OMG...the Sarah-Palinization of America continues...introducing the BUMP IT!
Have you seen the ad running on the cable news shows -- "Flat hair is SO last year...you need BUMP ITS!" A plastic bridge tucked in a woman's hair to make it big, just like Sarah's! They never mention Palin, of course, but they do show picture after picture of Palin look-alikes with their big new hair.

For an extra level of amusement...they're sold by a company called "Bighappiehair.com" (Notice the spelling of "happie." More legendary Republican misspellings, or was the name "bighappyhair.com" actually taken already?

So whip out your credit card...this is one little 59¢ piece of plastic that's worth every penny of your $19.95 (plus the 29% interest on your charge purchase).

God bless America. Home of the formerly free, land of the stupid.

4. That isn't hair or a "Bump It". It's water on the brain.

7. $19.95 is the trigger price
for TV shopping. But Wait...There's More! You can sell anything for $19.95, it seems. Right now, there's another ad for these little plastic clips that pull women's bra straps in, so they hide under some clothing. You get three of these for JUST $19.95. Of course, if you order today, you get...COUNT 'EM...six more, for a total of NINE clips. They should be 25 cents apiece, of course, but anything under $20 is a sure seller.

16. Another "Call before we run out..." -- Obama 'gold' coins.
We print a cheap-ass picture of Obama on top of a real dollar coin, which we've "layered" in real 24k gold.

Limited to 75 production days, so ACT NOW!

So, how many of these pieces of crap do you think a factory can churn out in a day? X75? These are about as rare and collectible as a case of herpes.

9. Palin is the very sort of "Hair-Hopper" we were warned about in the John Waters film "Hairspray!"
:rofl:

15. Not as gross as the original way to get that big hair bump!
My sisters used to tease their hair into a tangle that they hid under the top layer of hair to make it look big. And for those with thinner hair, they would save the hair out of their brushed to make their hair bumps. Totally gross and made the spider nest bouffant hair story seem believable: http://www.snopes.com/horrors/vanities/hairdo.asp

18. I guess everyone's forgotten how to "rat" their hair. .
Standard skill back in the 50's and early 60's. . .

19. If you act fast you get not one, but two,
bumpits at the same price plus shipping. Credit card users have priority.

Gaud, no wonder this country is in such bad shape.
