The Dot Com Bust, in Two Ounce Doses

It took less than a week for a crafty Austinite to capitalize on the destruction of the Intel shell, though we're honestly too dense to figure out whether this is a joke or not: for twenty bucks, you too can own your very own "piece of Austin history" (or, rather, pieces), in the form of a jar of blown-up concrete from the former downtown eyesore.

Please note that the contents may vary. Shipping via USPS to US addresses only. Container holds about 2 ounces of liquid, but you will get solids. Image is for reference purpose only. Shipments will be in 1-2 weeks, hopefully sooner, after payment is received. Not for consumption. Keep away from small children and cute furry animals. The real Intel logo is owned by Intel Corp. This logo is a parody, so was the building shell that stood in Austin for 6 years. This site has absolutely nothing to do with Intel or semiconductors. Lid color subject to change. No animals or politicians were harmed during the bottling process.

Investigate for yourself here.

Only a matter of minutes before they get their first cease and decist order!

 

I bet it's Louis Black.

When you hold the jar close to your ear you'll hear the muffled voice of Liberty Lunch whimpering, "See, I told you so!"
