GERMAN FRIED CHICKEN
Tender, Juicy Obama Fingers Hit the Shelves

By Charles Hawley
A German frozen food company hopes to raise sales with a new product: Obama fingers. The tender, fried chicken bits come with a tasty curry sauce. The company says it was unaware of the possible racist overtones of the product.

Selling products has, of course, become a bit more difficult than usual these days. No wonder then that companies everywhere are turning to optimistic marketing messages in an effort to counteract the steady drum beat of negativity coming from front page headlines around the globe.

Is that the Golden Gate bridge in the background of that box?

No, that company has no clue about overtones, political, racial, or otherwise... :lol:

Cheap stunt to steal usage of his name to sell food products. Not fair to Obama, but overseas, may be difficult to stop. Hopefully for Obama's sake they're good.
