Web: Ski trip gift idea

Just in time for Spring Break, and still available on ebay: The David Koresh Snowboard, complete with a signature that says "Yahweh Koresh."

Did this really belong to Koresh, the aspiring rock guitarist who became the charismatic leader of the Branch Davidian sect and then died in a conflagration along with most of his congregation in Waco in 1993? Doesn't say.

The board's artwork features Koresh "relaxing with a beer in one hand and a remote control in the other."

Starting bid at $500. No other bids so far.

I didn't even know he was a snowboarder. But I knew he was Xtreme.

I am a Branch Davidian that actually lives at Mt Carmel where Koresh and others were slaughtered. When a people going to stop exploiting what happened here at the expense of the truth and the lives that were lost? I knew Koresh but did not believe in his claims and teachings. I never heard anyone that knew Koresh, even his mother say anything about him doing any snow boarding. This is just a ploy to sell an xtreme board used in an xtreme sport because it sports the picture of an xtreme sport!
