AuctionWire fooled by fake article from BBSpot!

Look at AuctionWire’s blurb. It makes it seem like the story is legit:
Ebay Implements One-click Bidding - AuctionWire

and then this quote from the real article:

Users like Harold Sweiss have been ecstatic about the new feature. “I’ve been trying to purchase a copy of Vanilla Ice’s To The Extreme on vinyl for several years, but I kept getting outbid at the last minute. But now, with one-click bidding, I finally got my prized possession, and I only had to pay $1,454,248.23!”

BBSpot is a humor site….

Called “the world’s greatest tech humour site” by The Register, BBspot creates entertainment for the geekier side of the world.

I took a quick screenshot of the article in case they take it down:
