Unusual eBay feedback comments.
By BRODIE H. BROCKIE, JUSTIN VIDOVIC, BEN FLASTER, and GUTBLOOM
POSITIVE: Item shipped quickly, have been having erotic dreams about seller. Thanks!
POSITIVE: Thanks for great Rainbow Brite lunchbox. Should shrunken head be inside?
NEUTRAL: Excellent communication, but should've poked holes in box before shipping the kitten. Refunded.
NEGATIVE: Despite indication in listing, I could not fit item into any of my body cavities.
NEGATIVE: Honda R-Type sticker did not add horsepower as advertised.
NEUTRAL: Item shipped promptly and in good condition, but I should not have to bid on birthday presents from my parents.
POSITIVE: I don't really remember what I ordered. But I've been sitting in the box it came in all day, and it's great!
NEGATIVE: Product didn't work, possibly broken. I woke up this morning and was disappointed to find I still believe in Jesus Christ our Savior. :(
POSITIVE: Excellent Buyer. A++++++. Thrilled by the quartz movement of the "Rolex". HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
NEGATIVE: Should have been clearer that seller only accepts payment in Bhats via Eastern Union Moneygram.
POSITIVE: Plain brown packaging seemed to fool my wife. Thanks!
NEGATIVE: The dog won't hunt.
NEGATIVE: Very nice monkey mascot costume, but it's a size 34, not a 63 as advertised.
NEGATIVE: Lederhosen not as pink as the picture led me to believe.
POSITIVE: A+++++. Items are exactly as described. Best case of kalashnikovs I've ever bought. Allah Akbar!
NEGATIVE: This is clearly the ninth, NOT THE SIXTH, repackaging of Mad Super Special #24.
POSITIVE: One of the scents mixed in with the packing peanuts remind me of a passionate weekend in Rio... was that you?
POSITIVE: The way you wrote my zip-code makes me weak in the knees. Such smooth strokes. A+!
NEGATIVE: Though you did nothing wrong, I am giving you this negative feedback to teach you that the universe is arbitrary and unfair.
NEGATIVE: Buying this Space 1999 Lunchbox did not fill the void in my empty life for as long as I'd hoped.

Breakdance
Senior Aircraftman Dean Tabreham, 28, has become a YouTube star after footage of his unorthodox methods was posted on the Internet.
The clip shows SAC Tabreham dancing in a series of exuberent styles while directing Tornado jets during an international exercise in Belgium, before donning the running outfit made famous in the 118 118 television adverts.
But far from facing discliplinary action, SAC Tabreham has been praised by Ministry of Defence chiefs for his "great enterprise". The prank was staged to raise money for Cancer Resarch UK.
"The video has become cult viewing and shows great enterprise and a sense of humour", a senior officer told The Sun newspaper. "There was no danger at all to any RAF personnel".
The video begins with clips of the more reserved signalling of American, Spanish, German, Italian and Dutch ground crews.
"This is how the Brits do it" then flashes on screen, and SAC Tabreham - wearing oversize gloves - is shown doing the movements to the Village People classic YMCA while directing pilots.
In suqsequent clips he can be seen dancing to rave music and attempting breakdance moves, as well as strutting his stuff to Michael Jackson's Thriller.
Finally, he braves the cold weather in shorts and a jogging vest emblazoned with the "118 118" logo to entertain other ground crew and pilots at the base.
SAC Tabreham is a member of the RAF's elite 12 bomber squadron, based at RAF Lossiemouth, Scotland.

Beware of Sears.com
Is Sears Engaging in Criminal Hacking Behavior?
Join "My SHC Community" on Sears.com, and the company will install some pretty impressive spyware on your computer:
Sears.com is distributing spyware that tracks all your Internet usage - including banking logins, email, and all other forms of Internet usage - all in the name of "community participation." Every website visitor that joins the Sears community installs software that acts as a proxy to every web transaction made on the compromised computer. In other words, if you have installed Sears software ("the proxy") on your system, all data transmitted to and from your system will be intercepted. This extreme level of user tracking is done with little and inconspicuous notice about the true nature of the software. In fact, while registering to join the "community," very little mention is made of software or tracking. Furthermore, after the software is installed, there is no indication on the desktop that the proxy exists on the system, so users are tracked silently.
Here is a summary of what the software does and how it is used. The proxy:
1. Monitors and transmits a copy of all Internet traffic going from and coming to the compromised system.
2. Monitors secure sessions (websites beginning with ‘https'), which may include shopping or banking sites.
3. Records and transmits "the pace and style with which you enter information online..."
4. Parses the header section of personal emails.
5. May combine any data intercepted with additional information like "select credit bureau information" and other sources like "consumer preference reporting companies or credit reporting agencies".
If a kid with a scary hacker name did this sort of thing, he'd be arrested. But this is Sears, so who knows what will happen to them. But what should happen is that the anti-spyware companies should treat this as the malware it is, and not ignore it because it's done by a Fortune 500 company.
