Hobby Lobby buying smuggled Iraqi artifacts is too much for the internet to handle
Hobby Lobby, the store that sells picture frames and wicker baskets to your grandmother, was just punished for buying ancient artifacts smuggled out of modern-day Iraq.
Like the villain in the world's worst Indiana Jones movie ("It belongs in a museum!"), the company snatched up thousands of cuneiform tablets and clay bullae, which were moved through Israel and the United Arab Emirates, and illegally shipped to the United States.

If your reaction to this story was, "Wait, WTF?," you weren't alone.

Why might Hobby Lobby be interested in ancient artifacts? Well, the company's founder, David Green, is the man behind the soon-to-open Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., and he's been on a bit of an antiquity-buying spree for the last few years.

And so, Wednesday, the schadenfreudeflowed freely.

At least Michaels has a new potential slogan: "The arts and crafts store that doesn't buy smuggled artifacts from Iraq."
