Is the Chia Obama the Next Big Collectible?

[Ivan Seeking]

If you thought you had seen just about everything with the new president’s likeness, think again.

Joseph Enterprises has added the Chia Obama to its line of Chia Pet products.

If you’ve ever had a Chia Pet, then you know that seeds are put on the head, and water is added, producing instant green “hair.”

I can see the sybolism of "green" hair.

This is unfair media bias. The liberal media only gives free PR to the leftists. Don't believe me: where's the coverage of Sarah Palin brand condoms? Liberal media I tell you.

3 years ago a chia afro would have been labeled as racist. Once again Obama changes the world.

Japanese Learn English, Thanks To Obama

(AP) Aspiring English speakers in Japan have made President Barack Obama's book of speeches and accompanying CD a national best-seller.

In Aichi, central Japan, a Buddhist monk has reportedly been playing the president's speeches during his temple service. And dozens of students in an English-language class in Tokyo have been memorizing his 2004 Democratic Convention speech to improve their understanding and pronunciation..

One of my best friends - his mom is still investing in those little beanbag dolls - can't remember what they are called...
It is tough not to laugh at that.

I think a few people go a wee bit overboard with shtuff.


And now, presidential action figures?


I suppose this is some kind of economic stimulus.

Racist because most black people naturally have afros?

It depends on what you grow.

If you were hoping to get your "Chia Obama" from Walgreens stores in Tampa or Chicago, you better think again. Stores in those two cities have yanked the pet plant with a likeness of the president because some shoppers found this Chia Pet racist, according to The Huffington Post...

Would a Chia-Richard Simmons be racist?

Whos the barbarian lady? She doesn't look like Palin or any other famous politicians.

 

[Tsu]

She looks like Ann Coulter to me.

My favorite is still the Obama soap called "Hope on a Rope".

 

[Ivan Seeking]

She looks like Ann Coulter to me.

Who, Twiggy? She may look like Coulter, but Coulter is all skin and bones.

Obama, on the other hand, appears to be accurately represented.
