Shirts Of Their Backs

Brokeback Shirts
It's midnight and just over 16 hours to go until the Ebay auction ends, and Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger's shirts worn early in the Brokeback Mountain movie will find a new home. The current bid is $59,388.88 with 154 bids.
The shirts are original and authentic and blood-stained, however they've been studio cleaned, so those wanting to get a true wiff will have to leave it to their imagination, and watch their own personal dvd copy of Brokeback Mountain. Do you think they might autograph a copy of the dvd or a movie poster for the price, oops, I mean generous contribution to a charity to own a piece of movie history?
Brokeback Mountain is the most Academy Award nominated film this year, and definitely the most talked about.
Before you think, it might be fun to bid just because, remember that all bids are binding contracts and you could get a Porsche Boxster or these shirts. So you wonder, who would? A company such as Golden Palace? Or that company that bought advertising space on some guy's head for a month?
The proceeds from the sale of Jake and Heath's worn Brokeback Mountain shirts is Variety - the Children's Charity's Mission. Variety assists addicted, abused, neglected and physically-challenged children with 90 % of proceeds raised going to the special needs children.
Checking one last time, before posting. The current bid is now $59.588.88 with 155 bids.
