Political Humor

“Merchandising, merchandising, where the real money from the movie is made. Spaceballs-the T-shirt, Spaceballs-the Coloring Book, Spaceballs-the Lunch box, Spaceballs-the Breakfast Cereal, Spaceballs-the Flame Thrower.”
-‘Spaceballs’

Obama-mania officially went nuclear this week, or as our former President liked to say ‘nu-cu-lar’ with the introduction of the Barack Obama Victory Plate.

Besides the fact that he peers at you through your peas and mashed potatoes while you eat, the commercial is over-the-top. A white family even smiles at the camera then Dad exclaims they ‘never thought this day would come‘.

What day is that, the one where their white guilt was purged or the one where merchandising finally went too far?

Has it gone far enough though? What else do the merchandisers have in store for us?

Obama Commemorative Ponytail

Barack doesn’t have a ponytail? No but he is the most liberal member of Congress and now he’s in charge of the entire country. His Vice-President is the third-most liberal! Nothing shows your support for a moonbat administration more then a ponytail. Comes in your choice of brunette or salt/pepper colors.

Obama Commemorative Coin

With all the talk of change and the inevitability that our taxes will shoot up, Americans will be forced to use more coins to pay for things like food and gas in the future. You will feel like the proud American you now are by using Obama coins to purchase goods and services.

Obama Commemorative Kleenex

The years of an extremely liberal Presidency will bring tears to everyone’s eyes, especially when they realize purses and wallets will become obsolete. Feel the comfort of Obama’s face wiping away the sadness.

Obama-mania has risen to such an insane level merchandisers are including images of Martin Luther King Jr. which is a no-no according to the head of the King Center:

“Some of this is probably putting food on people’s plates. We’re not trying to stop anybody from legitimately supporting themselves,” he said, “but we cannot allow our brand to be abused.”

Actually it is more like putting plates under people’s food. That’s merchandising for you.
