    I read a company spokesperson's quote that stated, I'm paraphrasing, "We are proud to have our American icon be part of the Anerican political process". She failed to mention that her "American icon" has been made in China the last twelve years.

    Welp, there goes that "80,000 etch-a-sketches in Charlotte" idea. :twisted:

    Wow. I hope they're not sneaking in lead under that screen :mrgreen:

    (I LOVED my etch-a-sketch when I was a kid. I didn't think they were even being made anymore, what with new-fangled technology and all.)

    Maybe this 'gaff' is a Romney cover for a massive CIA purchase of etch-a-sketches to be used in the next false flag attack? ;)

    We had an etch-a-sketch when I was a kid and figured out how to open it so we could play with the mercury. If I ever fall of the radar here you'll know why. :|
