Ever wanted to cause Pat Robertson a massive headache? give him back pain? jab him in the crotch? Of course you have! Well then BID NOW to own your very own pysical representation of the dark, dark soul of Pat Robertson.
Accessories included with the doll are Pat’s very own “HOLY” BIBLE and BAG OF MONEY taken from real Americans! WOW!
BID NOW!!!!

I was a little leary of using the insane blubbering of a racist theocratic megalomaniac to aid the Haitian People at first, but heck, I have an idea that might be marketable....

What do you think? The real iron pig of
Port-au-Prince piggy bank. I mean, the fundies have gotten so much mileage out of their spook story of the Haitian Pact with the devil and the "Iron Pig Statue" which it turns out existed only in the Spook Stories the Fundies tell around their campfire meetings to scare the bejeezus out of each other...With my nifty little iron pig of Port-au-Prince piggy bank, you can save those pennies and then donte them to Doctors Without Borders or MSF!
There actually was a statue of an iron pig, actually a wild boar in Port-au-Prince. It was a gift from the Italian embasasy during the time of Mussolini, but it disappeared in the early 70's. It was stolen and melted down...........
by the way, the Robertson Voodoo Doll comes fully equipped with pins.

That's a wonderful funny post. It's hard to believe this guy has so many followers.

Love it! The pig is my favorite, for sure. although the Voodoo with the bible is a close second.

...and the old ladies still send him part of their pension checks each month to guarantee their liftoff to heaven.

Hello Microdot,
Here is where you are the best!! I could hardly wait to reply and wished I had been the first. :-)

As far as the “PAT ROBERSTON VOODOO DOLL” I think that who ever wins this bid should also obtain the manufacturing rights. That way they could, with some stimulus grants from the world community, set up manufacturing in Haiti creating local job for the citizens. Think of the revenue generation for the local economy just from the demand of sane thinking people ordering on line their very own “PAT ROBERSTON VOODOO DOLL!!”

Of course let us not forget the value added of manufacturing “The Real Iron Pig Of
Port-au-Prince Piggy Bank” for everybody involved producing the “PAT ROBERSTON VOODOO DOLL.” They will need somewhere to place and save their money earned. Now you have completed the whole circle of economic stabilization!!

It has been relisted on eBay. Ironically, eBay took it down because it could not be verified that Pat Robertson's soul actually exists. Here's the new eBay link. It's over $670 again!
