Than Shwe

Ebay stops sale of Than Shwe

In order to help the burmese people Surrend tried to sell the bumese junta leader Than Shwe on Ebay. Many people visited our ad on Ebay and Surrend received 19 bids and the final bid was more than 99 million us dollars. We also received very funny mails about Than Shwe - thanks!! But Ebay write to us that they dont think Than Shwe is an item - isn´t he? Our text on ebay was:

"General for sale
We know that former generals can be cumbersome to handle.
They are often very overweight after many years in power, and they
always wear military outfits.
That is certainly the case with Than Shwe, whom we are offering for
sale to the highest bidder.
He is soon a man of the past in Burma, where everyone wants him to
get
a good home far away from us, with nice and kind employers. As a
worker, Than Shwe is rather heavy going he is fat and lazy. So his
new owners should start with a hard disciplining programme. No
luxurious food and champagne for Than Shwe for many years, but plenty
of hard work and a simple bed. Gardening, weeding and gathering
leaves
would suit him well. Not work requiring independent thought
remember
that as a head of state, he ran a whole country down! Washing up
would
also be good for Than Shwe but be prepared for plate throwing if he
hears the word "monk"!
Due to his hot and unpredictable temper, we recommend that the new
owner chains him after the end of the working day.

With best wishes
The people of Burma "
