The eBay auction of a cheese sandwich said to bear the image of the Virgin Mary has drawn cheesy spoofs, including victuals meant to resemble the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
Owner Diana Duyser, 52, of Hollywood, Florida, insists that what looks like a face on the grilled sandwich she kept by her bedside for the past 10 years "is the Virgin Mary, Mother of God" and that the sacred snack is miraculously mould-free.
But the legions of Mary-sandwich spoofers evidently do not have much faith in her claim.
Dozens of items inspired by the apparitional sandwich were listed on the eBay internet auction house today.
Among the most unorthodox offerings were an "Ariel Sharon pork chop", "Yasser Arafat on a falafel" and a "George W Bush tortilla".
There was also the "Virgin Mary's used gum in grilled cheese", the "Virgin Mary condom" and, from the junk-food-loving icon himself, the "Elvis - NOT Virgin Mary - better grilled cheese sandwich."
