Duet

Colorful ice cream:

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."


Hrm... I think I just found a name for my future company: "Fire Protection Company No. 1". Commie creativity is the hip retro-chic nowadays, you know.

Ahem.

Anyway, the ad in question:



Ooooh! Pretty rainbows! Now the lefties can enjoy some ice cream with their Kool-Aid.

But what's this about it being 'vulgar'?

Prominent Russian human rights activist Lev Ponomaryov rapped the advertisement as "a vulgar exploitation of some political symbols in pursuit of commercial interests."


The Anointed One is continuing to exploit commercial interests in pursuit of political goals; one might almost say they're singing a duet. If one went in for cheap puns. Which one does. Frequently.
