Ebay selling Agarwal people (an Indian Community)

This is one of the most weird thing I ever saw on the Internet. An online auction site in UK - eBay.co.uk is offering "Agarwal for Sale" and one can choose from a big selection of "Agarwal". I am sure it would upset millions of Agarwal worldwide to see that "Agarwal" is for sale on eBay ? Agarwals are descendents of Vaish King Maharaja Agarsen and the Agarwal Community has a very prominent place in all the communities in India at present.

While searching for Agarwal on Google.co.uk, I saw this weird ad in the Google Adbox (though the ad says ebay.co.uk, it links to some advertising site qksrv.net)


Looks like eBay has little control on what it's affiliates can sell on the internet. Take a look at some of these previous eBay ads.

1. A woman rents her cleavage on Ebay to advertise their logo, web site or slogan. Says Angel in her eBay listing for ample 42GG breasts: "No longer restricted to USA based advertising, you can now rent my CLEAVAGE for a period of 15 days, during which I will display your company logo, slogan or web-site address in the form of a temporary tattoo you will supply to me".

2. A pregnant woman sells ad space on belly. See her picture here. The Golden Palace Casino won the auction. But the woman was later sued after refusing to sell to the highest bidder SunPoker.com.

3. African Slaves available on eBay. See the ad selling slaves here. This outrage was discovered by a Google Group member who typed "African Slave" into Google, and was shocked to find this offer. Robert Gale says that Whilst Google has fixed the African Slaves eBay ad, there are still some weird eBay ads to be found, including great deals farts and victims.

4. Homeless People. A big selection is available and it's low priced. See this screenshot at Robert's site.

While these are ads of affiliates (see the aff!) and not available directly on eBay, still eBay must ensure that nothing so outrageous happens. Ebay has presence in India though Baazee.com which was also in the news for selling porn material on their website Baazee.com. Not sure, who's next to sue ebay.co.uk ?

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry. Some third-party Facebook hacks like "Facebook Sync" (for Mac) and "Facebook Downloader" (for Windows) did allow you to download your Facebook friends' names, emails, mobile phone number and profile photo to the desktop but they were quickly removed for violation of Facebook Terms of Use. How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall. Facebook offers the Takeout option allowing you to download all Facebook data locally to the disk (include
