New York - Tin foil hat prices struck a 12 year high Friday, breaching 3 dollars in New York, after it was confirmed that President Obama will give a speech to US students on September 8th.
The Association of Tin Foil Hat Manufacturers had said in its August report on Thursday that the tinfoil hat market may be sending a message that the number of Obama conspiracy theorists is multiplying rapidly.
"Markets are currently in a phase of identifying new conspiracy theories and our Association may be making another upward revision to demand for the next 10-12 months " said tin foil hat analyst Per Abrams. "We haven't seen a price hike like this since the Clinton's allegedly murdered Vince Foster over a decade ago."
Demand for tin foil hats began to surge after President Obama's inauguration in January. Since then tin foil hat prices have climbed steadily.
The latest rise in prices comes amid fears that President Obama will attempt to indoctrinate students with Communism, Fascism, Socialism, Liberalism and Islam during his 15 minute speech to students on Tuesday.
Reactions to the tin foil hat price increase were mixed. One mother from Hemmingway, SC said "I'm not happy about the spike in prices but I will not be sending my little angel to school September 8th without her being fully protected. What kind of parent would I be if I sent my child to school without her tin foil hat?"
More typical reaction came from a man from Lynchburg, TN saying, "Like most Negroes, we all know how shifty this President can be. This Obama manipulated price increase is outrageous. It's just another attempt by the Kenyan in Chief to make it more difficult for ordinary Americans to protect themselves and their children against liberal fascist socialists and their communistic ideals."
