I was watching early morning TV, getting ready to go to work, and one of the commercials run during "Saved by the Bell" was an ad for a "Commemorative Collectors Plate" showing a big picture of BHO, with an american flag behind him, fireworks and trimmed in 22K Gold. It is supposed to be authenticated by the American Plate Collectors Society (At least that's what i think they said) and because of the "huge response, only 2 per household" would be sold. By this time, I was starting to get nauseous and could barely remember the address and info where to send the payment to, but what striked me the most that during the entire commercial, only 1 "Family" unit was Black, with only 2 people, while the rest were white and with 2 or more kids, all smiling. The Black couple said "Our Generation has spoken and we're proud to have a new family heirloom to pass down to our children". I mean, it even comes with a free stand to place it on "your desk at work" or in your curio closet. Has anyone else seen this commercial and does it look as hokey to you as it does to me?

I’ve seen it. But it’s no worse than the NASCAR commemorative plates.

Look at it this way. If the Supreme Court rules the way they ought to, a commemorative plate might be in order.

Coming soon to a garage sale near you, the Barack Obama Commemorative Plate.

I don’t know what’s sadder, the fact that someone is producing this garbage, or that there are some foolish enough to buy it.

I’ll bet this is from the Franklin Mint. They usually tell you this is an “investment” that will pay you back many times over.

I believe they also have a Star Trek collector’s plate set as well. Original Trek, bet the Mr. Sulu plate has really increased in value

Oh, it's much more cultish than a mere plate would suggest- from my files:

One of the plates being offered:

Just when you thought the ObamaBots could never become kookier?

The Obama Bag
$375.00

And, remember these?

Question of the day:

Will they fit in a skeet launcher?

[Shady Ray]

Yeah, it actually says, “his confident eyes and kind eyes are an inspiration to us all.”

Don’t believe me? Here it is. And it is so very very cheesy, that it almost makes it worth it.

I cope through by imagining how great it would be if all of a sudden Kenya’s Favorite Son got the “no-go” slapped down from EZ Clarence T. and his Black Robe Crew. Those plates would become collectors items instantly.

Hey, maybe Clarence could get one of his own.

I’ve seen this scam and threatened to buy one for my wife to remind her who she voted for for the next 4 years.

I’ll wait till Billy Mays sells 10 of them for $19.95 and throws in a Magic Duster.

not sure what disturbs me more. the plate or the fact that you were watching ‘saved by the bell.’

The perfect white elephant gift!

[rhendley]

I know a terrific way of passing those plates along.

BTW, Saved by the Bell?? Really?

[Michael Barnes]

That’s some pretty expensive skeet.

[daku]

this plate immediately brought back a childhood memory

reminds me of a reoccurring joke that my brothers and I would snicker at around the dinner table

eat every carrot and pea (pee) on your plate
