Christmas arrived early for whoever purchased the original painting that George Zimmerman was selling on eBay. Bidding closed on Saturday, with the highest bid going for $100,099.99. If you're disappointed that someone paid six figures to support a man who killed an unarmed teenager, just know that it's not the first time. This is America, after all. 

Zimmerman, who is reportedly $2.5 million in debt, could use the money. As for whoever spent the money on the painting (which could probably be purchased at IKEA for far less), if you want to burn $100,000, why not just put it in a barrel, ignite it and literally burn $100,000?
