Lord Bless This Defender of Freedom Figurine

No matter where his mission takes him, he'll never be beyond the reach of God's protection. As the brave members of the U.S. military head out to defend our freedom, it's comforting to know that each one is sheltered in the loving hands of God. Keep this radiant tribute near as a brilliant reminder of all those who proudly serve our country. Meticulously crafted by hand, this limited-edition Hamilton Collection collectible figurine is filled with authentic details. Please hurry to order now.

And I thought it was a satire...

Word Sebastian, I was scrolling down looking for the www.somethingawful.com logo at the bottom.

Foust is SO authentic

Would it be wrong to give them my money? My over-developed sense of irony demands that I own that figurine.

That makes my skin crawl. It is something awful, all by itself.

And it's awful that people will buy this sort of crap, and even more awful that there are folks making profit with this sort of crap. Anybody up for a letterbomb campaign?

Ahem. I meant to say, "It's awful that people will buy this sort of crap and take it seriously."

And, mind you, I'm not advocating violence against The Hamilton Collection folks, just scads of letters complaining about the icky smarmy profiteering merchandise that doesn't do the troops any good atall.

And I'm not implying any sort of denial of service attacks, either.

Big deal, there's tons of these things at any local Hallmark. They got cop pones, and firemen ones, and soldiers and sailor ones from just about every war.

I'd like to see one with the hands removed and in their place put an open body bag. Underneath write: War kills cute things too.

The scene in 'Three Kings' where 'Mahky Mahk' has oil poured down his throat would have been a better choice of form.

"Lord, protect this cute, cuddly, adorable, little defender of freedom from being hit in the back by friendly fire while he empties his assault rifle into a carload of Iraqui women and children, and keep him safe in your hands, not those filthy terrorist towelhead bastards"

Urgh, i feel sick...

Pay tribute to our nation's heroes - order now! Huh? This has got to be a joke. I can't believe it's sincere.

I really cannot take this seriously. That picture looks so fake! And what about this one...?
