Dude, has anyone else seen the ridiculous commercials for the September 11th Commemorative $20? Holy shit who the fuck would buy that? What the fuck is wrong with people? I actually got sick to my stomach at the point where they show the "mirrored background" because for sure I thought they were going to show actual 9/11 footage to help them sell. ( Read more... )

wtf

You know, it's times like this that I'm glad I don't watch TV. Because if I did, I'd be even more of a misanthrope than I already am.

Haha I liked that you made fun of Ohio, Ohio sucks:) Go Michigan!

Kidding aside, this is pretty sick. Pretty soon they'll be selling the rubble.

omg
The other day I was so bent over this that I finally googled 'Republic of Liberia' to find out where this thing was being made and what kind of 'currency' it is.

Read this shit

"The Liberia dollar currently trades against the US dollar at a ratio of 57:1."

Do you know what that makes your "silver leaf" $20 piece of crap worth?

What a effing scam that is.

Oh I was gonna mention that in the post, the first time I caught the commercial it was past the Liberia part, but I caught it the second time around. Yet people will still buy it, I'm sure. SILVER LEAF! 9/11! HEROES!!! DIED!!!

Get a brain, morans!

my favorite part is where they explain to you how 9+11=20

WOW!!!1!

What pisses me off is the scam aspect of it. Its basicallly worthless.

Yeah, I'm from Ohio.

I think people that buy these totally fucking deserve to get scammed.

I know you're from Ohio, that's why I put the disclaimer up. I was too lazy to think of any other states that have stupid people in them. Like, you know, all of them.

The first time I saw the commercial I was running on the treadmill at the gym. I almost fell off. I'm sure that the people around me must have been amused at the strange faces that I was making at the TV.
