A Russian advertising company has been heavily criticized for creating a racist ice-cream advert featuring Barack Obama, SkyNews reported.
The advert for the Duet chocolate and vanilla bar shows Obama standing in front of the US Capitol Building with the slogan “The Flavor of the Week – Black in White.” The ad appeared at the Ads of the World website and spurred waves of protests, with one blogger asking, “Is the ice cream as tasteless as the ad?”
According to SkyNews, the Voskhod (Sunrise) company, which produced the advert, has defended itself, saying the image is not consciously or unconsciously racist, "We see nothing wrong with this... We believe pointing to race is not racism. With our ad we are celebrating the fact there is a black president in the White House."

I love the ears...
The ears are cute . Suppose some
ReplyDeletepeople were thinking it was against
the black race. As for the yellow
snow???????? The eruption came
at a good time. Thankfully your
dogs got out ahead of the big
splurge. They didn't need ash
to contend with, think they had
enough problems as it was.Maybe
you and Steve could enter next
year? That would be something to
think about.
