‘Commemorative Obama coins’ not as advertised.

Savor the unsubtle nature of this one, o my droogies.

Originally brought to my attention by Patterico. Better video here.

The celebrity-endorsed item is actually an ordinary, every-day existing coin that has simply been covered with the cheapest – and frankly, the cheesiest – of materials and sold to the unsuspecting populace at a truly astounding markup. And getting a refund is next to impossible.

Do I really need to hammer this one into the ground, or can I assume that everybody has gotten the point?

Surely no Democrat would think to rip off Obama voters.

…applauds their ingenuity. I’ve oftentimes wondered myself how to make a buck off his supporters. I wish I had thought of this.

reminds me of the premise of $19.95 Lincoln Portraits -- "a Penny"

anyone else remember that from the 1997 Movie: Trial and Error … lol … in that movie the “client” is someone that advertises “Lincoln Portraits” for like $19.95 and then sends those he suckers back a “Penny” (indeed, a wonderful engraved “Portrait” of Lincoln)
