Colbert Washed Up?

I could have titled this "Colbert Cleaning Up", but that might not have arched enough eyebrows.

For no apparent reason, I was perusing the web site of perhaps the leading purveyor of classic vintage bathtubs in these here United States, when I noticed a little linky at the bottom titled "Greatest Living American".

Gotta say, that's one heck of a paint job on that baby. I wonder if Colbert actually posed for those pix or if that's just really good photo shopping?


Love the copy, too, "this tub proudly depicts an American flag as it waives in the breeze – the breeze of freedom (in fact, the freshiest breeze of freedom in the free world . . . .27% fresher than the nearest leading democracy Great Britain)" and "Vintage Tub and Bath is proud - nay, very proud – to name this tub after the man who provides light where there is darkness, strength where there is weakness, and hair gel where there were once split ends."

Regardless, if you are in the market for one of those (becoming more ubiquitous) vintage tubs, Vintage Tub & Bath, in good 'ol Hazleton, PA, seems as good a place to start as any -- flags optional.

{UPDATE: Living sans TV (actually, I have an HDTV & HDDVD player, just no cable or reception), I am a bit behind on these things. But it turns out that the Vintage Tub folk were part of a massive Google bombing linking Colbert to "Greatest Living American". More here. And they are collecting a bribe prize for their efforts! Well done.}
