Unusual Christmas tree decoration: "Unborn Baby Ornament - US Troop Model"

Miss Poppy is selling this unusual Christmas tree ornament.

Protect our troops - from the womb to the war. What if the fetus you were going to abort would grow up to be a soldier bringing democracy to a godless dictatorship?

Plastic replica of an 11-12 week old fetus, 3" long, holding a firearm in its precious little hand, with an assortment of other military paraphernalia, encased in a translucent plastic ornament, with a patriotic yellow ribbon on top. Includes a metal ornament hanger. If only a womb were this safe, attractive and reasonably priced!

Show that you support the "culture of life" by buying and proudly displaying one of these patriotic unborn Americans.

  If you don’t realize this is satire… Well… You aren’t very…

  Oh, never mind.

  If I didn’t live in Indiana, I might be sure it was satire.

  Trust me on this.

• [Krisjohn]

  I’ve just seen these little model fetuses (feti?) on the documentary “Jesus Camp”, sans weapon, being used in a totally non-ironic (and more than slightly disturbing) way. I therefore did not assume satire. Thank god they are, so to speak.

  @WWEBOING:
  - Your rush to defend yourself is revealing, as nobody generalized anything.

  No it’s not — he’s just anticipating the other side’s arguments.

  A dead baby with a gun is politically conscious and hilarious.

  – Your rush to defend yourself is revealing, as nobody generalized anything.
  – I hear Christian groups condemn a lot of people and things. It does not particularly endear them to me.
  – If you haven’t heard Muslim groups condemn 9-11, it’s because you weren’t listening.

  “I have yet to hear or see any condemnation of 9-11, the Danish Cartoon riots, or the Teddy Bear teacher, for example.”

  Then you weren’t paying attention…

  If you browse through that website it becomes painfully obvious that, while it is a real store, it’s product is certainly meant as satire. Check out the Anti-Mastubatory Cream or the Righteous Tin Bank for examples.

  No. Just no.

  “Show that you support the “culture of life” by buying and proudly displaying one of these patriotic unborn Americans.”

  I believe that this is called “Irony”.

• [Glynnis Wilson]

  The above Christmas ornament reminds me of tampon ornament crafts as very much on the edge of offense. 
  But, I’m trying to see the irony as more "in front" than the crassness.

• [Krisjohn]

  I bet it’s made in China.

• [Shane]

  Once I realized it was satire, I felt waaaayyyy better… and then ordered one. ;)

• [Maurice Reeves]

  LOL. I am sure that it was made in China too, which raises the image of all of the assembly workers watching this thing rolling by and thinking “WTF are the Amercians up to now?”

  And then I just thought the really horrible thought: well now the Chinese have an outlet for all the extra kids they’re not supposed to have. CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS!

  Yes yes, I’m going to hell.

• [funeralpudding]

  That’s the one of the sickest things I’ve ever seen. I love it.

• [ccjones]

  This is odd. I’m glad our family just goes traditional with good old Artificial Christmas Trees and standard ornaments.

• [klg19]

  High-LAR-ious. I suspected it was satire, and was relieved to find my suspicions confirmed. I wonder how many people will buy it unironically, however?

• [erissian]

  Satire, right?

  Right?
