Some people have gotten up in arms about Chia Obama
, and I guess I’m still kinda racism ignorant because it took me a while to figure out why. I guess because basically you’re growing an afro on him, and it’s a little racist to see a black man and say, “Hey, let’s put an afro on him.” IMAO would never do such a thing.
Now, clearly I haven’t studied this issue as carefully as you have, Harvey, but a point begs to be made.
There are enough people in the world that for at least one person, Chia Obama is the one issue that made them decide that Obama is receiving hate-filled racist abuse by the American public.
Wrap your head around that one.
Just another example of anti-Irish racism still present in America.
Funny!… but the picture needs a Afro pick sticking up in the back to look realistic.
now I have to get this image out of my head…
He kinda does give new meaning to the term “waterhead”
For those of you WITHOUT a green thumb, you can just glue some steel wool on the Chia Obama. I plan to water mine since I have great luck with vegetables with brown food coloring added.
Racist? Blacks don’t have green hair. Jeez…
Now, the Obama bobble head on that same page…
I liked the “Obama’s Fried Chicken & Pizza” shops that were protested up in Harlem.
Can’t tell if Chia O-bah-muhh has that mole on the side of his nose, the skin tone isn’t quite right, and the obvious green ‘fro are just a few reasons not to spend money on it. The steel wool idea is good though.
On closer observation, Chia Obama looks stoned, with the squinty eyes and all. Maybe it’s more accurate than we think?
Forget Chia Obama, how could you miss ‘Corkscrew Bill’? This item showed up as an item bought by people who bought Chia Obama.
Now every time I see that one’s picture or hear his name, I’m going to have that
“Cha cha cha Chia!” jingle running through my head!
It’s just like any other Chia pet, except once you invite the Chia Obama into your house instead of just sitting there growing sprouts, it also destroys your life. Just like the real Obama.
It looks more like Chia Billy Crystal to me.
Did you see the ears on the Obama Action Figure?
The makers of Chia Pet could have done a service to the consumers:
Instead of “Chia Obama”, they could’ve called it “The deficit-inflating Obama”, as illustrated by the plant growth on the hollow head.
Too bad the new deficit grows faster & produces less. But hey- at least it’s green!
