It only took a few hours after the news broke of Osama bin Laden's final curtain – but by Monday morning tourists and residents in Washington DC could commemorate the event in T-shirt form for $10.
"We're selling them as fast as we can print them," said the vendor near Lafayette Park. "I'm waiting for another load now." But buyers were outnumbered by gawkers wanting to take photographs of the T-shirts.
The eagle-eyed may note a few minor inaccuracies. First, Barack Obama was not physically present at the storming of Osama's hideout. Second, Osama was living in a fortified mansion, not a cave in a mountain. Third, Barack Obama had been president for 831 days on 1 May 2011, not 1,461 days as the T-shirt claims.
The Luke 10:19 passage referenced in the bottom left corner reads:
Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
