eBay Yanks Ad For 'Schwarzenegger's DNA'
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Arnold Schwarzenegger, whose signature expression is "I'll be back," might have kept coming back for quite a few years to come.
Or at least his clone might have if things had gone as a would-be eBay seller had planned.
The anonymous person said he or she picked up a half-consumed cough drop the governor discarded at a public event and has offered it for sale on eBay, listing it under the heading "Schwarzenegger's DNA."
The Web site quickly took it down, saying it violates the online auction house's ban on trading in body parts. An eBay representative said the seller could put the cough drop back up for sale if he or she reclassifies it as a collectible.
