Etch A Sketch Responds To Romney: We’re ‘SHAKING Up The National Debate’

[cynatnite]

After his fellow Republican candidates seized on it, the Ohio Arts Company, which makes the Etch A Sketch responded to Mitt Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom comparing Romney to the company’s product with this hilarious statement, sent to ThinkProgress:

Happy to see Etch A Sketch, an American classic toy, is DRAWING attention with political candidates as a cultural icon and important piece of our society. A profound toy, highly recognized and loved by all, is now SHAKING up the national debate. Nothing is as quintessentially American as Etch A Sketch and a good old fashion political debate.

We are pleased with the added attention being drawn to Etch A Sketch which is truly one of the most recognizable, iconic and fun toys ever developed. As one of the most classic toys of all time, Etch A Sketch has always sold particularly well with today’s consumer. It is too early to tell, but we are hopeful to see if there is an uptake in sales given this recent exposure.

Now that would have been funny.

3. Back in the 60's my

dear Dad left a note on the Etch-a-Sketch for myself & my sister. It said "Twins, clean the house". It must have taken him a very long time to write it.

We got quite a giggle out of it.
