Well, if ever there were a doubt that many Americans are indeed lunatics around the topic of religion, here is some definitive proof.
I had been hearing about a recent episode of "Trading Spouses" (one of my favorite sitcoms) in which one of the wives totally lost it, but I never actually saw it. And then, while reading through ABC reporter Jake Tapper's blog, I came across a link to an Ebay auction of a bobblehead doll of the lunatic wife herself, aka "God Warrior."

As you scroll through the very long description of the auction, it's very very hard not to fall in love with the creator of the bobble-head (and given the materials, part of me thinks this is the same Kossak who did the Bill Clinton for first lady costume at the protest).
Here is the artist's description of the doll:
Up for auction is a custom-made bobblehead doll of Marguerite Perrin, the GOD WARRIOR Crazy mom from the latest episode of Fox's Trading Spouses t.v. series. This is the only one ever made! A truely unique and hilarious item to own!
The bobblehead doll has been sculpted from polymer clay and hardened. Her head actually wobbles! Doll has been hand painted with acrylic paints and is coated in a durable clear gloss finish. She's dressed in a real cloth "moomoo" black dress and shirt. She even has a real beaded necklace with silver medalion like the one she was wearing during her "meltdown" on the show.
Many people were shocked and disgusted with Marguerite's behavior on the show. Not me! I thought it was so hilarious and wonderful it inspired me to create a bobblehead in her likeness! She is now my favorite t.v. personality of all time. When judgement day comes, me and Marguerite will be fighting the demons and stabbing the jaws of gargoyles and the demonic "moon creatures"! Everything's unholy!
The bobblehead sits on a base which contains the sound unit and features actual clips of Marguerite's meltdown from the show. Clips have been recorded from a direct line from the t.v. audio to ensure the best possible sound quality. Play, fast-forward, and rewind buttons are exposed for playback of the sound clips from the small speaker to the right of her. The sound recording unit's "record" button has been removed so that you don't have to worry about accidently recording over her voice.
Here's the God Warrior bobblehead (he made only one so it's an origianl), who speaks key lines from the show:
With an accompanying bumper sticker:
Read through and you'll see that he has not only garnered local news coverage, but managed to get the God Warrior to autograph a photo of herself!
There's other hysterically funny stuff there, but I won't you to visit the auction and read it for yourself. I think we could all use the laugh.
