It's a piece of plastic and metal. It could look like George Bush, for all I care--I still wouldn't feel like striking off its head, as I do the real George Bush. Just think of it as a sort of decorative lamp. Whatever the form may be, the purpose remains that of a lamp. And I suspect the reason they chose this form was to get attention from all the newspapers, who just love to eat up bubblegum-flavored nonsense.
