Marlon Brando On Motorcycle Photo To Fetch $20 Million

Marlon Brando By Warhol
These are incredible amounts of money. Amounts that are in the stratosphere, beyond comprehension. We're talking about a silkscreen photo of actor Marlon Brando sitting on a motorcycle for the movie The Wild One. This photo is going up for auction in November at Christie's, and is expected to fetch $20 MILLION. $20,000,000??? For a photo that has been reproduced a million times....

Fine, the photo was made by Andy Warhol, and the photo is of Marlon Brando, and yes, there's a motorcycle involved. But still... that is a lot of money for a photo that you can download from the internet and print out for free.

Video: No Hands Needed

Total squid, but not the kind we're used to seeing. Here's a guy who obviously thinks that riding a motorcycle requires no hands, and sitting on a motorcycle like most sensible riders is for pussies. He prefers sitting on the bike the "amazon" way.

It is pretty amazing though when you watch the video. He just sits astride on the motorcycle, not holding the handlebars, while gesturing at the car making the video. Amazing, but crazy...

I know they have a lot of people in China, with more bodies than what they know what to do with, but calling this a "police patrol" is even too much for China.

In my humble experience a police patrol on motorcycle is a maximum of 2 guys... this is a parade.
