From time to time, I like to point out things that are tacky. On E-bay there is an offering for the above ground tomb located directly above the final resting place of Marilyn Monroe. It is currently occupied, but will be vacated when sold. The seller is the widow, Elsie Poncher, of the deceased, Richard Poncher. She plans on moving his remains and taking the money to pay off her Beverly Hills mortgage.
Bidding for the plot is going well, it opened at $500,000 and had reached $2.5 million by Sunday.
The Westwood Village Memorial Park is home to many celebrities, including Dean Martin, James Coburn, Roy Orbison, Truman Capote, Natalie Wood, and the recently deceased Farrah Fawcett.
Playboy's Hugh Hefner bought the crypt beside Monroe in 1992.
This is just another small reason why the rest of the world simply doesn't understand Americans.
