Nothing says “I’m celebrating the true spirit of Christmas” quite like a $2 light-up necklace, am I right?
The best part about this totally classy fashion accessory is probably the awesome glamor shot model on the packaging.
Um, what the heck, people?
According to The Naked Loon’s web tracking software, on Wednesday and Thursday at least 43 people arrived at our recent point-counterpoint by doing a Google News search for “is obama the antichrist”, plus over 150 more that searched for either obama antichrist, obama anti christ, obama the antichrist, and many other variations totaling over 200 visitors.

Anybody remember this story from the Naked Loon’s April 1 launch day? Fun Over for King County Fair

Don’t you hate it when you’re trying to run a consistent online newspaper business, and suddenly your entire staff just up and leaves on a road trip without giving you any notice, and they say they’re going to write stuff from the road, but they only send you a couple of stories, and then they give you some story about how they got a tank of bad gas in Oregon, and it cost them over $400 to fix their car, and they’re sorry but they just haven’t had the time to write you stories, and why don’t you just post a cute picture of a raccoon or something, and anyway we’ll be back Friday and we’ll get right to work, we promise.
I hate it when that happens. Stupid Oregon.
