BARACK OBAMA

Ich Bin Ein Swarthy Voodoo Doll

Here’s a doll of “Onkle Barack,” as crafted by a renowned artisan from Nazi Germany. It only costs 139 Euros, which is like 200 or 300 Ameros, so you all can buy it and sleep with it because you like him so damn much, rotten kids… [Some German Online Store, Spiegel]

    “Präsidentschaftskandidaten”

    HOLY SHIT that’s a long word.

  2. metropolitan says at 2:26 pm, June 10th, 2008

    uhm, that’s not barack. he’s got a flag lapel pin on him!

    I love the procession of the tags. From the beginning to the end, it looks a lot like no matter what, terribly things have been done, and will be done, to the jews. the end.

    It comes with a disproportionately large dildo attachment and a switchblade grip. And if you get it wet after midnight, it instantly produces a lot of babies that you will have to take of. Just keep it away from the cabbage patch display. And it has the ability to jump, unlike its caucasian counterpart.

    Also, it trains your beanie babies to fight to the death, and its makes all your Barbies their bitches.

    (Okay, I’m starting to depress myself with these stereotypes. I need to just walk away from this now.)

    What you talkin’ ’bout, Barry?

  6. Insert tar baby joke here.

  7. Domestic Goddess says at 2:33 pm, June 10th, 2008

    it’s blacker than barry is. made by the GOP and funding Walnuts maybe??

  8. Gopherit v2.0 says at 2:33 pm, June 10th, 2008

    That doll is hardly adequate.

  9. tonashideska says at 2:34 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Is this mcsame’s black child?

  10. HollowBrain says at 2:35 pm, June 10th, 2008

    I bet that doll sure could use a nice Colt 45.

  11. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 2:36 pm, June 10th, 2008

    The Germans obviously had no idea that this was actually McCain’s black baby.

  12. AngryBlakGuy says at 2:37 pm, June 10th, 2008

    …FUKKIN RACIST! That isn’t Barack Obama thats FUKKIN GARY COLEMAN!!!

  13. bitchincamaro says at 2:38 pm, June 10th, 2008

    HollowBrain:
    Beat me to it.

  14. tsunami says at 2:38 pm, June 10th, 2008

    HollowBrain: I bet that doll sure could
    use a nice Colt 45.

    nothing says ghetto president like a 40.

    “Offermann explained that he was forced to adapt an off-the-shelf black doll’s head for his tribute to Obama, which is his first attempt at making a black doll.”

    You don’t say!

  18. Gopherit v2.0 says at 2:40 pm, June 10th, 2008

    I found a picture of the McCain doll they’re selling, too:

  19. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 2:44 pm, June 10th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Come on, they’re german, what do you expect? The only way they can tell the difference between a jew and an italian with their big noses is that cute little patch they make the former wear.

  20. PeteJayhawk v2.0 says at 2:49 pm, June 10th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: It’s really not that complicated; it’s just “Presidencycandidate”.

  21. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:49 pm, June 10th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Seriously Wonkette loves Gary Coleman like the Germans love Hasselhoff.

  22. Lascauxcaveman says at 2:52 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Mr. Mugabe, your Mini Me is ready.

  23. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 2:52 pm, June 10th, 2008

    I understand that the doll has a compass built in, so you can face it toward Mecca and have it pray.

  24. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:53 pm, June 10th, 2008

    PeteJayhawk v2.0: And “Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz”
    means “mad cow disease” apparently. Are all the letters really necessary?

    http://german.about.com/library/weekly/aa010300a.htm (eatshootsleaves has taught me to cite my crap).

  25. Gopherit v2.0 says at 2:54 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: So, are the prayer rug and AK separate accessories?

  26. freakishlystrong says at 2:58 pm, June 10th, 2008

    It’s Sambo-esqe, and they totally fucking missed on the big….EARS….

  27. daneellaw says at 2:59 pm, June 10th, 2008

    The real test will be when you take his pants off. It’s the only way to be certain.

  28. wallythepug says at 3:00 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Nope, the ears aren’t right.

  29. bitbull says at 3:01 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: no, but they are throwing a cabin into the deal!

  30. shortsshortsshorts: It’s actually a law having to do with oversight of potential transmission of mad cow disease. Agglutination FTW.

