We're so uptight. The Russians know how to advertise. And since they probably don't have Oreos...
This handout from Russian advertising agency Voskhod shows a smiling, cartoonish black man flashing the victory sign in front of the US capital building, along with the Russian slogan: "Everyone's talking about it: dark inside white!" Obama ice cream, anyone? Chocolate-vanilla ice cream is one of several Russian products being marketed using Obama even as critics call the ads racist.
It's all about getting that press, see. Good? Bad? Who cares?
Side note: said press seems after all to occasionally remember that that's the victory sign, not just peace.
Via CapLion.
