 QUOTE A German frozen food company hopes to raise sales with a new product: Obama fingers. The tender, fried chicken bits come with a tasty curry sauce. The company says it was unaware of the possible racist overtones of the product. Source: http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitge...,612684,00.html |

QUOTE For Americans in Germany, though, there is a risk that the product might be seen as racially insensitive. Fried chicken has long been associated with African-Americans in the US -- naming strips of fried chicken after the first black president could cause some furrowing of brows. I'm normally attuned to things like this and I don't even think it's racist. Chicken fingers ≠ fried chicken. Chicken fingers = kiddie food. And it has curry sauce, I mean come on. They're obviously just capitalizing.Edit: Curry sauce on fries is so f*cking good. |

@Illmortal - I know a lot of people that do that. I think it's so gross. Cold icecream on top of toasty hot fries is not the way to go.
I'd eat these obama fingers |

I'd eat these obama fingers LOL I was exactly the same way. My ex would never eat anything from McDonalds execpt those two things together. I would always call her nasty, until she forced one of them into my mouth... I then became a believer of the McFlurry dipped fries

Ewww McFlurry dipped fries... well, actually, I've never had a McFlurry. But it's still ew. Too bad you're on a diet, Tama.
