You’ve been reading and hearing about “Tea Party” non-stop in the news for several years now and all this time you thought it was about _politics?_ 😃

Meh. Been done before.

Am I the only one who remembers the [Volkswagen Beetle Fifth Wheel Camper?](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56XL0TysIn0). (about 30 seconds in)

I remember seeing ads for this in a camping magazine, but never saw one in the wild.

But that camper looks nothing like a dick, which is the only remarkable part of this new one.
