Here is the best ad I've seen at a local beautification establishment:

We're getting rid of Bush!
25% off Bikini Waxes through January 20.

Local gun shop had an Obama sale back toward the end of the year.

A bunch of Southerners buying guns before Obama comes to power... should we be worried? :D

I didn't even know people did inauguration sales.

Contrary to the relatively mild concern that the sale drew, the point of the sale was that with the regime change it was uncertain what weapons might be available for purchase & for how long.

The reality was that it just a moderately cute way to draw some attention for what was really a more mundane end of the year inventory sale. Worked okay I think, as gun shops are among the few niches that are actually reported sales about equal to previous years and in some cases actually up over last year.
