This is just wrong on so many levels.


I don't even know where to start. That makes me want to drown myself in the sink.

I am going to order one for David Fryer.


Put it on a shelf for 20 years and it might be worth something to a political novelty collector. Kinda like 'Billy Beer'

Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia!


didn't the makers of chia pets actually consider this, before backing away? [facepalm]

Well did all of you see the commercials that were all over cable for the "Obama commemorative plates"? They had the election results on them, but they couldn't include Missouri and North Carolina in the tally because they were in such a rush to start issuing these plates that they couldn't wait for the results from those states.

That said, I think I actually have less respect for the people that buy this crap than the people who make it. Hell, if people will fork over money for an Obama chia, who can blame someone for meeting that demand?


Moff, you have no idea the can of worms you have just opened. ;)

I was thinking about ordering one for my dad.


They're just following up from their Chia Lennin.


Speaking of election memorabilia: I work at Workman publishing, which does stuff like Brain Quest, What to Expect When You're Expecting and the Fandex series of study aid/curiosity/license products. Every four years, there's a new Presidents fandex because they have to be updated after the election. So we had to make two cards ready for the printers: one with Obama on the cover and one with McCain on the cover. My initial thought was McCain would get shoved in the back (another white guy for president, not as historically significant), but I still mocked one up with him on the cover.

So there's a very mild alternate-reality Fandex in the studio with John McCain's face on it. I just need to find someone that fell into a coma before the election so I can present them with it to welcome them into the world they missed out on.

Dammit, I was going to do that. Maybe Cheney would like one...

Conspiracy theory #22 - I heard that Hillary is a secret partner in this. Way to make money off the repubs. That lady sure knows how to sniff out a buck.

I'll see your vaguely insulting chia, and raise you a Clintons Holiday Gift Set.


Ah, chiapets. So easy to make jokes...

I'm not making money off that one either.
