 An 'Obama Defecating' Xmas Ornament?


From Reuters:

Figurines known as "caganer" of U.S. President-elect Barack Obama are sold at the Santa Llucia Christmas market in central Barcelona December 1, 2008. Catalans hide "caganers", or defecators, in Christmas Nativity scenes then invite friends to hunt for them during Christmas celebrations. The "caganers", which symbolise defecating and fertilizing the earth, are believed to bring prosperity and luck for the coming year.

The perfect gift for your true-believing friends.

The "caganers", which symbolise defecating and fertilizing the earth, are believed to bring prosperity and luck for the coming year.

Or as we call it here in our country, "hope and change."

Yes we can!

And I thought the commemorative Obama plates and coins were crap.

Actually, I don't know ANYONE offhand who doesn't find those coins and plates to be crap -- and I'd be rather shocked to meet anyone who was an enthusiast.

How can you say that about authentic imitation ceramic plates with genuine 10 karat gold accents and an inspiring design that captures the historic nature of this inauguration, and is sure to become a treasured collector's item?

As for the coins, well... obviously you don't recognize quality when you see it.  

These defecators really show how weird cultural differences can be. If you put that in a shop window in the US, you'd have angry complaints and accusations pouring in. Who knew it's actually a 'good' thing in Spain to have little figurines of people shitting (besides the Spaniards, obviously)?

I assume you thought the same about the plates and [Gawd forbid!!] Christmas ornaments commemorating G.W. Bush.

It's a good thing in China, too, although not for Christmas ornaments...

Actually, it's only Northern Europeans and Americans who are so uptight about shitting. It isn't uncommon for Chinese friends to discuss the condition of their bowels. Everybody in China knows that Mao had hellacious bouts of constipation.

I'm okay being uptight about it.  Tell me about your bowels, and I'll show you the contents of my stomach.

Quality? Riiiiiiight. They couldn't get someone to be able to reproduce the hair properly on a coin so they just painted over a Kennedy silver dollar? What a piece of crap.

Technically speaking, those figurines are a Catalan tradition, not a Spanish tradition.
