Jan 24 2009Wow, Just Wow: Chia Obama Heads

Chia Obama comes in both "determined" and "happy" poses, costs $20, and is probably the worst way to "honor" a president I can think of.
Hit the jump for a comparison of the two poses.

Thanks to Dan, who once tried growing weed in a Chia Sheep but got the cops called on him.

6. Oscar Wilde - January 24, 2009 3:37 PM
But ANYTHING Obama will sell for big bucks in the not-so-near future.
7. Oscar Wilde - January 24, 2009 3:42 PM
Yeah.
8. Tricky Ricky - January 24, 2009 3:52 PM
No No No..they've gone too far...and to think yesterday while cleaning out the car I realized that my black floor mats look more like Obamas hair then the chia pet thingy...

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max called a girls basketball team Nappy Headed Ho's. They didn't care but there was a firestorm of public indignation. Eventually Max got his rdio show back, but he had a long vacation and had to accept more money for the same show when he returned to the air.

This is straight wrong.... And very, very funny!
#9 - Nice one...

This is no worse than the Malia and Sasha beanie babies, or the Obama coins that's advertised on every freakin channel.
It's just people soliciting him for cash.
I'm surprised they didn't have one of these for Bush.
12. AdamYYZ - January 24, 2009 4:17 PM
Determined and happy? More like stoned and really stoned. Maybe he's determined to cure the munchies.
13. Dr.Known - January 24, 2009 4:20 PM
How ghey. This is gheyer than Scott Klose on fire island during the national vaseline day parade
14. FRIST!!!!!11!1!1 - January 24, 2009 4:26 PM
tIf you don't buy these you are racist.
15. theophany - January 24, 2009 4:37 PM
HAIL TO THE CH- CH- CH- CHIEF !
16. Eye-rrrr-ish - January 24, 2009 7:13 PM
I don't know about you, but I think the "Happy" bust would scare me in the middle of the night.
17. Anita Bath - January 24, 2009 7:31 PM
@11: these are all for bush—what do you think that green thing is growing on the top? I never realised Obama has such serious crows' feet… is this Obama or Mandela?
18. Henree - January 25, 2009 12:00 AM
i love Daisy and her comments.
19. Spam Artist - January 25, 2009 3:32 AM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete phosphorous job. You can tell its a bake because the shadow's are all strong.
This is a mesmerising trick copy of a scene from the movie Tender Dracula where one of the drunken overdubbed make up artists finds a golden ticket and visits a factory full of midget B.A. Baracus Hussein Obama Bin Laden chia pets.
He is later sucked up a chocolate chute, and decides to ignore the freudian imagery.
20. Robyn - January 25, 2009 5:30 AM
Shit, wasn't the first Chia pet a sheep or something? So the first black prez has sheep-like hair?
Am I the only one who's noted how racist that is?
21. South Coast Sean - January 25, 2009 7:48 AM
@20 yes you are the only one....now go play in the road.
22. SplishSplash - January 25, 2009 10:32 AM
@19-SpamArtist.........wow Tender Dracula huh? That movie rocked in its suckiness, can't believe anyone else saw it.
The happy one is scary as hell, it reminds me of IT. And it looks nothing like Obama. I would have to say having a Chia pet made after you is pretty damn insulting.
23. softlicious - January 25, 2009 12:02 PM
Hey you guys, complaining that it doesn't have any likeness. You probably havn't seen Obama in the morning. You need to see him before he puts all his makeup on, a lot of famous people look different without makeup. Has anyone noticed that although Obama is 50% nigger, his skin does seem to have a rather pale complexion. That's because he powders himself every morning, he doesn't want to loose voters on account of beeing to black, just black enough to get unemployed people from the "street" to vote on him. Chia Obama Heads comes with it's own makeup kit, if you apply the makeup kit (there are instruction manuals, it takes 3-5 hours for an layman to do) you can make your Obama head look like the Obama you see in the TV. Btw, keep what I've said between you and me, black history month is comming and no one can say anything bad about Obama before black history month. Btw, the number of url's you can put seems to be 2, not 3.

.... Why is it that all Chiapets are special limited edition? Don't they have one constantly-selling edition? xDDD
25. marley - January 25, 2009 3:36 PM
softlicious, you are a dumb dyke-y piece of shit.
i am 50% nigger, as you so eloquently put it, and i f***ing guarantee my skin is paler as yours. my god, i actually thought it was just a myth to be that god damn stupid.
26. softlicious - January 26, 2009 5:24 AM
Hi Marley!
I wouldn't get mad if you called me caucasian. I'm just pointing out that this whole election had a racial dimension. Most black people voted for Obama, even though Abraham Lincoln was a republican. If most white people had voted on McCain they would have been called racists, that's a double standard. Where I come from nigger isn't a bad word, and it can be used to distunguish niggers from for instance aborigines, who are also black. And you can't use the word african, if what you mean is black, because not all races who live in Africa are black. Let's reconquer the word "nigger" and use it only in good contexts, what use is it to have a vocabulary if I'm not allowed to use it? Nigger use the word nigger all the time: Yo! Wazup up my nigger bro?

31. J Collins - May 3, 2009 12:49 PM
This is innappropriate, and I would be offended by it if it weren't so ridiculous and funny also. It's not fake! There are TV commercials for it.
32. mickey - June 10, 2009 12:14 AM
