FakeTakes Releases Presidential Debate Collectable Satire

FakeTakes creates collectable satire cards based on recent events dominating the news. Each card takes a unique look at the event and includes an item inserted into the card to commemorate the event. The inserts are fakes. Each piece is encapsulated in a plastic case that also contains a Certificate of Unauthenticity. The card reverse contains an editorial of the event depicted on the front.

Leo Klein, president of FakeTakes, commented, "This latest release is a satirical and collectable commemorative of the 2004 election. The cards are very funny and - we believe - get to the core issues facing each candidate as they seek our nations highest office."

The George Bush piece, titled "Dubya," contains an image of the President on the USS Abraham Lincoln, with the Mission Accomplished banner seen in the background. The President's flight helmet looks strangely like a fraternity beer hat. The flight suit contains numerous meat-based products such as pork rinds and jerky. The collectable satire card has a "genuine" piece of a flight suit that is beer- and food-stained.

The John Kerry piece is titled "Flip Flopsy" and contains an image of the presidential hopeful in a NASA clean suit. The suit looks strangely similar to a bunny costume. The bunny is wearing several medals from the Vietnam campaign. The collectable satire card contains the ribbon from one of John Kery's discarded purple hearts.

FakeTakes was inspired by Chicago Cubs fan Steve Bartman who earned his 15 minutes of fame going for a foul ball. The inspiration realized is a series of collectable satire cards based on the events that dominate the media.
