Bid On eBay To Save Planet Earth

Button eBay has so many awesome ideas for Xmas presents. Here's one you can give to the whole world! The seller has built a doomsday device (pictured right). You are bidding on stopping the seller from pushing the button. As the seller explains (in huge psychotic red block letters):

IF I DON'T RECEIVE ENOUGH ATTENTION FROM THIS AUCTION (AND BIDS) I WILL PRESS THIS BUTTON (I REALLY WILL) AND RELEASE UPON THE EARTH (WELL, REALLY CAN'T TELL YOU THAT, IT'S A SECRET).

BUT REST ASSURED IT WILL NOT BE NICE! THE ONLY WAY TO STOP ME IS TO BID OFTEN AND BID HIGH!

THE WINNER OF THIS AUCTION WILL BE THE HERO THAT SAVED THE PLANET EARTH AND WILL RECEIVE A BOX, WHAT IS IN THE BOX IS MY  LITTLE SECRET! AND MY GIFT TO YOU!

The seller is also available to answer any questions bidders may have. (I guess s/he types with one hand since the other is hovering over the button.) For instance:

Q: Do the consequences of pushing the button have anything to do with the supply of feta cheese in the world?

A: CHEESE!!! YOU MENTIONED CHEESE!!! OH THE PAIN!!! THE VOICES ARE SAYING DON'T WAIT ANOTHER SECOND, PUSH IT NOW!!!!!!!

And another:

Q: you sound like a brain dead loser, I hope the feds show up at your house and haul your stupid ass to jail. Say hi to bubba and post pics of your wedding in jail loser.

A: THAT'S WHAT THE INTERNET IS FOR: SLANDERING OTHERS ANONYMOUSLY!!! THE VOICES ARE TELLING ME THAT YOU WILL MAKE A FINE SLAVE WHEN IT IS OVER!!!

$9,100 for Guitar Hero or $21.00 to save the planet?  Hmm, tough choice. But I kinda want to know what's in the box, don't you?
