Petition urging Jeff Bezos to buy and eat the Mona Lisa gains steam
"Nobody has eaten the mona lisa and we feel jeff bezos needs to take a stand and make this happen," the joke petition that went up a year ago on Change.org and gained hundreds of signers Thursday reads.
"gobble da lisa," one signer wrote while another joked, "I feel like this is something society needs… Jeff, we need you to make this sacrifice for society."
Bezos, who is one of the richest men in the world and became the first man to top $200 billion in net worth this year, seems to have no immediate plans to ingest art but is planning an 11-minute trip to space on his company Blue Origin’s first crewed flight scheduled for July 20.

The highest bid to join Bezos on the short fight is $2.8 million, according to CNBC. The bidding reportedly ended Thursday.
