Update [5pm 12/12/07 ]: Shirts have been removed from ebay

Last night we received an e-mail from Nathan Jones, media whore and one of the two Penn State students who dressed as Virginia Tech shooting "victims." In the e-mail, which apparently was sent to a number of other people, Jones explains that he was fired from his job on Thursday saying, "Bank of America has taken it upon itself to be the regulator of free speech by firing me yesterday. ... I was asked to resign or be fired; 'in lieu of dismissal' is actually how they put it." So, for those of you who were looking for some punishment, looks like you got it. Although, we smell lawsuit on this one.

Jones points out that he never mentioned his employer during any of his interviews and points out the irony that many people thought this might hurt his future job prospects (not thinking of current jobs, huh?). And if you're expecting an apology from him after this, don't hold your breath. He's sinking with the ship.

"Things are going to be hard now, especially since I have no outside support." Jones writes. "My mother is dead and my father hasn't spoken to me in years. However, even though I will be starving over the holidays and my credit cards will all default, I still will not apologize."

So, how do you pay bills when you've been fired from your job and basically the entire world hates you? Well, you sell the costumes that got you in trouble on ebay of course. Jones is selling the shirt worn by Jessica Maroclo and what looks like maybe the Virginia Tech  shirt he wore to the party, on ebay for $50 each.

A description of the man's shirt reads in part, " I need money to make it through the holiday season, I have no financial support outside of myself. As an extra, the winner of this bid will receive one of the original photographs shown all over the media, and I'll write whatever you want me to say on it. Happy bidding!!"

Wow, he's definitely going to hell. Anyway, if you want to take a look at the shirts (and bid on them you sicko) the links are here and here. But we suggest hurrying, it's doubtful that ebay will keep them up very long.
