Saving the world, one stapler at a time.

Saving the world, one stapler at a time. Now you can buy a stapler (signed by an uber-celeb) and be a philanthrophic soul at the same time! If only they had a red Swingline signed by Milton, my life would be complete. But why would anybody want this one signed by Paris Hilton? God knows where it's been!

The only reason I can think of for paying $1000.00 for the Paris Hilton one is that it'll probably be worth more immediatly after she ODs or something, which is probably what the high bidder is betting on. Unless he's just a freaky perv.

I'd buy a stapler signed by Marcel Duchamp.

I'm trying to understand why Jennifer Love Hewitt has the highest bid so far.

Wouldn't the only appropriate celebrites for this be Al Roker and Carnie Wilson?

Celebrity staplers? Man, people are losers. Or wait, people who buy these ridiculous money grubbing buggers are losers.

And why would someone buy a stapler signed by Paris Hilton, she has no idea what a stapler is but I bet she tried to stuff it in her coochie, just to be safe.

I was shocked that Paris Hilton could write her own name!

What I find interesting is the price range for people. And while I wouldn't mind buying Dana Delany, what on earth would I do with her stapler?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say "staple stuff".

I do have to say that the One Touch Staplers autographed here are awesome. I'm not a design connoisseur by any means, and I love mine. It's super powerful, feels like an automatic weapon to load, and has an effortless action mechanism. I actually find myself being excited that I've just printed something because now I get to staple it.

Ex..excuse me, I b-b-belive you have m-m-my Kapler.

I was disappointed to find that this was not a typo and it was not signed by the star of Welcome Back Kotter.


Did they think long and hard before having Kobe autograph one? Maybe he should have penned his name on a post-holer instead.

But the point is, why would you need an autographed stapler to staple stuff?

And m@, hey maybe Kobe should launch his own line of products, it could include a Ditch Witch too!

Your joke was way better than mine. I'm gonna go sit in a meeting and look interested now.

Your life is complete. No image, so it may not be red.

OT (but strangely pertinent), anybody see the South Park parody of Paris Hilton last night? Friggin' classic. She put a pineapple down there, and that's not even the funny part.
