There’s a symbolic message in this story, somewhere, I just know it:
A gimmicky snack bearing a caricature of US President Barack Obama making a peace sign has gone on sale in Indonesia, but worried consumer activists are already calling for it to be banned.
The “Obama” snack packet shows a grinning Obama making a peace sign with his right hand and spinning the globe like a basketball on the fingers of his left hand.
Actually, the picture I see shows Obama waving a white flag and pinching the safety pin of a hand grenade.
The Indonesian Consumer Foundation has called on the government to investigate, saying the snack is defamatory to President Obama and potentially harmful to children’s health.
Tsk…we may be witnessing our very first Obama Cult product FAIL.
