How long will this stay on EBAY
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3141998098

It's the official GW Bush ANG figure. Notice that the figure is away without leave, missing from the package!

Edited on Tue Aug-12-03 01:31 PM by Rabrrrrrr
I bet it won't last a day... though it has lasted 25 hours so far.


So hilarious!

"Why wait until the redesign of Mount Rushmore" indeed. Love it!

7. Oh BABY!
That's a Classic!

Comes with detailed uniform (as imagined by base commander), sealed discharge papers, Coors Light keg, and "licensed to chug" bumper sticker.

All he needs is a few chicken feathers and a rolled up sweat sock in the box to complete the package.

18. Gothic/bondage Barbie
Edited on Tue Aug-12-03 02:15 PM by Loonman
You ever hear about modifying a Barbie doll to be gothic or B&D?

Somebody with a lot of time on their hands could make some GeeDub dolls.

Fratboy Dubya

Skull & Bones Dubya(contains paddle and broken glass induction ceremony playset, can be combined with other Skull&Bones figures for World Domination playset)

Arbusto Dubya(with unsecured loan from daddy action playset)

Texas Baseball Dubya(comes with losing ballclub, disgusted fans and irate Texas taxpayers playset)

Happily Married Dubya(comes with ball-clamp and leash to be combined with Pickles Bush, Action Librarian figure)

21. I've actually seen a biker Barbie.
She was wearing pink leathers and had a kewl pink Harley-Davidson. I almost bought it for the conversation value.

With realistic scale replica of the idiot proof Segway personal transport vehicle that your GW action figure can prove it is idiot proof but not "total fucking idiot proof"?

28. Why wait until the redesign of Mount Rushmore?
Up to 33.00$ and over 2300 hits. At this rate the media should pick it up. And that, in itself may reignite the issue.

Great job!!!

You, ya you, those of you with imagination - more of this stuff!

37. The ANG figure is beating the official Elite Forces one by $12!
It's the only official on I could find on eBay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3142142078&category=1168

It's great to see cardboard box has more value than than a real "action" figure of Shrub!

40. I'm surprised it took this long to pull the ad
Ebay has already refused to carry the deck of cards with pictures of the Bush administration on them. This is fucking brilliant, by the way. I never saw the ad, but the idea made me bust out laughing at work.

41. Kickin' cuz I'm curious to know when it was pulled
After a multi-day blackout, and DSL down, then another power outage in apartment last night, haven't been on web since wednesday night...

When was this item pulled? How high was the bidding at?

Bastards. Far as I'm concerned, this was a legitimate and allowable ebay item. It was political art, and should not be censored, and I'll say it again, brilliant!
