Want a job where it's your responsibility to address seedy, odd, vulgar, offensive and mischievous facets of society almost every day? Try being eBay spokesman Kevin Pursglove. For instance, check out this story about a family that tried to auction itself for $5 million online. Pursglove's name appears in the second paragraph. He's almost a celebrity. Do a news search for "Nazi and eBay" or "guns and eBay" or "dildoes and eBay" or anything similar combination, and his name will probably be in the article. He does, however, have to be the killjoy in most cases. The common construction is Pursglove telling a reporter that the company invoked some sort of no-fun rule. A hypothetical example: "eBay spokesman Kevin Pursglove confirmed that a vial of Marlon Brando's testicular sweat was removed from the auction site Thursday because of concerns by the reclusive and eccentric actor that someone would use it to clone him."
