-bay:

Genocide Optional


Always wanted to be a mass murderer, but never had the time or opportunity? Well now you can feel like one as you ride down the road in your 1973 Mercedes-Benz Pol Pot Special Edition Killer!

[Note: The four on the floor might be bodies.]

If you got the bucks, E-bay's got the car. From der Spiegel:
He was one of the most brutal dictators of the 20th century. Now Pol Pot's car is up for grabs on eBay. A Brit is offering the 1973 Mercedes Limousine that is said to have once belonged to the Cambodian dictator for 35,000 pounds.

"For Sale - one classic 1973 Mercedes Benz Stretch Limousine (short-wheel base stretch) -- previously used by one infamous owner -- Pol Pot who led the Khmer Rouge during its genocidal regime in Cambodia from 1975-1979." This is the tantalizing, if morally dubious, offer to car shoppers on eBay. The going price is 35,000 pounds (about €50,000 or $72,000).


Want to bid on an authentic slice of genocidal 20th-century history? Here's the page to bid on E-bay.
Current bid at post: $71,799.00.

From the depths of Cambodia comes this amazing story. Lions, midgets and no genocide, Pol Pot-style populate this article.

Spectators cheered as entire Cambodian Midget Fighting League squared off against African Lion

Tickets had been sold-out three weeks before the much anticipated fight, which took place in the city of Kâmpóng Chhnãng.

The fight was slated when an angry fan contested Yang Sihamoni, President of the CMFL, claiming that one lion could defeat his entire league of 42 fighters.

Sihamoni takes great pride in the league he helped create, as was conveyed in his recent advertising campaign for the CMFL that stated his midgets will "... take on anything; man, beast, or machine."
