Pregnant woman sued over advertising space on her belly.

Capitalism marches on...

A pregnant woman in Roswell, Ga., is being sued over advertising space on her stomach...

Elisa Harp, of Rosewell, Ga., offered ad space on her stomach this month on the eBay auction Web site.

Although SunPoker.com placed the highest bid to put their name on Harp's stomach, she chose to offer her stomach to another online casino because they offered her a spokewoman job...

"The highest bidder at first was SunPoker.com but I decided after the auction ended not to go with them and decided to go with The Golden Palace Casino," Harp said.

Harp, who is due to give birth next month, faces a lawsuit by SunPoker.com for violating eBay rules [that say] once bidding ends a product must go to the highest bidder...
