Have you looked at the box? There is a video clip I suppose I should post (see below). On the back he is in a sombrero erasing the US-Mexican border with a giant eraser. On the top he is a in a turban and the box says "point toward Mecca for best flavor." On one side there are rap lyrics that I would think mock black culture in a pretty severe way...No, just satire.
But I guess it is satire, I mean it is tasteless and mocks several cultures, particularly blacks, but surely not racist. Just in terrible taste.
Eh whatever, I am sure if it were 2000 and someone on the right were selling a Joe Liberman piggy bank with lots of commentary about how cheap Jews and pork that would just be satire as well. and surely no one would care.
Definately racism. They depicted Obama as a black guy! Assholes!

I didn't think it was funny. I wasn't offended in the slightest by it, but then again, I am not offended by much.
ReplyDeleteLiberman... hehehe... now that guy's a joke I can laugh at!
