I am pleased to introduce The Official Guide To Obama Kitsch.
Kitsch is a word of Germanic origin which denotes something that is in poor taste, tacky, pretentious, cheap or trashy.
In order to qualify, the product must (1) feature the name or likeness of His Honor; (2) be a product that actually is for sale, not a mere photoshop or spoof; (3) not be vulgar in my sole judgment; (4) be really tacky, lacking in good taste, funny, or weird; (5) meet my subjective criteria which may change over time.
What makes this Guide “Official”? The same thing that made the The Official Guide to Blagojevich Blogs Official (Hint: The same thing that makes people think the Franklin Mint is related to the U.S. Mint, even though the commercial says it’s not.)
Since we are not trying to sell products, a link to a blog with a photo of the product is preferred. Please post suggested links as Comments, or e-mail me at contact/at/legalinsurrection/dot/com (if you can’t figure out what to change in the address, I’m not sure I want your input).
