Oh, No, Where to Get Our Crazy New Year's Wares?

Reader Douglas sent us this photograph of a 14th Street vendor unable to vend various 2008 and New Year's Eve tchotchkes. We've seen these vendors are on many corners, so one probably doesn't need to go too far to find one. And we have to admit that the wacky metallic top hat with LED "Happy New Year" (with a blinking and constant modes) are pretty hilarious. So hilarious that we bought one, along with 2008 sunglasses and a Happy New Year tiara.

Do you get decked out in New Year's Eve gear?

If street vendors can't sell worthless plastic crap that's destined for the junk pile a day later then the terrorists have already won.

If I was a terrorist, I'd probably devise some death ray that would shoot out of my wacky novelty glasses. Such vendors need to be banned to keep America safe. Plus, that guy's obviously wearing a prosthetic chin disguise with poorly placed cheek bone implants. Suspicious.
