For the cat and free speech lover in your life are these fabulous Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un scratching posts. Also a variety of more affordable litter trays.

Are you kidding? I can't think of two world leaders cats would idolize more.

Holy shit. EIGHT GRAND for a slightly-taller-than-a-cat scratching post? Anyone who buys this is an asshole in my book.

4500 euros is more like six grand, but that's still a lot of uh, scratch.

Well, no one's trying to make money of them - they are one-of-a-kind protest items meant to appeal to someone who would like to donate 4500 euros to the cause. And get a nice conversation piece/scratching post in the bargain.

However, for £3, you can poop on Putin's face. That's a bargain in my book.

I always feel uncomfortable when we dehumanize anyone, even people as odious as these two chappies. By dehumanizing them, we dehumanize ourselves.

Dehumanizing?

Wait, these aren't the real Putin and Kim?

I'm in for a tenner. As long as the last pound goes to charity.

And yet, in 2012, I only sold seventeen Vomit Romney mugs.

What a coincidence, I just discovered that Peter Jackson's Bad Taste is available in its entirety on YouTube:

One Christmas a couple of years ago, my SIL gave us a handmade catnip toy imprinted with likeness of Stephen Harper on it. My cats destroyed the shit out of it.
