    Now I can't get that hideous "Lady Madonna" song out of my head. Yuck. Stupid name. Wouldn't buy it.

    Makes you wonder what they would have gone with if McCain had won. I suspect it would have been some kind of frost.

    Two things:


    The 1980's graphics are extremely off-putting.


    Why not just call it Michelle? Lady Obama sounds weird.


    This also reminds me of the 6 tubes of lipstick for $4.99 from Woolworths that were popular gifts from grandmas twenty years ago. They always smelled like paste, took off lip-skin when applied, and were slightly toxic.

    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.

    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.
