On March 11, Vice.com published a story by Edward Ongweso, Jr. titled “Someone Sold a $1 Million Clipart Rock NFT for Under a Penny by Mistake.” For safety, put down your beverage before reading this short article, but you simply must read it. You might think that the title says it all, but you would be wrong.
In less than 500 words Mr. Ongweso stacks so many layers of absurdity that this could the quintessential dense, sweet baklava of ultimate irony in our times. And no one, however demented, could possibly have made this up.
