Big thanks to reader Roman G. for sending this new Dharma-Burger. He provides his own commentary, too.  Take it away, Roman:

Does a duck have buddha nature ?  Well, according to Celebriducks, a company that manufactures bathtime rubber duckies, the answer is a resounding “Yes.”

Enter the Buddha Celebriduck, a vinyl bathtime version of Hotei with his own mala and fan.

Rather than just being an exploitation of the Hotei image, the folks at Celebriducks went out of their way to explain it and its origins on their web site and provided links for further reading.

And, lest Celebriducks be accused of picking on Buddhists unfairly, there’s Jesus, Moses, Guardian Angel, Nun, Pope, and Satan ducks as well. Each is available, of course, for an additional $11.99.

Does a duck have buddha nature ? Maybe. But we know this duck tastes terrible with duck sauce.
