(Newser) – A pair of Michael Jackson’s Calvin Klein briefs, which were confiscated as evidence during his child-molestation case, is on sale for at least $1 million, reports the New York Post. The unwashed size-28 tighty whities will go up for bid on eBay tomorrow, now that a businessman who obtained them in a bankruptcy case has decided he can live without them.
