In Rockwall County, a place known for its conservative politics, one mechanic is getting a lot of attention for his latest promotion: a Nobel Peace Prize, free with every oil change.

The offer, which pokes fun at President Barack Obama's recent Nobel Prize win, sits on a 4-by-10-foot sign in front of Horizon Auto Center on the outskirts of Rockwall.

Owner Ken Sterling says that since he put it there, response has been overwhelming. A photo of the sign was posted online and has gone viral, appearing on blogs, conservative Web sites and Twitter feeds.

"We've had more than 400 calls and e-mails," Sterling said, adding that only two callers thought the sign was in poor taste.

6. As opposed to a sign with Bush: "Free blood soaked can of oil with every oil change."

"Free blown up body of innocent civilian with every oil change"

"Free no-bid contract with every oil change"

"Free war with every oil change"

"Free pack of lies with every oil change"

"Free underfunded programs with every oil change?"

These conservative really have no brains. They honesty think people hand out purple hearts, silver stars, bronze stars and Nobel Prizes like the prize at the bottom of a crackerjack box.

What asshats!

[Mithreal]

7. Really? purple hearts, silver stars, bronze stars are awarded for potential?

10. I would sue them for 11.5 MILLION for False Advertising and Bait & Switch.

That's 500,000.00 for the Gold Medallion and Diploma. 1,000,000.00 for the prize money. 10,000,000.00 in punitive damages so they don't do it again.

11. Well, That's About What It's Worth with the Debasement Thrown in

If Obama had respectfully declined, he might have had a shred of dignity left.

And I might had a shred of respect left.

I guess it's better this way, more transparent and out in the open.

12. Glenn Beck said the same thing.

I would prefer not to get marching orders from Glenn Beck.
