Cashing in on the post election euphoria of Obama supporters, we are now being deluged with all kinds of Barack Obama-related commemorative crap. Top of the list is stuff from VictoryPlate.com, "commemorating the day the world changed -- forever!"
Here's the pitch: It features the president-elect with confident smile and kind eyes... Yes indeed... Kind eyes. Included with your plate is a bonus display stand and Certificate of Authenticity from the American Historic Society, which is actually a division of the National Consumer Marketing company.
A Google search show that this company is best known for being the subject of numerous complaints by unhappy customers. Anyway, if you want one, be warned, in the words of the Web site...Due to the unprecedented demand, there is a strict limit of 2 Victory plates per order. Better hurry.
