Haha change.

They wanted change. They got change. WTF is the problem?

Wait. Are you trying to imply that celebrities who support and endorse people and products *might* just be farking retarded, have their own agendas, and be in it for the money?

How can this be? Rosie O'Donnel, Michael Moore, Tom Cruise, Montel Williams, and the rest of Hollywood are looking out for *YOU*! They only have your best interests in mind. These are good, honest folk who work *hard* for a living and would never bullshiat you for personal gain.

You mean to tell me items sold on tv for only 19.95 plus shipping are crap? Say it ain't so!

should have voted for McCain.

Why limit it to leftist people? Isn't Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, etc also "only have your best interests in mind". I mean "they are good, honest folk who work *hard* for a living and would never bullshiat you for personal gain."

As I get older, I learn life is 99 percent bullshiat.

Forget it; he's rolling. You're just wasting your breath.

a random list of celebrities is probably likely to include more "lefty" supporters, it's hardly worth worrying about keeping score.

They are dumbasses.

The niece actuality thought the US mint was making Obama coins, please.

*sigh* They're not US Mint coins, dumbass. The REAL US Mint issued an advisory about these over 2 months ago.

/I know 99% of those of us on here already know this--just venting at peoples' general stupidity.

Mordant: should have voted for McCain.

A McCain 50-cent piece would certainly be rarer.

How much did they cost? About tree fiddy.

This is why the hope is being sucked out of America. For every idealist out there with hope there's a pessimist out there angling to figure out how to scam them.

Oh, by all means, feel free to add dozens of douchebags to that list. O'Reilly, Coulter, Franken, Limbaugh, Spencer Hughes, Helen Thomas, the list is endless.

I only used lefties whackjobs because it's an Obama coin.

Wait, when did 50-cent get his own coin?

Mordant: should have voted for McCain.

Then it would be Pat Boone on TV selling pieces of eight with stickers on them.

Cog: They wanted change. They got change. WTF is the problem?

Clearly, they got the wrong change. :D

This is the first I've heard of these things, if they were expecting metal (of SOME kind, even arcade token quality) and got a sticker (and apparently a badly done one at that), I guess I can see how they'd be annoyed. Makes me wonder what the fine print said though.

I did see some ad for Obama commemorative plates (only because that's what was on when I was helping adjust our new TV antenna) and while those certainly looked cheesy (just like all the 9/11 plates, the porcelain baby dolls, and the rest of the cruft sold to that same "ooh, it's a collectible!!!" market) they DID at least appear to be functional plates of decent enough quality.

This is both sad and funny at the same time.

Still, even if it's obvious they wouldn't be legal tender, and that it's a coating, if it were a nicely DONE coating it might make a nice souvenir, if you're the sort that collects spoons from the 50 states and all that similar cruft. Seems here the stickers themselves are also just crappily done.

I have some art made from US money, quarters and such that have the part that's not the head and writing all carved out. They look pretty cool, just as charms. Got them in Japan though decades ago.

Bottom line is don't buy that stuff of TV, I suppose. In person at the state fair and similar venues you can see for yourself.

LOL! Suckers! Hopey McChange! LOL!

LOL


HaHa suckers


CHANGE

Montel lied to me? No way.

Let me tell you something about Montel Williams - - remember his show? Montel decided he didn't *need* an agent to work on syndication deals and the like. He negotiated his *own* contract after reviewing the papers by *himself*. No, --- don't need a lawyer or a fancy-pants accountant to handle negotiating, right?

That's why he's peddling Obama stickers-on-coins at 2AM nowadays.

Dumbass.

CHANGE we can deceive in.

They are not functional plates at all. My buddy got one from our office secret santa thing and we absolutely love it. We mock the commercial by looking at it and then nodding approvingly. But it clearly says on the plate not to eat food from it because of the paint or something.

Obvious tag on a holiday?

Fake coins cannot be used as currency because they are fake.

that's what it even freaking looked like on the commercials, what did they expect

/does not approve
/image hot, career lurk warm

Whoa! A commercial for that shiat is on TV as I type! Weird!

What does Obama think of this?

Much like Obama himself, a thin sticker of "change" barely covering the same tired coin of old socialist claptrap!

In the immortal words of David Letterman (back when he was funny): "Tonight's show is a re-run, so it's a perfect time to see what kind of cr*p they're selling on the Home Shopping Network."

You'll often stop what you're doing
to admire this commemorative plate.

Montel Williams 'involved' in scamming people? It's more likely than you think.

/Sylvia Brown never saw it coming.

Oh wait, there kinda is...

Most of that crap never goes up in value, especially that junk from the Franklin mint.

Even the state quarters that everyone was collecting, will never be worth more than face value because they made so many.
It was a stroke of genius though. Mint a few million in quarters that you know will never be spent, because you duped people into thinking they were going to be worth something.

These are the same people that are buying Acai Berry and Wuyi Tea products...

Ha Ha. Anybody who buys those coins deserves to be ripped off.

Really? Someone actually bought those? Really? It says right on the farking commercial what they are. FFS lrn2latenighttv. Same shiat with those 9/11 coins "Clad in .999 pure silver" lol suckers.

short changed on hope

A friend of mine bought a shiat load of Obama Plates and gifted them to a bunch of his republican friends as a joke.

Tony_Pepperoni: What does Obama think of this?

Actually, his people are irked that he's not getting a piece of the pie.

/Chaaaange?

Wait... and you paid money for this?
Bwahahahahaha...
Fool, money, soon parted and all that.

I'd say that people can't be this stupid, but, they are, and I've seen it over and over again.

Maybe it's not such a bad thing that the space program is in the toilet.
/Sigh.

Who says "50-cent pieces"?

They've always been half dollars to me.

Even if these were "real" coins, you'd still be an idiot for buying them at a premium.

If you buy into ridiculous hype don't be surprised when someone recognizes you as a mark and rips you off.

/a fool and his money, etc . . .
//and your Obama plates are only going to look more ridiculous and cheap-trinkety as time goes by

Things bought off off tv tend to be Sham(wows!)
//It can absorb up to 2 gallons of blood!

90supraT: Really? Someone actually bought those? Really? It says right on the farking commercial what they are. FFS lrn2latenighttv. Same shiat with those 9/11 coins "Clad in .999 pure silver" lol suckers.

Yeah but ya gotta love the ones with the WTC that pops up.
Worthless, but funny.
