A Commemorative What?!
Join me if you think the whole Obama-rama-ding-dong has gone too far. We’ve had our commemorative plates, our supremely tacky commemorative coins, votive candles and wall-hangings (in tasteful black velvet). 
But a commemorative … help me here … sex toy?
“You love your candidate. Let him love you back!” wafts the poetic headline for Head O State, “The official Obama pleasure toy.” Has the Office of the President Elect been licensing this stuff?
The ad comes complete with false endorsements from Republican stars, including Sarah Palin. Remember what she used to say about oil, what the crowd used to chant back to her? Yeah, that’s her endorsement.
Note that this is a “commemorative edition.” Presumably the standard, non-commemorative Obama sex toy will follow. And if you just can’t get enough Cha-Ching! We Can Believe In, there’s the special free shipping with orders of three or more option.
I have to hat-tip Sarah Hepola at Salon for this item, but I don’t have to share her assessment of it … at least the portions of her assessment I can publish in what up until now was a family friendly blog:
It’s a measure of the richness of our great nation that we can memorialize the election of our 44th president in such a multiplicity of ways: For some, there is the Historic Victory plate (touting “his confident smile and kind eyes”); for others, there is a waterproof dildo that brags, “Make this an election erection to remember!”
Richness? Not the word I’d use.