    Wiki sez:

    “The longest German word verified to be actually in (albeit very limited) use is Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz. [which, literally translated, breaks up into: Rind (cattle) - Fleisch (meat) - Etikettierung(s) (labelling) - Überwachung(s) (supervision) - Aufgaben (duties) - Übertragung(s) (assignment) - Gesetz (law), so "Beef labelling supervision duty assignment law".]“

  31. PeteJayhawk v2.0 says at 3:04 pm, June 10th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: In German, rather than having a phrase to describe something (especially one where the words are connected with hyphens), you just combine all the words of a phrase to create one longass word. Words like that aren’t actually used in conversation, at least not generally.

  32. Obama is a doll, all right, but not this doll.

  33. Gopherit v2.0 says at 3:07 pm, June 10th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts:A little visit to the google translator produces:

    Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz = labelling monitoring tasks transfer law

    So, more likely, it’s the German word for how they prevent Mad Cow from coming into the country, but it’s close. Gotta love how literal they are.

    Rinderwahnsinn is their word for Mad Cow….probably because verruckt Kuh sounds so cute.

  34. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:10 pm, June 10th, 2008

    PeteJayhawk v2.0: AxmxZ: Do you know what is awesome?
    Both of you. That was definitely FTW, and I have actually learned something on a blog, which is undoubtedly unique. Back to “Infowars” for some dumbing down before it’s too late.

  35. WadISay says at 3:11 pm, June 10th, 2008

    McCain is going add these to his website store, 4′ high and holding a red ring, sold as “Lexus Lawn Jockeys.”

  36. 139 eu? What’s it filled with? Crack?

  37. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:19 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: And I’ve already prostrated to you, but see comment to PeteJay and AxmxZ, above

  38. Gopherit v2.0: Verrueckte Kuh… there’s an Angela Merkel joke in here somewhere, I just know it.

  39. vicuna says at 3:29 pm, June 10th, 2008

    A Ken doll with a bicycle would be a vast improvement.

    Here’s a wardrobe, including a courier bag.

  40. TGY: Choom, actually, wrapped in arugula.

  41. vicuna: Accessories include a bike helmet, a dorky polo, and jeans stolen from Barbie after she got too fat for them.

  43. Inadequate Blackmail says at 4:17 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Well, I hope there’s no question about whether Obama-baby is “black enough”…

  44. loquaciousmusic says at 4:24 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Das ist nicht racial transcendance!

  45. StrangelyBrown says at 4:31 pm, June 10th, 2008

    I’m starting to feel pretty vindicated for my earlier published remarks. But this is still par for the course: Germany is stuck in some kind of 1950s race relations hell, and all the stereotypes we used to have in the US are still very much alive over there.

    Here;s a glimpse of their upcoming Michelle Obama doll: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d6/PDVD_002.jpg

  46. Doglessliberal says at 4:36 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Look, this IS Gary Coleman. It really is.
    I bet some weird German bought a truckload of Gary Coleman dolls from some surplus outfit and figured “eh, the Schvartzes all look the same, who will know” and marketed them as Obamas.

  47. Doglessliberal says at 4:40 pm, June 10th, 2008

    the ears are right on this one, but for some reason, he is monotone
    http://www.politicalwobbles.com/Bobbleheads_c_1.html

    (John McCain looks like a conehead)

  48. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 5:00 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: You can buy them seperate, but the best deal is to get the Muslim Jihadist Play House/Bomb Factory set. It comes with everything.

  49. Smoke Filled Roommate says at 9:27 pm, June 10th, 2008

    That’s just scary and wrong.. Does it sing ‘My Mammy’?

  50. graceless says at 9:39 pm, June 10th, 2008

    It’s Webster, with a tan.

  51. schvitzatura says at 9:54 pm, June 10th, 2008

    SchvartzePuppe!

    On that same note, I’m sure the Fourth Reich-ers helped to vote this 300-inspired YTMND to the top of the 300 category:

  52. Constance Bradley says at 12:46 am, June 11th, 2008

    I’ve made dolls … it’s not that hard to get a variety of skin tones for black dolls. Takes a bit longer in the design phase but it’s worth it when you want to do it right.

    But who cares about that when you can make a little mammy type doll to chuckle over with your German friends?

  53. that baby demon doll is terrifying. no joke. that’ll come off the shelf at night and attack you in your sleep.
