Moscow Anti-Smoking Campaign Uses Obama's Image as Deterrent

Anti-smoking posters in Moscow have used the image of U.S. President Barack Obama smoking to deter smokers -- saying that both he and cigarettes are killers.

The poster has a photoshopped image of the U.S. president and the words: "Smoking kills more people than Obama, although he kills a lot of people. Don't smoke -- don't be like Obama."

Russian State Duma opposition deputy Dmitry Gudkov published a photograph of the bus stop poster on Facebook, adding a Soviet joke about freedom of speech in the United States versus the Soviet Union -- essentially, Soviet citizens were free to criticize U.S. presidents while standing in Red Square.

Better hope the street department in those areas is efficient. The constant pukers of people that find this sign repugnant are going to make a mess.

For a good laugh google search “russian posters of Obama.”

I like the one of him on the couch from the old days better.

Other photos from that room make me wonder if he wasn’t hooking up for the other team that day.

The guy is just downright creepy.

If I’m not mistaken Russia has one of the highest %’s per capita of smokers of anywhere in the world.

His image may deter smoking, but it makes me want to drink.

But Obama quit! Or maybe not.

How 'bout "cozy with Reggie"

Hillary with a cigarette would work better.

Reggie’s body language seems to be saying, Get Away!

They are very defensive postures.

I'm telling you Reggie, nobody will ever know....

That’s not a cigarette!

"Mr. Putin, what do you think of President Obama?"

The homos are giggling like little girls who have a secret, saying to themselves “If only America knew that just 15 minutes ago we were getting stoned and making out with each other”

Wow, the top photo is really creepy!

[apocalypto]

You have to admit, the Russians really have Barky’s number. They know exactly what he is.
