Just in time for Father’s Day, Bill Cosby is auctioning off some of the hideous vibrant sweaters he wore as Dr. Cliff Huxtable on the Cosby Show. The bidding, which starts at $5,000, commences on eBay on June 2nd, and the proceeds will go to the educational foundation he created in his son’s honor.
This would appear to be the perfect opportunity to support a charity while giving your dad an expensive gift that you can guilt-trip him to wear for many Christmases to come. If he’s particulary unlucky, he might even be featured on the blog of Bad Sweater Guy.
If I had the cash I’d buy one and torch it…I’d make a tribal thing, a sort of “Burning Man” for ugly sweaters.
