Has anyone seen the TV commercial for "Trumpy Bear"? While watching an old series

last night, I thought I was in a delusional state while watching the commercial. You can access the website and commercial at www.gettrumpybear.com. You can get one for $39.95 and $6.95 shipping! AND you get a Certificate of Authenticity with your order! Bet they are made in JINA! Unbelievable!!

During an old episode of MST3K. For a few seconds, I thought it was part of the program.

Do they think MSTies are on their side? Don't they know that we have a superb sense of the ridiculous, and that they are superbly ridiculous?

...yesterday afternoon. I thought some comedy skit had suddenly preempted the movie I was watching. The whole thing was very surreal.

It's a) real but b) intended as a joke but c) because so many of Trump's alt-right fanboys are either irony-deprived or eschew any sense of irony even when they know something is intended as a joke, they'll pay good money ($47 worth!) for it.

Then whoever is making money from Trumpy bear donates the proceeds to some liberal cause, like for immigrant families or something.

That's what I can glimmer from it.

The fact that someone on the video's name was a supposed veteran named "Frank Warholic" has me thinking in no way is this intended to be serious.
