Just because terrorism is serious business doesn’t mean that you have to be all pouty-faced about it. The War on Terror (sarcastic finger quotations implied) isn’t going anywhere any time soon – so why not kick back, relax, and join in on the band wagon by spending some of your strong Australian dollars (more finger quotations) to get into the spirit of the times! Read on to see some of our favourite terrorism-related products ever. …If you don’t, you’re probably one of them. Get ‘um, Cheney!   
 


Terrorist Teapot
From Jackie Piper, this winking teapot and balaclava duo are the bees knees, and especially effective if you make some nice, red wheat tea and then hurl it at passing motorists. (link) 
 
 


Terrorist T-shirt
Whoever thought producing and distributing this T-shirt must have a pretty good sense of humour. Whoever thinks of actually wearing it must have a pretty good ability to evade police bullets because I cannot envisage any other outcome if you try sporting it in public. (link) 
 
 
 
Terrorist Finger puppets
The whole crew’s here! You have the big names Saddam and Osama, the ‘we’re not calling them terrorists… yet’ rabblerousers Jong-il and Ahmadinejad, and even a controversial George W. Bush inclusion for some good culturally relative think time. Five puppets, only four fingers – who gets the thumb? (link) 
 
 
 
Terrorist Alarm Clock
Not ever, ever to be taken on an aeroplane, this alarm clock glows bright red and makes an explodey noise when it’s time to get up – though you can pull the fuse to use the ‘snooze’ function if you’re a lazy freedom fighter. (link) 
 
 
 
Terrorist Body Bag
Helpfully printed with instructions, this burlap sack is specified for “stuff(ing) wretched remains in bag and send(ing terrorists) to HELL! (capitalisation theirs)”. The most convenient part is that it is also “good for ALL terrorists” which is good in case you bump into Kim Jong-il on a bus or something. (link)
