Why does the Al Sharpton one look like he came out of "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids" cartoon?

I dont think the George Bush one is very good - Doesnt look too Realistic. Also, if I win I hope I dont get some obscure American person who no one else but Americans know of! Like John Ashcroft

Um... they're caricatures-- they're not supposed to be realistic.

You are supposed to be able to recognise who they are, otherwise how can it be funny - since you dont who who it is imitating? If it didnt say George Bush I wouldnt know who it was. You think I am too stupid to recognise these "might" just be caricatures

Well, let's be sure we keep positive.

Pinheads, Inc. is nice enough to run this contest exclusively for our members, and send out their merchandise for free.

Also, in the list, it should say Kim Jong II.

*edit: Please don't post images

Sorry Mike. I just love those old Arnie pics

Wouldn't these make hysterical gift baskets? Yasser Arafat voodoo doll complete with his own name-brand cheese puffs and miniature nobel peace prize. Dr.  Laura  Schlessinger doll with chastity belt and copy of The Rules. Babs Streisand basket complete with Christmas record and tickets to numerous B movies. The possibilities are endless!

I am now not sure what to get, it would either be Rush Limbaugh or Ralph Nader.

Should unmercifully torture rushy.. or save ralphie...

Monty

Haha!

Or, a George Bush complete with crack rock set and 40 ounce.

Heh... maybe you should tell that to the White House, CNN, and the BBC.

Mike

Whoops, I am stupid

Now this oughta be fun.

Bill O'Reilly doll vs. Al Franken doll, who will be the victor??

Don't jump to conclusions, Franken has on serious tackle ("like a Patriots fullback" I believe... )

But if they're going to let Castro in, let's have a Chirac doll, complete with his own little headscarf

If you win, I think you get the doll of your choice - so you can pick someone they've even heard of in England.


Also, if any non-US residents want to participate (and don't have a convenient uncle), I will volunteer my address and phone number should you win and forward the doll to you at my expense. It won't be overnight express - but you'll still be able to take part and claim your prize. Just be sure to tell all your American friends how fabulous the dolls are so we can still drive some business toward Pinhead's.

I want the Bill O'Reilly doll...does it come with anything other than pins? Nevermind. I have steaknives and stuff already so I'm prepared.

I wonder if the winner is interested in sending us funny pictures of voodoo doll antics?

I fervently wish for a copy of photoshop.

This is by the way a serious suggestion. Fellow members could showcase the humor that is so evident in the chats. (Well, okay maybe not that humor )

...just got my Kerry doll today.

Mike

Which doll did Jenreiautter pick?

Inquiring minds want to know...

Well, Amlord, it was a tough decision. There are a lot of great dolls available.

After some thought I decided that I wanted a doll that I could use for many years to come, so I picked the "Republican Elephant".

I have not used the doll yet, I need to look into voodoo spells that won't give me a karmic bite in the butt.

I've got my John Kerry doll in the package still. I'm trying to suffocate him, or at least shut him up for a while.

Did anyone else buy one?

Mike

Probably no one cares, but I chose the Supreme Court doll, not to purchase of course, but as a principle. Not the usual selection, and probably not for the typical reasons. I tend to look for the esoteric indicators of one's flawed paradigms. Call me crazy but I don't think that the Democrats are blocking Bush's judgeship confirmations, unless their only reason is to prop up Roe v. Wade (there is a lot of this going on). It is their job to confirm judges, and it is also their job to look into the motivations/paradigms of those candidates. Futhermore, for consistency (with the Constitution) reasons no one wouldn't fault the president for not sending nominations, why fault the congress for not confirming the ones that are sent?

More specifically, I would have chosen voodoo Antonin Scalia. He was heard to say (paraphrased) at a religious gathering (more than a year ago) That if people of religion (guess which one he is referring to) wants to have more religious language and symbolism included in government affairs, they need to have the Congress pass more laws to that effect. This is not a 'caricature', I believe this is the actual jist of what he was saying, although the parenthesis are mine.

Now the question is, is Antonin Scalia retarded? Here is a perfect example of why a judges background and views need to be scrutinized. A rhetorical question, but would any of the employers out there hire a person who didn't know/didn't accept the job description itself? Has Antonin Scalia READ the first Amendment? Do you even need to read it, or do you hear about it all the time? To me, it doesn't matter if he said it outside of his Court functions. This would just indicate he loathes his own job (yet another criteria for rejection) to this very important position.

Why don't they just put out a classified ad in the newspaper for the 'position of Supreme Court Justice'? I'll apply for it. Think about it: job security, you get more respect (including the undue), you can immortalize yourself by writing your name into history.........

QuantumMekanic, this isn't a debate. The topic is for discussing the dolls.

Since you didn't purchase one, "of course," I wonder why you chose to post a lengthy opinion piece in a topic that is not about opinion.
