I want one too. I'm going to make my own if I can't buy them. I don't need to sell them, I would love to make about 20 of them and hand them out to friends and homeless people. I'm pretty artsy, so this is gonna be a blast. BTW, I just watched Walmart The Movie- High cost of low prices. You should all see it. I was unaware that Wal-Mart was such a bad company run by their evil Christian owners! (How gross is that.) Sweet! I want one too. I’m going to make my own if I can’t buy them.
