PHOTOS Oba Mao
:shrug:



A tourist is reflected in the window of a shop displaying shirts and pouches bearing an image U.S. President Barack Obama's face imprinted over that of China's late leader Mao Zedong, in the popular tourist area of Houhai in central Beijing September 21, 2009. The shop has sold thousands of products bearing the "Oba Mao" design since stocks arrived just over a month ago, the shop owner said.

16. Wha??? You didn't know Mao had VDs? Liked his mistresses too.
and he washed his teeth only in tea.

And no. I am quite sure that doesn't say "Now without syphilis".

9. My guess is they aren't selling many items.
Obama is a favorite around the world and I doubt most teabaggers have a passport

15. I just got back...
Edited on Mon Sep-21-09 03:27 PM by LoKnLoD
I just got back from the Philippines and almost everyone I talked to from a waiter at Hong Kong airport to people in the mall in the Philippines always opened a conversation with a question about Obama... "Do you like Obama" , "Is Obama a good man?", "Did you support Obama?"

5. Pick your Obama.
The juxtaposition of that Superman keychain in the top photo makes a lot of sense.
