Cute Little Obongo Doll Sparks Outrage

[CT Wolf]

http://www.chimpout.com/forum/%5BIMG%5Dhttp://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh9/CT_Wolf/sockobama.jpg%5B/IMG%5D[quote]A West Jordan, Utah entrepreneurial couple, David J. and Elizabeth A. Lawson, have stirred up considerable controversy over their latest creation. It seems like it's "politically incorrect". A number of people are crying about so-called "racism", according to primary stories published in the Desert News and the Salt Lake Tribune and aired on KTVX Channel 4.

The creation? A Barack Obama doll (shown above left). And, according to the Sockobama website, the motives of the Lawsons are anything but racist. Indeed, the Lawsons present three reasons why they're marketing the doll. First, to provide a "cute and cuddly toy" for the Obama fans. They explicitly state they are proud of Obama's achievements. Second, to introduce young children to the political process and to a successful man in American history. And finally, to create presidential election memorabilia.

That's niggers for you. A simple doll for kids and collectors gets turned into "raycizm" because the doll is a monkey. While that is hilarious and very true of Obongo, niggers and niggerlovers should stop whining for once.

"Of course, this might go down a bit easier if the doll didn't have a TAIL."

:lol :lol

Now that's funny! As you can see from my new avatar.

I'm sure the makes of the doll would be honored to know you are using the little fellow as your avatar.
Be sure and let them know once their site is back up.

That's just too damn funny!

I may have to order a few of those dolls and give them out to friends!

When a nigger is offended, an angel earns it's wings!

It looks like the people behind the Obongo doll have succumed to political pressure, they are not selling the dolls anymore.

These guys (http://voice-of-deseret.blogspot.com/2008/06/utah-marketers-of-obama-sock-puppet.html) have been following the story and have some good commentary.

Well, I'm offended by Barbie, I mean after all, she is perfectly proportioned, lives an absolutely incredible life style, I mean, she's a vet, a model, a doctor, a flight attendant, a Disney Princess, and she has accessories that I can only dream of!!!!! Plus, she has a pony and a pool!!

She has kick ass clothes and she has not aged a day since circa 1959!! Plus, gorgeous Ken!!

So I don't wanna hear it!!!

Barbie has the proportions of Dolly Parton. I suppose that's perfect to some people.

[Bruiser]

As expected, the usual suspects are already chimping out.

That was funny.

In the video a woman says "comparing blacks to monkeys is just wrong."
I'm very sure that calling niggers "monkeys" is offensive- to the monkeys...

Well we didn't get to see them roll out stage 2 of marketing, such as crack pipe, limo, queer limo driver, racist spiritual advisor, etc all this could have been avoided if they knew about violating the Obama trademark tail. Damn shame.
