Obama coins hawked by Montel Williams a ripoff? Well...duh!
Ned
One of the most physically painful TV moments in our
lifetime was having to watch poor Montel Williams sell the
last remainder of his soul for worthless Barack Obama
commemorative coins http://xrl.us/Worthless
It seemed just yesterday that the talk show host with the
Yul Brenner scalp was chumming it up on the daytime talk
show circuit, interviewing women who love too much or
husbands who love way too much with people other than their
wives. It was like watching the rock-bottom moment of a
man's life in the wake of his waning glory days without it
airing on VH1.
Now a local action news station has blown the lid off these
coins that Montel has reduced himself to hawking: they are
a bigger gyp than Baywatch Nights.
KATU 2 News out of Portland, Oregon talked to a couple of
Barack Obama collectible hoarders who buy and sell all
sorts of commemorative Obama merchandise. They have
everything from coffee mugs to posters to those plates that
sit in cabinets and no one will ever use unless the
dishwasher breaks and Grandma isn't home. Then they saw the
ad featuring Montel's smiling mug and felt that they had to
have them for their collection. (Danny's news gravitas
instinct kicks in) But what they got was a UPS package of
disappointment and frustration.
They ordered some sets with the thought they were getting
actual coins pressed by the U.S. Mint. What they got was 50-
cent pieces with stickers plastered on one side of them...
The report, of course, features a portion of the Montel
commercial pouring his heart for this coins and telling the
viewers that he's "so proud to be a part of this incredible
offer."...

Whoa... really?
My aunt got some of those "silk screened"? sets that come in the black box.
I assumed the Montel Williams ones were the same.
