Fat. Phat. Fatt.

As the sun rose on Whiggy Tease Nation this morning, many of you awoke and asked the following question: What the hell is this new Whiggy product line about?

Let us tell you.

In doing research on the U.S. Presidential election of 1908 – because nothing sells more than Decision 1908 swag – we came upon not once but twice a banner advertising something called the “Dayton Ohio Fatt Men’s Taft Club.”

Of course, we were delighted. So delighted, in fact, we designed an entire line around the banner design. What you see is basically what the banner looked like.

The Fatt Men's Taft Club - it’s so strange and awesome on different levels.

First is the spelling of FATT. It’s not the 1908 version of the 2005 word “PHAT.” A little research shows that it is an anagram of TAFT. Which in convenient, as President William Howard Taft was quite big. This only would have worked better if his last name would have been Seebo, you know what we’re saying?

Or Bardtfoul.

Perhaps even more awesome is the willingness of Taft’s supporters to make fun of their candidate’s girth while making fun of their own. You don’t see that in today’s politics. We mean, there is no “Springfield Illinois Men Incapable of Speaking without a Teleprompter Obama Club,” nor is there an “Eagle River Alaska Women who Love Stripper Shoes Palin Club.”

We’re not suggesting there should be, mind you.

We are suggesting that you get your credit cards out and start shopping, because you want to look nice on your first day of school. Plus, we want to be millionaires, as we have plans for the money already.
