Paranoia for sale

Certain fringes in the U.S. have gone more than a little wacky with myths about Obama. A lot of it really isn’t funny.
Here’s one example of paranoia and/or questionable humor on eBay:
A sea shipping container has been repackaged as a “shipping container bomb shelter rubber room
” which, touts the tag line “can also be used for a gun case safe to shoot out of!” It’s unclear whether seller “verycleanwater1691″ is a survivalist, or gently mocking survivalists. He/she claims that the $2,100, 1,100-pound container “is not for use to detain humans” with the caveat “WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF YOU PUT YOUR WIFE IN HERE!” Meanwhile, if you were worried that, say, your county comptroller or school board member goes on wild gun and emergency supply-looting sprees on the weekends, there are ostensibly “enough heavy duty latches on these babies to keep the most determined ‘democrat-liberal type’ from stealing anything!”
