We usually buy things designed to make us feel good about using them. Sometimes the message is explicit: Nike iPod gadgets tell us how far we jogged. Junk food tells us it has no trans fats. Progressives are particularly great at fulfillment through consumer choice: “These chickens were free-range before I ate them!” “My Prius says I only polluted a little today!” “This rock on my finger was mined in Canada, a country not torn apart by civil war!”

But I prefer the products that intentionally make me feel guilty.

Scarface and capitalism shirt

And I got f*cked to the tune of $17 by the Ironic Corporation!

Disappearing civil liberties mug

Heat the mug and lose freedom of speech, freedom to assemble…man, now breakfast is fun!

Global warming mug

Better than the civil liberties mug, this one makes you feel bad just for using energy to make your coffee.
