I need to pick up some balloons for a kid's birthday party and—holy shit, is that what I think it is?
You mean this American Soldier-shaped piñata?  Good choice, it's one of our best sellers.
Are you actually suggesting hanging a depiction of a serviceman from a tree, and having children beat it with sticks?
Why? what's wrong with it?
Well, the birthday boy isn't Iraqi.
Look, just be patriotic and buy the damned effigy.
