Florida Capitol Festivus Pole Up for Sale on eBay

The Festivus pole that graced the floor of the Florida Capitol rotunda this past holiday season is up for grabs on eBay.

The 6-foot tall pole crafted by Chaz Stevens had a bid of $100 as of Tuesday morning. Stevens agreed to pay shipping, and all proceeds from the sale will go to South Florida's Women in Distress, afull-service domestic violence center serving Broward County.

The item's description read:

The pole was *everywhere,* seen by millions and millions of folks. For two-days, it was a top Twitter trending hashtag.

"I am so outraged by this," Carlson told Catholic League President Bill Donohue. "Why do I have to drive around with my kids to look for nativity scenes and be, like, 'Oh, yeah, kids, look, there's baby Jesus behind the Festivus pole made out of beer cans! It's nuts!"

To which the Daily Show's Jon Stewart replied, "Why are you driving around looking for nativity scenes in a car, when you could just bring your kids to where you work, where you put a giant nativity scene out on the plaza?"

Then, there's Stephen Colbert, "In addition to the nativity scene, the Florida state capitol has a Festivus pole, a menorah and a monument to the Aztec snake god, Governor Rick Scott."

Seinfeld writer, and inventor of the Festivus episode Dan O'Keefe, noted, "Am I to understand that some humanoid expressed outrage that the baby Jesus was behind a pole made of beer cans?"

So, now's your chance to own a unique piece of American History.

Bidding will end Jan. 13.
