MOSCOW (Reuters) – A Russian advertising agency has used an image resembling U.S. President Barack Obama to promote a new vanilla-and-chocolate ice cream, drawing the ire of human rights groups who said the ad was vulgar.

Ice Cream Plant No. 3 in the Urals city of Yekaterinburg launched last week a new brand named "Duet."

The poster features a computer-generated caricature of a broadly smiling figure resembling Obama standing in front of the U.S. Congress with the ice cream in the foreground.

The strapline reads: "It's on everyone's lips -- the Dark is in the White!"

Go for it, Russia. The Obamaloon deserves so, so much more derision and disrespect than he’s presently getting. Oh, you can have him after we run him out of the country in a few months.

That’ll get the thinned skinned one and his minions howling LOL. I think it is quite clever, although I thought it would reference his heritage, not his living in the WH.
