*product contains no actual Obama
Nope.
Does it contain chicken?
*squints* Says it does.
Yum! Chicken fingers!
Obama Fingers sound so much better than Nazi Nuggets.... I can see it... I'm waiting for the White House Brand Watermelons to hit the unemployment line in carts.
Yeah, they REALLY don't get it over there. Much like most of the rest of the world, they are more racially homogeneous than the US.
My friends mom deals with contracts for children's books. There was a very popular one form germany, and the head office (also no in the US) was adamant that it would sell well here too. It was about a little african boy, drawn like some racist 1940s political cartoon, and referred to black people as monkeys and gorillas.
Yah..
referred to black people as monkeys and gorillas."
Kinda like some Madvillagers.
It is kinda funny in the sense that there are people out there so tone deaf to what they say about themselves when they put their stupidity out for everyone to see.
In the South they call that showing your ass to the world.
With Obama as a Democrat, and President, we are in fact showing our ass to the world.
i has a sad.
It's not being tone deaf. It's really that such a level of racism is considered socially acceptable throughout most of europe.
There isn't meaningful backlash from doing something along those lines.
Something to keep in mid whenever you are feeling like the USA is backwards and uncivilized.

Can't they be sued for using the name Obama in their product?
