Russian Ad Featuring a Cartoonish Obama Smacks of Racism, Seems a Little Outrageous


What’s your take on this latest Obama picture? His image is being used in international advertising. Seems that there are some racist undertones to me. The idea behind this Russian ad is from Voskhod, for the ice cream bar Duet. At the same time, it takes a dig at President Obama’s popularity. The line “Flavor of the Week” does suggest that Mr. Obama’s popularity was based on little more than fashion.

Please, share your thoughts on the ad.
