Behold the Chia Obama

Wasn’t the Age of Obama supposed to usher in a new era of high-mindedness and an end to vapid consumerism? Unfortunately, it isn’t turning out that way.

First it was the Obama Victory Plate, and now it’s the Chia Obama, which has apparently been pulled from Walgreens shelves because some people think the President’s Chia Hair looks like an afro, thus making it racially insensitive:

Of course, the real scandal isn’t racial insensitivity. It’s that the advertising makes it appear as though Chia Obama will represent all follicles across the entire head, but once you purchase the product, you find out that only the far-left side sprouts any Chia.

Yes, the commercialization of Barack Obama’s victory is getting insane. I haven’t seen the chia pet thingy before, but that’s just jive! What’s next Obama hair care products. I mean the T-shirts were cool because I’m still looking for mine, but the dolls, china plates, the coins is a little over the top. Hell, let the guy finish his first term before we crown him…

ps, I did vote for Obama
