Obama ice cream, anyone? "Everyone's talking about it: dark inside white!" Chocolate-vanilla ice cream is one of several Russian products being marketed using the likeness of President Barack Obama.

What others are saying

  • They forgot the nuts
    This product also needs peanuts-
    That way they could market it as "1/2 nuts"

  • ...and the problem is...
    well, if we can't use ice cream ads to make Obama sound anywhere near good, what else can we do?

  • Comment on the Obama ice Cream
    Come on...how far does this PC go...there is nothing racist about what I'm seeing? If it was a white character would that be an issue as well. Stop being so sensitive
