Britney Spears "Umbrella Attack" Ford Explorer for sale
Remember when bald-headed Britney Spears went bananas and attacked a paparazzo's SUV with a green umbrella? An armada of Martian flying saucers landing in Central Park's Sheep Meadow would have gotten less media attention. In any case, the owner either needs cash badly or simply came to the realization that in this celeb-addled society, there might be some
UPDATE: Commenter naugahyde points out that the listing is vague, as it says it's for a Ford Explorer Sport with the actual umbrella-weapon. So it could possibly not be the Explorer Sport that suffered at the hands of the pop star. Now, based on auction telecasts we've seen, this should be no obstacle to the insane with money if it is, in fact, the case. Then it's simply known as a "recreation."

And Autoblog is giving the whole shebang a lot more free publicity, and even a digg article!
Way to go, nothing perpetuates silliness akin to celebrity-attacked SUV-sales like "soft news" pieces like this. I'll wait for the article on what Lindsay Lohan was buzzedly driving with bated breath. The anticipation of Paris' next automotive blunder certainly has me in bunches!

Geez, how the (*@&%$( far will these jerks go to make money on this girl? Exploitation is NOT the way to impress someone. Leave her alone.

It is kinda vague. They're more interested in selling the broken umbrella.

The $25K bid may be bogus itself. (Remember the first auction for the General Lee?)

According to the Ebay listing's Q&A section, the author made another dubiously worded claim that the truck is authentic:
Q:"TMZ.com calls it "the same 2002 Ford Explorer". You call it "a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Truck". Is it the same truck or not? Thanks! Jul-25-07
A: Yes,it's the same Truck. "
