    So Barack Obama memorabilia is going to singlehandedly save the economy?

    OMG, it makes everything taste like hope! Delicious, delicious hope.


    Seriously, I'm betting that Michelle is ordering one of these right now to tease her husband as an inside joke.

    That happy family toasting their plate immediately brings to mind the opening moments of 'Putney Swope':

    Wake me when Franklin Mint is selling the "What Would Barry Do?" sterling silver charm bracelet in a clear lucite box with stenciled family portrait (complete with the new family dog) on the top.

    Omigod. I've been spending the last two weeks laughing like crazy at the Obama coin commercial that runs on cable news every half hour, but this is so much better. Can you imagine the apoplectic fits that "Real Americans" must be going into every time they see these things? Schadenfreudilicious!

    @KristaJulieva: See that's the thing--who the hell is buying this? I would imagine the customer base for commemorative presidential plates is your average every day conservative republican. Seems like the marketers would do a heck of a lot better if they all switched to selling the blue Obama dildos.

    But can you really eat off them? I would assume the lead content in the paints they use would cause massive brain damage.

    When I saw this oddly seductive ad this weekend on TV, as I was channel hopping, I decided that I was in a time warp, but I couldn't decide if it was a time warp to the future or a time warp to the past.

    I like how the "firing date" is printed in Courier font as to imply that, apart from the other text on the back of the plate, that was somehow printed by a special separate date-printer.
