Countrywide "Protect Our House" wristband being auctioned on eBay!

Many have passed along a link to an ongoing auction for one of the "Protect Our House" Countrywide green wristbands. The current bid (As of 2:00 pm EST, 10/11/07) is $33.00. From the auction page:

Some people believe that I am risking my job by selling this on Ebay. My thoughts are that I show my support to the company by working hard every day. I am happy with my job, I wish the best for my fellow employees who have lost their jobs, and I ask that you bid like crazy, just in case I need it!!! :)

Experts like blaming Countrywide for the current condition of the Mortgage industry, but that is just because we are the largest, who else are you going to blame? Once the dust settles and Countrywide regains the image that existed prior to this mess, this wrist band will be a collectible!

Whether or not these will be "collectibles" is hard to say, but we do find this auction humorous, and thought you might, too. One picture clearly depicts the inside of the band saying "Made in China". Could it be more perfect?

Note: We here at ML-implode would like to get our hands on one or two of these wristbands. If you happen to have one and you're willing to part with it, we will give you one free month of our premium subscription service. Email us here for further instructions.
