Yes we can....sell you some shit

One of the more horrible realizations of the election of our new overlord Obama is the sheer amount of crap that is going to be attempted to get sold to us on some loose Obama/changey/hopey/us against the world pretense. Multi-national mega-corporations and you, changing the world through your continued payment of money for their goods and services. At least Starbucks is shoehorning in some community service pledge to go with their co-opt.

We have replaced the gung-ho, America fuck yeah, flag eating bullshit in commercials, but we have replaced it with this. Did we really win? I say no. And if John Mellencamp comes out with some hope based songs to sell me a Chevy, I'm climbing a clock tower with a Mannlicher-Carcano.
