I guess I skipped over the line that says it's now going for $145! There are at least a few idiots in the world. Oh well, at least it's for a good cause. I still think he might have done something actually NICE. He must have spent all of five minutes creating this 'masterpiece'. Lots of heart there, Mario! I'm going to look at the other ones now, bet they ALL put his to shame.
Mario Batali's Swine Splatter Art
Mario Batali's appropriately porcine contribution to the Food Bank for New York City's annual lunchbox auction is splattered with pig's blood, salt, pepper, and fennel seed (for an inside-out, postmodern twist, it comes filled with salted salami casings). The revolting, one-of-a-kind lunch carrier is currently available for bidding online (now going for $145), along with other artistic contributions from Alice Waters, Wyie Dufresne, Ellen Page, Yoko Ono, and Liv Tyler, among celebs. Bid now through December 18 at thelunchboxauction.org.

OK...so maybe not! I'm taken aback that so few people thought it worth spending any time on this project. If my name were going to be on something I would at least try to not embarrass myself. Just sayin' (And, yes, this will be my last comment on this subject. Should have thought this through a little better before starting.
I'm sorry, that WASN'T my last comment. I spoke in haste, as the first page I clicked on must have been the worst of the bunch. I went back, and found some really great boxes. I registered to bid, I know the ones I like and will check towards the end to see where the bids stand. Of course, the ones I like the very best are already out of my price range, but I am hoping the others stay within a reasonable price range. Some of these are well worth looking at.
