  1. a flag stuffed into a “hidden zipper”

.Not really where I expected the zipper to be…

  1. Alas, not the first stupid incarnation of “Trumpy”. See MST3K’s version of Pod People.

Counterpoint:

Fake news! It’s made in China! Er, wait…

Metaphorically if not actually. Possibly also literally, though.

Right?!?!? I saw the first low budget ads, before they made enough money to increase their production value. They would always be on very late at night / early morning. Probably on channels that show a lot of history documentaries (Nazis!).

I think they put that one in because of Abbie Hoffman

The first part of the video reminded me of Sturmlied - Wikipedia

the de facto anthem of the SA until it was gradually supplanted by the Horst-Wessel-Lied.

i have a copy of the flag code that came with a flag that predates Hoffman, so i don’t think it’s because of him. i think he did it to tweak the nose of the same type of people who swoon over this godawful bear, though. i know it’s said a lot these days, but seriously… trumpism is a CULT, or at least it’s brainwashing. it’s just staggering.

I honestly still can’t tell if they are marketing this to deplorables or as a satire that they expect people to buy just to mock and/or destroy.

I do suspect that the answer is both.

Wait, so this is not a parody?

After seeing the ad 50 times or so, I concluded it was not. The sellers may not be sincere, but they are seriously invested.
