I have an ethically challenged but extremely good cash cow
idea, Peter's link to scams got me thinking. Now here is the product, my idea
An Islamic suicide bomber proof charm. A small pigskin bag filled with powdered bacon so if you are in the general vicinity of the bomber the bag will pouf and the bomber doesnt get 72 virgins. Make the bag pretty with dancing pigs etc.(shit pet rocks sold) advertise on the web and publicise it thruout the ME. Southrons love pig parts anyway so maybe a little confederate flag on it. $19.99 includes shipping and handling. bacon is expensive so hickory smoke flavored sand will do with a drop of bacon grease to bless it.
thanx,
bill

Try ebay first.
You may need to get a commanding postion in pork bellies though.

Won't work in Israel
Orthodox Jews will get pissed off because they also have the pork prohibition.
OTOH the US soldiers in Iraq might just love it.

Not really
While Jews are forbidden to eat pork there is no prohibition on getting beneift from pork which includes handling it and therefore it could be used. In fact, this this is not the first time taht I am hearing this idea.

Heh. Heheh. LOL..
ROFL! Make up a few and try 'it out!
Ebay would probably be a good way to sell. Just promise me that you won't use the obvious marketing method for these things.

Ha!
But seriously, recall the stories about one of the hijackers visiting a bar and [link|http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/atta/maps/timeline.htm|drinking alcohol] a few nights before 9/11. Considering Islam's prohibition of alcohol, I don't know if things like pigs blood will be much of a deterrent.
Would be nice if it was that simple though. :-(
Cheers,
Scott.

That would sell.
Its freakin hysterical enough to work. Small clear plastic charm filled with bacon bits sold as a St Porky Charm to keep one safe from terrorists.
You could make it for about a quarter and sell it for ten bucks. (Limit on gag gifts in my opinion)
Nice markup.

How about using Bacon Bits?

Wont work
Most bacon bits (e.g. Bac'Os) are soy.
No prohibition on soy in ME. (Shit, those fsckers probably don't even know what soy(a) is!).

Oh. Wait.

I am still convinced that Bush Sr. picked Quayle...
...because he wanted somebody in D.C. who reminded him of Dubya.
