Over 30 years after John Lennon was murdered and he's still being sold off bit by bit. The latest piece of Lennon memorabilia to be sold at auction was the white two-piece suit he wore on the cover of the Beatles album Abbey Road. The piece was sold to an anonymous bidder at an auction in Connecticut over the weekend, and went for $46,000. That's cool and all, but personally we think the real winner was Hank Gioiella, who paid just $5,500 for the green 1972 Chrysler station wagon Lennon and Yoko Ono owned.

City Hall Welcome Imaginary Friends
AdAge was at the event and reported (registration required, but it's free):
Many icons were no-shows, including Ronald McDonald and the Jolly Green Giant. A rumor quickly circulated that the Energizer Bunny did not make an appearance because the marketer felt that it would be "off-message" for the drum-thumping rabbit to be seen in public being "wanded" at City Hall's security checkpoint.Still, it's like a Madison Avenue acid trip!
