We’ve all heard the story about Robert Johnson, standing at the crossroads and selling his soul to the devil.
Nowadays, you don’t even need to leave the house.
CNN reports that New Zealand man Walter Scott put his soul up for auction on the website, TradeMe.
“I can’t see it, touch it or feel it, but I can sell it, so I’m going to palm it off to the highest bidder,” Scott, 24, said on the sale site.
And, as always happens when somebody tries to sell their soul on an auction site, the site took the auction down. But, Mr. Scott was in luck.
Rachael Allison, head of marketing for Hell Pizza, which has outlets across New Zealand and trades on a naughty image, said the company contacted Scott shortly after the auction was removed and offered him $3,800.
“The soul belongs to Hell, there is simply no better place for it,” Allison told The Associated Press. “He was pretty delighted.”…
Allison said she would fly to Scott’s home town of Wanganui on North Island Friday “to pick up the soul — or at least the deed of ownership.”…
The deed would be hung on a wall at the company’s headquarters in the northern city of Auckland and an image of it posted on the company’s Web site.
There you have it, Hell Pizza, who would of thought? They have cute, themed pizza names like, Doom, Envy, Greed, Lust, Mayhem and “the 333, a snack pizza with 1 topping for your little devil”.
And, now they have a guy’s “soul”.
Hmmm…..How about it, $3,800, would you sell your soul for pizza?
