Epidemic of Stupid
I propose that all auction web sites should implement a feature wherein two high bids are managed: the first is the actual high bid from whomever can afford to pay for the item at auction close, and the second is the "OMG I want it THIS bad!" bid from the inbred cretins who, though they don't have the money for the item, still feel compelled to put in a bid for whatever weird endorphin rush reason they can't control.
