House of Cards

I wonder if their creators [via Ego] realised they were creating a new category of polemic when they created the now infamous Iraqi Most Wanted playing cards, that have now become big business? On the anti-war side, the ones from the Ruckus Society are politics, while others smell of opportunism. On the pro-war side, there's commerce a-plenty. And there's a growing fringe industry of posters, screen savers and more. There's even a web site keeping a list of all the decks out there. What was initially amusing is to my mind getting rather tired now, but I expect to see regular re-runs.
