unintentionally, this space has attributed many inches toward common edibles. first, there was our fructose-related flare-up. we also had p. diddy's inquiry into which poultry product better suited his taste. and our chicken emergency in florida.
here we go again. except this time, we're going global.
first up, obama chicken fingers from our german friends. this came to me by way of MM by way of DA (thx!). the official word is that the company wanted to capitalize on the obama mania. um, why can't they just sell crappy t-shirts not unlike many a street hustler? these fingers get two thumbs down.
then we have this ice cream product from our (former) commie buddies. my biracial brethren, you may be thoroughly offended, or at the very least, mildly taken aback.
furthermore, the packaging features a pink-hued smiley face with a bow (we can deduce that it's some sort of symbolic female figure) and a brown-colored smiley face bearing a huge grin and cool sunglasses (representing some sort of male figure perhaps). on the left side of the ad, we see the words 'chocolate in vanilla.' not 'and' but 'in.' as in 'in'-tercourse. or am i reaching?
with our cool new president, should other nations take a look at their own stereotypes against people of african descent? should we further educate them on what's appropriate in american culture, since they've decided to use our leader's image?
