This is just some cheesy attempt by a foreign government to capitalize on the few remaining people who are deluded enough to think they are purchasing a bit of silver plated (or leaf) Americana.

Insulting, exploitative, demeaning, disrespectful..., enough feeling for ya?

Yes... but in more detail on your feelinigs...but obviously someone buys this garbage. I agree it is junk, and sad that this is on the air, at 2 minutes a chunk, i saw it on ESPN!!!! Got sick and looked for the commercial on YouTube to make sure i saw it correectly. To exploit the death of thousands is a disgrace. This is not their 1st attempt so they are selling. I am an American, burn upstate NY just so you know. How much does a 2 minute commercial cost? 20 bucks a pop...2-minute commercial...they are selling...not all feel like us.

BTW...i sometimes feel like these are for those who celebrate 9-11...why does anyone need this and their other previous 9-11 items to "never forget". I lived in Ames. Ma. at the time, one lady's husband died on one of the planes that hit WTC, i wonder how these items make her feel...especially if i dont like them....

Also was does ESPN let this crap air...or any other channel for christs sake!!!!

Since it's silver leaf then there isn't much more silver there than there is in a chicken soup can.

Why is it a "tragedy"? That's used to denote an unavoidable natural disaster. "Atrocity" is the appropriate term but "tragedy" adds passivity to the tone of the language.

It's exploitation if the victims don't get the profits.

isn't liberia a US puppet?

Like i said didn't we fly C.Taylor outta there in the turmoil a couple years back? If Liberia does it and makes bank....why don't other African countries...end the starvation. A US company or gov't agency has to be a part of this, right?

Great Quote Prof....a Charles Taylor signed too...
