El Colmo


I have pointed out the various marketing ideas to make money off of Obama: sneakers, fingernail stickers, cookies... but just now in my email box I got an offer to buy this item. This is the height of insanity:

President-elect-Obama-3.jpg


Yes, It's a soap mold of Obama's face. Now, I like to make handmade soaps for my family, and I use pretty molds and beautifully scented oils. But I cannot see who I could make a bar of Obama soap for who wouldn't throw it at my head. But folks,for just $24.85 you can make all the Obama bars of soap you want, to slather all over your hands, face and body. And then after that you would need another shower.


Please, I beg of you, make it stop!!

A question- what scent would be appropriate for a bar of Obama soap?

Bullshit scent, I think.

George, I don't know if they make essential oils in bullshit scent.

How about the smell of higher taxes?

I believe the fragrance is referred to as Pest'e de t'mon de gua-gua.

I think it's French.

How about the smell of our U.S. Constitution burning?

Guácala!!!
Peste a... "mono cuqueao", "maletin de comadrona" or... camello M-3 in route to Alamar, 12 del dia, any day of August?

What about the proper use?
For all those cubanitas out there... next to the little bucket under the bathroom sink for the morning's routine? Nahh! Our cuerpecitos deserve better, I think.

Jeez, there are people out there that really, really, no tienen nada que hacer.

This is capitalism at its most vulgar. Literally, anything for a buck.
