Plates, stamps and yes, chia. Seriously, how much is too much?

LMAO How stupid and what will they think of next. The vendors are trying anything to make a buck off of the new president.

LOL! I wonder how well that will sell? Hey, you can't blame folks for trying to make a buck off of him any way they can....especially with the economy being in such bad shape. Wish I had thought of that one.....

I always thought the whole Chia thing was a bit tacky myself. After working in a dollar store, I realized tacky does sell so I imagine there will be a market for it.

I'm a dollar store shopper and Big Lots too, myself. When I was working people would come in near closing time to buy the most ridiculous things. Toilet paper and milk I could understand, but plastic figurines???

Ha! I think it's as funny as heck!
Bout time they came out with something more entertaining than commemorative plates and coins.

I suspect we'll be seeing Obama beach towels next. Unless they've already done that.

That has to be the dumbest thing I have ever seen! I don't get it we are not suppose to judge his and say he is the first black president we are just suppose to say he is the best choice for president. But, now all we do is talk about how the new 1st Black president is going to change history by doing everything perfect!!! Come on a cha pet! So, why did they not do all the presidents that way? So, did we really pick him because he is the best choice or because he is BLACK?

All I can do is shake my head over it all. I did hear something about Michelle being upset over dolls made in the images of the daughters. I don't blame her a bit and I'd feel the same way. The Chia thing is way too much.
