I'll take "How much longer until that asshat GWB leaves office?" for $600, Alex.
If you can't respect and honour the young folks who make up the majority of your fighting military and put their lives on the line for you, then who are you as a human being? I don't care what your views of war are, nor do mine figure into this, but other than the usual few bad apples, and of course their civilian leaders, you just don't shit on your protectors, they who are willing to put their lives on the line for yours. I know that stories of their medical facilities have been in the news, too - I'm not ignoring that or other discouraging military stories, I'm just pointing out this particular story as just one example of the US military's betrayal of those brave young folks who thought they were doing the right thing.
I was doing some noontime CNN.com reading and came across this story. Maybe there's more to it than I'm seeing, since, as I said, I am not American, and therefore not up on all the news to do with this subject, but the last lines of this story (GWB's negative response to the subject) made me sick, for way too many reasons to list.
]]>Okay, so I'm sitting here minding my own business, with the television on in the background (bad habit, I know), and suddenly I hear a woman's voice extoling the virtues of Super Colon Cleanse. Well, that sure caught my attention. I always thought that was the kind of commercial that aired l ate at night or on local cable channels on Sundays.
Anyway, hearing this commercial got me to thinking about a few other fine products whose names have stuck with me over the years.
The drug store in the building where I used to work was a good source of odd products. At one point, I remember them doing a bit of renovating in the store and it seemed that they were using the opportunity to clear out their storage room and put a bunch of items on sale. On one visit, I almost had a fit when, within about thirty seconds, I saw not only a bag of Bowel Buddy bran wafers, but a tube of something that goes by the attention-grabbing name of Crack Creme. I was too scared to even check out what exactly it was supposed to cure. I was tempted to go on some kind of April Fool's Day shopping spree.
Aside from these, one of my favourite product mentions is for the Baby Jesus Butt Plug. This site is so utterly fantastic, I can't even put it into words - all I know is that if you believe in Hell, you're already sending me there in your mind..
Something new I just discovered as I was putting this post together absolutely cannot go without mention. In the spirit of the Baby Jesus Butt Plug, I now present to you George W. Tush, available in regular or Assquake versions. And oh baby, for the hard-to-buy-for person on your shopping list (bookmark this for Christmas!), you can - get this! - have a custom butt plug made in the image of your boss, best friend, or worst enemy. This fucking ROCKS! Can you imagine the looks on people's faces as they open their presents? Wow!
IndyBunny posted a link to poop soap in the comments debating the nature of Crankypants's bathroom guest soaps. They're individually made by hand, Voxies! But don't worry, they smell like coffee - uh huh. And you'd better hurry - if you order by January 21st, you can get some hot, steaming free piles o' poop with your order. If you've ever wondered why you could never get your hands on some free shit in this world, well wonder no more - you have found free shit heaven!
Hmmm, this was rather fun - I think I'll do
another odd products post again some time - I'm rather an odd product
myself, so it's only fitting!
edit: corrected the poop soap credit so it shows Indy now - apologies to Little Miao for associating her with poo... ;-)
