Osama bin Laden's death has New York "teeming with new life," according to Mayor Bloomberg. But do you know what's also thriving? Capitalism. Numerous businesses across America see today as a reason to offer discounts or new products based on the terrorist's death. Indianapolis laser tag center LaserFlash writes on Twitter, "We're celebrating America's victory over Osama bin Laden with free laser tag today. Call ahead for reservations."
The Daily News reports that t-shirts with slogans like "We Got Him" and "Obama 1, Osama 0" are already on sale across the city, and we found these stylish license plates with catchphrases like "Obama Got Osama" and "Semper Fi Motherf--ker" for the low low price of $19.50! However, other companies are using today as a chance to move stagnant bin Laden stock. This Osama bin Laden pinata is on sale for $26.95. Okay, so it's on sale every day, but today they must mean it more. Unfortunately, there are no "Congratulations Osama Is Dead" flowers yet available on 1800Flowers.com. These will have to do.
