‘CHIA’ OBAMA???

Here’s one that can be immediately and officially filed under “HAS SOMEONE LOST THEIR DAMNED MIND???”

`

Obama-Mania has been off the charts throughout the presidential election, and the Obama “brand” has been a recession buster.  Anyone with a t-shirt, plate, mug, poster, or you name it has made a cool mint off sales of their items — so long as the name and/or likeness of Barack Obama appeared on it.  Even a few fast food restaurants took the plunge and renamed themselves OBAMA FRIED CHICKEN (stupid!). It was guaranteed instant cash.  Well apparently the makers of the CHIA PET got the memo there was money to be made, so last week they jumped on the bandwagon with a (and I hope you’re sitting down for this) CHIA OBAMA HEAD.  HUH???

`

Billed as a serious “special edition” product that was supposedly meant to COMMEMORATE the first African-American President of the United States, the “cha-cha-cha-Chia” people began marketing the Obama head that sprouts a green “Chia afro.”  But when consumers complained citing the Chia head was not only a total disrespect to the honor and dignity of the office of the presidency, but also presented a slight racist perception, the company reluctantly pulled the product from store shelves. Apparently the company executives who dreamed up this outrageous idea must have “Chia” for brains.  Unbelievable!
