POLITCAL PARTYING
by jim on May 3, 2004
Actor turned politician (Is there a difference?), Arnold Schwarzenegger, is taking aim at Bosley Bobbers, an Ohio firm that sells bobblehead statuette likenesses of famous, and infamous personages through their website: BosleyBobbers.com
Governor Schwarzenegger, takes umbrage at the selling of the business suited, assault rifle carrying figure of himself and his lawyer is suing the manufacturer. A company spokesperson says, "We're not stopping, so bring it on!"
You'd think that The Terminator would be flattered that his doll sells for $19.95 whereas bobbleheads of John Kerry, Jesus, Abraham Lincoln and Al Capone sell for only $14.95.
Perhaps he doesn't want to be affiliated with New York Senator Hillary Clinton and former President Jimmy Carter, who are thrilled at being part of the bobblehead brigade.
However, former Mayor of New York Rudolf Guliani, a Republican, has gotten with the program and brings his doll to his speaking engagements.
I wonder what really ticks Arnold off about this doll? It's a pretty good likeness, although the hair is rendered in a rather bizarre color.
Perhaps it's non-receipt of the 20 or so million bucks that Arnold, according to his lawyer, is sometimes offered for "commercial exploitation uses."
Man, I wish someone wanted to "exploit" me for 20 million bucks!
