Will the Howard Stern Show allow Natalie Dylan to auction off her virginity?
After considerable wringing of hands I've decided to void this market. At the time the market was created, Howard had already made clear that he was having nothing to do with the actual auction ( http://www.howardstern.com/rundown.hs?d=1220932800 ) so the intrepertaion that this market was only based on whether he would allow the auction to place on his show has bad initial odds. Conversely, as some have claimed if its just that Howard is somehow "allowing" her to auction herself off somewhere else.. Exactly what is his ability to stop it? Again, any initial odds greater than .5% make no sense to me. Either way, it appears that most bettors were predicting my definition of the question, rather than the actual news, which is usually a good indication of a question needing to be voided. . Sorry to all!
Background:
The Sacramento State grad, who uses the pseudonym "Natalie Dylan," told "The Insider" she is "ready for the controversy."
"I don't think auctioning my virginity will solve all my problems, but it will create some financial stability," she said, according to the magazine.
Dylan was turned down by eBay, and shock-jock Howard Stern denied reports he has a hand in the stunt.
"Through this process I'm not just looking for the highest bidder," she said, Us magazine reported. "I'm looking for someone who is a genuine, overall nice person."
Dylan said she is willing to undergo a medical exam, and took a polygraph to prove she is a virgin. This market refers to sale which would take place on the Howard Stern Show. If the sale does not occur there or has nothing to do with Stern the market settles as no.
Settlement details:
As reported by a major mainstream news source.
Suspend date: Sun 12th Oct 12:59am PDT
Initial likelihoods: Yes: 25%

robbuerkle: when exactly will this be settled? atrane: Can settle with this? Looks like the Bunny Ranch is taking phone call bids - no mention of Howard Stern http://www.theimproper.com/Template_Article.aspx?IssueId=7&ArticleId=2530
