News from the toyshop.
A voodoo doll that looks like French President Nicolas Sarkozy has gone on sale. The doll, which we expect to be the first in a range of similar products depicting well known politicians and celebrities, is sold with a supply of pins for sticking in its body and an instruction manual, The beginners Guide To Voodoo.
The macabre toy has a basic model and a de – luxe which can speak some of the President’s more elegant epigrams such as: “Get lost you pathetique arsehole,” a remark Sarkozy addressed to an elector who snubbed him.
Boggart Blog has been told by our mole in the French government M. Sarkozy is not best pleased. Nonetheless we expect it to be a big seller this Christmas.
Other characters that will figure in the range include an Osama bin Laden that says “burn the infidels” and “Run, run as fast as you can, you can’t catch me I’m the Jihadist man;” Gordon Brown chanting the mantra “The British economy is fundamentally sound,” George Michael asking “Is there a toilet nearby?” and John McCain singing a medley of The Chipmunks hits.
The Barak Obama was unfortunately withdrawn at the last moment. Marketing consultants thought the public might realise it was nothing but a kebab skewer with a pair of comedy ears stuck on.
