…why?

Because, apparently, people would rather bid up to $8,100 on a frozen piece of fast food instead of using that money to do ANYTHING other than waste it on a frozen piece of fast food.

As silly as it is, at least the money earned from a chicken nugget that looks kinda, sorta like George Washington (if you look at it from the right angle, in the right light) went to a good cause.

Although she didn't know just how valuable this piece of breaded and fried chicken would eventually prove to be

To mark the end of the worst week in school history, Penn State University's football team lost to Nebraska at home on Saturday.

Despite the loss and circumstances following the Jerry Sandusky sex scandal, fan's spirits were high as many wore dark blue in support of the victims.

Even though students painted their chest, held signs and cheered for their beloved "Joe Pa", the student section formed the outline of a blue ribbon in the stands to honor the children abused by the former defensive coordinator.

After both teams kneeled to hold a moment of silence before the start of the game, the university's new president, Rodney Erickson, gave a heartfelt video statement in the first quarter, saying:

The Penn State football team played against Nebraska yesterday afternoon - the first game since legendary coach Joe Paterno was fired when it was revealed that he was aware of the HOriffic sexual abuse dozens of children were subject to under former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky and didn't do anything - and although both teams huddled together in a moment of silence for the victims before playing, and an emotional crowd sang the school song, they ultimately lost 14-17.

New coach Tom Bradley was quoted saying at the game's end:

"It was an unprecedented situation in the history of college football."

Well, it certainly was.

We wish we could be more sympathetic, but as of now all of ours - along with our prayers - are going to all the young people who's lives were changed forever by not only the vile actions of a predator, but by everyone who stood by and said nothing while it was going on.
