Why That Obama Victory Plate Isn't Worth Much

It's been 4 months now since I ordered the "victory plate." The money for two plates was withdrawn from my account. But I have not received the plates to date-5/07/09. Could this be a grand scam?

I noticed that very thing, and it's done in TV and movies quite often. Don't they know that viewers are all too aware of those lesions, hoping they won't show up at various angles? To see them reversed insults the intelligence of the observant viewer.

What's even worse than companies professing the Barack Obama Victory Plate will be worth something years from now, is that one company has his photographic likeness REVERSED on the plate. In other words, the mole on Barack Obama's face near his nose is shown on the LEFT side of his face on this plate, when in actuality it is on the right side. Daaaaaah. I wonder how many people have noticed that!
The company even claims to be the offical victory plate site:

This is pretty disturbing to me, if you are going to do something like this, do it right.
