Are we carrying this deck of cards thingy too far?

And now, the California Recall Candidates Deck of Cards, proceeded by the Iraqi most-wanted deck of cards, then the Trade Relief Organization's "regime change" deck, among others. Are we carrying this deck of cards thingy too far? (Beware of nasty popups, slowloading page and possible NSFW ad on 1st linked page, which was seen on Geisha Asobi blog.)

Er, I forgot to mention that many of the links on Geisha Asobi are definitely NSFW. Sorry....

Just a few more and I can market my 'silly deck of cards' deck of cards.

Well, gee, I didn't know Father Guido Sarducci was running. If the state goes the show business route, I'd like him better than Arnold.

I suppose all of these "Decks Of..." are great -- if you play cards. I don't quite understand the appeal. Are there THAT many people out there who actually "play" cards with these decks?

(shrugs) There are worse things to collect, so why not?

The Iraqi deck was a bit disappointing, as some of the cards have no photos. How are those cards supposed to help?

I guess the California Candidates one would have to be a bridge set, since there are so many on that ballot.

We're not posting too much about the California recall either.

I say we're not posting enough comments about the amount of posts about the California recall.
