Glinty-eyed imparter of Hollywood movie wisdom Morgan Freeman is seeking to raise funds to erect a monument to Martin Luther King, Jr. in Washington D.C. Celebrity pals Brad Pitt and Laurence Fishburne have each donated a motorcycle for a charity auction, while noted hog enthusiast Ben Affleck is selling two. From the auction website:

Ben Affleck is more than just a movie star and a leading man du jour in Hollywood, he is a walking, talking, breathing entertainment complex.

So add philanthropist to his long-list of descriptors, kick-up the cool in your life and bid on this 2001 2-cylinder, 4 stroke #3879 Big Dog Bulldog.

Ben has treasured this bike...so it has very low miles and is in great condition...from his home, to yours...

We'd hate to turn what is clearly a magnanimous and generous gesture from some of our most beloved "walking, talking, breathing entertainment complexes" into some sort of Davie-Brown Index contest, but as of post time, Brad Pitt's Ducati has a top bid of only $7500, whereas leading man du yesterday Affleck's Big Dog has the inconsistently higher number of $10,000. In both cases, however, the bids seem low. Surely these vehicles are worth more than their Blue Book prices, especially when you consider the priceless bragging rights value of telling friends you're riding the very motorcycle Affleck spent endless hours fiddling with in order to avoid the thought of having to make yet another evening of forced small talk with Jennifer Lopez.
