As if the New York Post's chimp cartoon wasn't enough.
A Russian ice cream company created this advertisement which is (with much reason)being interpreted as highly racist.
Not only is the ad callously trying to play on the pun of chocolate and vanilla but the title of "Flavor of the Week" also implies that President Obama's popularity is based on trend rather than legitimacy.
Adage.com published an article depicting their own sentiment over the controversial ad.
It's incidents like this one that make me think: Why does anyone think this is funny or even appropriate?
