New Item for Auction

So when we were sorting items out for our Strangercrombie catalog—you might want to sit down for a second, here—we fucked up. We forgot to include one particular item. So we're starting an auction on that item starting right now, and I'm willing to be it'll turn out to be a real bargain. Here's the item:

30 Seconds of Christmassy Genius!

Fancy, award-winning writers/directors/animators Tony Mullen and Rob Cunningham (creators of the delicately crafted, comically pitch-perfect short film Gustav Braustache and the Auto-Debilitator) will make a 30-second surreal video Christmas card just for you! Send them a photo of yourself, your pet, your mom, your couch, or whatever you like, and they will integrate it into the video in some tasteful, respectful, hilarious way. You’ll receive the finished product on a lovingly gift-wrapped DVD. PRICELESS! OPENING BID: $1.99!

Apologies to Misters Mullen and Cunningham. Clearly, this is a great goddamned item. And clearly, this great goddamned item is up for auction for less than half the time of the other Strangercrombie packages, which means there'll be less time to drive up the bid, which means you can profit on our fuckup. Go! Bid! Buy!

Strangercrombie. Once a year we do something good™...and even then we'll fuck it up!

Wow that's like the last thing I would bid on.

Now, a cartoony version of a pic you have to use as a JPG file for Facebook or Myspace, that might be useful ...

Like the free "Starring You" e-cards from Jibjab?
