POLITICAL PUNCHING BAGS

POLITICAL PUNCHING BAGS

CHICO, Calif. (Wireless Flash) -- Ever wished you could sock it to Al Gore or George W. Bush? An entrepreneur in Chico, California, is giving people the chance to do just that with a new line of political punching bags. The so-called "Boffobop" bags are small inflatable punching bags which feature an image of each candidate and a voice module that utters catchphrases when you wallop it. When you smack the Gore punching bag in the kisser, he'll says "That's right, I invented the internet," while the Bush bag announces "Daddy, I want a ball team." Inventor Randall Bettencourt says the punching bags aren't all about fun: he claims they're a great way to release stress during this particularly anxious election season.
