DrSeussJudgeMagazinePanelThere may be hope for the world yet.

In a land (Los Angeles) where the utterance of this particular word recently and forever tarnished our memory of the actor who played Kramer, local auction house Nate D. Sanders has closed out Lot #272. From a report by CNN:

There were no bids as of 8 p.m. ET Thursday and the lot was closed for bidding. The drawing will be kept for a while, in case of a post-auction bid, according to auction manager Laura Yntema.
