Off the top of my head I can think of 78,554 things you can spend your money on to "support the troops" than a thing made in an overseas factory that will make your neighbors justifiably want to fucking murder you. |

... what are you talking about, that lens flare is totally believable.
Heh, I didn't even notice the lens flare until you pointed it out. Ahaha. Yeah.
I don't know what you're talking about. That thing is classy.
I wonder, does the overly pleased child come with it, or is that sold separately?
I'm ordering two because I really support the troops!
HEY JR You might like this. There was a grocery store in my neighborhood that closed down about two days after the fourth of July last year. Right before it closed, though, they painted a pretty glorious eagle head on the display window. It's still there and my pals and I have taken to vandalizing it in tasteful ways. It started with just a tear drop and well... Here's the photo evidence. http://gnomeagain.livejournal.com/18262.html

This is wonderful in an altogether different and awful way:

oh. oh my.
the shower one is my favorite.
Do you think I could strap that into the back of my pickup truck to sit just above my truck ballz?
Oh god! I don't have one of those. I hate to think of all the troops coming home someday to see nothing but green grassy lawns completely devoid of inflatable crap!
what a coincidence... the first thing I saw today was the fourth of july aisle at the dollar store... it's full of ceramic eagle-with-flag busts. I may go back and buy a few, and add tears with a hot glue gun.
I'm actually kind of excited to see these around in yards. My slashin' knife is feelin' lonely.
I'm a soldier. Australian Army, but a soldier nonetheless.
If I saw one of these with my country's flag on it, I would seriously consider destroying the house with it outside.
If the American Army is anything like ours, the troops wouldn't actually want to be supported if the support came as thickly coated in cheese as this.
I bet the photoshopping was necessary since they couldn't find anybody who was willing to put this on their lawn long enough to be photographed. Man, do they really think they're fooling anybody with that lens flare?
I think the only way that could be any classier is if they could some how incorporate those waving inflatable tube guys into the design.
I am so terrified to scroll down my friend's list, as the kid looks exactly like my tacky friend who might do something like this, bless her heart. >.
I do believe "fucking murder" was added to the homeowner's association's list of approved sanctions for precisely this reason.
My husband would disembowel me if he came home from Iraq and found one of those on our lawn. | |
