The brilliant folks who replaced soldiers serving in Iraq with 2-D cardboard cut-out "flat dads" for their lonely children back home proudly present the next dimension of symbolic comfort. Dad's spirit may be departed. But he continues to serve... as a plastidad! For a nominal fee: we'll apply the "plastination" process replacing body fluids with laminate form the famous "bodies" shows to the fallen war hero of your choice! War widows love plastidad! (Woman: No more long deployments. No more exotic STDs! And plastihusbands never talks back!) So do kids! (Man: My dead dad can beat up your dead dad!) (Man 2: Your dead dad is only mounted in attack pose. He can't attack.) Easy care! An occasional dusting is all the love plastidad needs! Versitille! Plastidad chunks-reated by IEDs-make great door jams, lawn ornaments and conversation pieces!
