If you’re wondering what kind of idiot buys the “Patriot Edition Bic Lighter” well, that’s me:
Of course, patriotism of the kind that Bic dispenses isn’t for everyone:
You’d think that a warning like “Keep Away From Children” would be on the Michael Jackson Edition Bic Lighter.
First!!!
The warning should say: “Keep away from children. And Cindy Sheehan.”
Perhaps BIC could market a Sheehan “flame of patriotism” lighter. One flick and it burns the flag right off the cover.
Or a Murtha “Don’t question my Patriotism” lighter. Sure it doesn’t work, but there are several pictures on the back of it working to prove it did once.
The question is could we convince the Dem’s to purchase the HAMAS “Commitment the Peace Process” model?
HA! You just got punk’d by the FRENCH! Bic is a FRENCH company, and they just figured they could put stars and stripes on a lighter and fool the Americans. Cadet Happy: Make us a surrender-monkey “white flag” version of the Bic Lighter, won’t you??

This move by BIC would be a perfect capitulation to the logic of Capitalistic Marketing(tm).
That’s one white flag I wouldn’t mind more companies waving.
You would think that the warning “Keep away from children” would be ON Michael Jackson, at least it SHOULD be…
