#HobbyLobbyLove is a thing, but it's not going well

Conservatives just don't seem to "get" social media, do they? Or is it just that they are unable to be creative?

America's most prominent teen mom and walking demonstration of the failure of conservative abstinence notions Bristol Palin knows just how to say thank you to Hobby Lobby for protecting their employees from the fires of hell. (Well, or at least making sure the company gets to save a few bucks—the premise is still a bit fuzzy.) With a hashtag, of course! And so today marks Palin's announced #HobbyLobbyLove day, a day that sounds pornographic but is in fact merely a day to take pictures of yourself buying cheap imported crap from a company that puts the womenfolk in their proper place.
But much like abstinence education, Twitter hashtags often do not work out quite as conservatives plan they might. #HobbyLobbyLove is having a rough go of it.


I want to bedazzle my Viagra bottle...does @HobbyLobbyStore stick light blue beads? #hobbylobbylove

Do we sell those loops that you make potholders out of? Well, I really don't want to make potholders I just need that long chochet-hook thingie that goes with the loops. What? Oh, no. I cant tell you why because you might not want to sell me the item. What? They are out of stock right now? But I cant wait. How 'bout you just ship ME to one of our warehouses in China and my problem will be solved.
