Fire George Bush t-shirt -- price reduced

In light of a recent post advertising an action figure of Benedict Bush in his aviator outfit, I decided to lower the price for two of the t-shirts at my CafePress shops.

http://www.cafepress.com/firegeorgebush
http://www.cafepress.com/outsourcebush2

Now you can get a Fire George Bush t-shirt for only $9.95 before shipping! I also lowered the price for my single-sided Outsource Benedict Bush t-shirt to $9.95 before shipping! (I listed both as $10.50 before.) You can also find coffee mugs, hats, and best of all, buttons. (A button can be had for $1.95 + $1 shipping, I think). If you hate Bush and the damage he's doing to our nation's economy as much as I do, then it's a great value, especially the buttons.

Also, I'm offering the same design as the Fire Bush shirts, but with a different F-word...just change the f-word in the URL for the FireGeorgeBush shop to find it.

Anyway, I hope this puts a smile on the faces of some of the people who were offended by the aviator photo post (and perhaps some victims of the Bushcession).

Fire George Bush t-shirt:

Fire George Bush
America's worst President
Lots of excuses
Massive job losses

(The other f-word shirt says the same thing, but with a, uhm...different f-word <g>. In fact, I'll go change the price on that one too.)

1. This is spam, so BAN
2. This is political, so WRONG forum.

I'm calling for a LOCK, at least.

Why is this not legitimate? I did reduce the prices for these items, placing them on sale. A Fire George Bush button for under $3 shipped is very hot to some people. To some people the shirts would be a great deal at double the price, and they'll make great gifts for friends bummed out about the outcome of the election. The post also has entertainment value for the huge amount of people who despise George Bush, the President presiding over the nation's transformation into a third world country. Why not call for a ban and for a lock of the aviator photo thread, too, or do you just go against people who hate George Bush?

(I voted for Bush in 2000, by the way, thinking he'd be good for the U.S. economy. I had no idea he was really a traitor who loved foreign outsourcing and H-1B and L-1 visas, which inflict the horrors of the poverty caused by socialism and communism abroad on the American people. I hope I've made some amends since then.)

I've seen lots of non-computer items posted here. I don't see why the fact that I receive a miniscule commission for each sale makes my post illegitimate. After all, these are real items that you can purchase and I did in fact lower the prices, placing them on sale, and to many people they might be a very hot deals indeed, especially the buttons. In order for something to not be spam, does it have to point out a sale on an item you specifically would want to purchase? Also, this was a response to the aviator photo thread. If I were really a spammer, I would have posted long ago and multiple times.

Who said anything about it not being legitimate? However, this is advertising for your website which makes you a candidate for banning.

If you can think of something catchy that involves Bush's mismanagement of the U.S. economy, I'm open to suggestions.

I know a good way to get this locked. The only reason Bush's economy was bad was because he inherited the mismanaged bubbl-economy created by Clinton's administration. Bush should reinstate the draft, I'm just reaching draftable age.

It isn't a real business. My post was really for amusement purposes in response to a "legitimate" post telling people about a George Bush action figure for kids <gag>. I don't see why it's spam any more than a post about Target's selling a book called Marijuana. Are you suggesting that if I had just mentioned that the prices had been lowered and that this guy has amusing prints without identifying it as my hobby shop that it wouldn't be as bad?

Regardless, this is still just a neff thread. Should be locked, but beyond that is up to the mods. The last thing these forums need though is more neffing.

It isn't a real business, just a hobby shop for my own amusement. My post was really for amusement purposes in response to a "legitimate" post telling people about a George Bush action figure. I don't see why it's spam any more than a post about Target's selling a book called Marijuana. People submit posts that mention sales of items that are really intended for amusement purposes all the time. "Alpacas, buy one, get one free", Marijuana on sale at Target, etc. My thread is NO different, except that my own work is the subject of the amusement. It's not like I'm putting up posts about cheap prescription drugs, male genital enlarement pills, or OEM software direct from China, etc. I hope our moderators will have the good sense needed to be able to distinguish between real spam and a post intended as amusement (in response o someone else's thread selling a political item) that helps break the monotony of warm deal threads sprinkled with an occassional hot deal.

Are you suggesting that if I had posted in the third person, that if I had just mentioned that the prices had been lowered and that this guy has amusing prints without identifying it as my hobby shop that it wouldn't be as bad?

Anyway, I hope we can get some comments about the merits of the prints and get back to the subject of the thread.

The point is, you own the store, therefore this is nothing more than an advertisement. I won't comment on the political value of the content, but it IS undeniably politicial, and I believe a precendend has been set here, as to political 'deals' -- further, comedy usally goes in OT, except in special cases, but my first two points override that anyhow this thread should be locked in any forum because it is an Advertisement

The election is over, but the worst president in American history is still in office. Given that, I don't see any reason why people might not want items that express condemnation of the current president. Political debate and expression don't end after an election. It's quite conceivable that people might want to make a statement that they don't want to give any kind of moral sanction to the current president. Many people are quite disgusted and bummed out about the whole thing.

You really think this is worthy of a ban? You don't recognize that it was intended for amusement purposes in response to some guy's advertising a Bush aviator children's toy?

Why is it sad to criticize the President while the military is at war? Are you suggesting that the President deserves a free pass from criticism simply because he sends the military off to battle? Should Republicans who criticized Clinton have relocated to a religious theocracy like Iran? Criticizing our politicians and questioning what they do is 100% American; this isn't Soviet Russia.

Thank you. Well said. I don't see a problem with the post. If, in fact, prices have been lowered, this is a hot deal, and there is no problem with the post. This would be a deal to some. (Like 49% of the republic)

How about you just move out of the country. Even if you dont agree with him you should still support his actions since he is running our country. Your just like the damn immigrants who come here hate our country and people, yet you still refuse to leave!

There are/have been a lot of rulers worse than BUSH, so get over it.


PS: as mention before the national debt will not just occur over 4 years, it takes approx two terms for it to take a noticable difference. Whom was in office? oh yea it was the married guy getting head from interns.

First, you are selling your own stuff here. That makes it an advertisement for your own product. Read the rules and get a clue. There are places for this, and Hot Deals is not one of them. Second, it's not even humorous or computer related... simply political. *yawn* There are places for this as well, and Hot Deals is not one of them. Third, I am no fanatical Bush supporter, but I still find it ironic that you are talking about how much you hate him... yet without him you would not have this little site to sell your crap to people who hate him as much as you do. Sadly, you should be grateful to Bush for screwing up enough to create a huge market to peddle your 'goods'. I am sure it will "put a smile on the victims of the Bushcession" as you put it, that you are benefiting from their misfortune. :disgust:

Now please lock this thread and get rid of this spammer. :frown::thumbsdown:

Regardless of your political bias, the original post is an ad for the poster and should be locked. It doesn't help that you respond to every post with political troll-fodder.

Except it's different in that you stand to benefit from this post, whether you say it's the reason or not.
