If it weren't for McCarthy and all her ACLU cronies, companies like this would not exist; freedom of speech/expression should only go so far, and when something is as offensive as this it ought to be taken off the market, not auctioned. Just my two cents...
But, in any case, as much as this sort of thing is deplorable, do you really want the goverment being the arbitrar of what can and cannot be said/sold?
