eGray political parody of eBay

Cute but it won't help. Story in the New York Times on Bill Simon's campaign doing one thing well -- a parody of eBay to help promote their negative campaign.

"Our attorneys will determine what the appropriate step will be," [eBay] spokesman Kevin Pursglove said Friday.

The creators of the site--members of Republican candidate Bill Simon's campaign--say they plan to keep eGray.org up and running. The site closely matches eBay's look and feel, but lists "California laws for sale," and accuses Davis of pushing legislation backed by special interest groups who donated to his campaign.

"Want to get rid of the pay-for-play governor? Click here to donate to Simon for Governor," the site reads. Davis campaign representatives did not return calls seeking comment.
