Don't feel like a voter screwed over. Relax, progressives, you can still be
amorous with your hero. I'm tempted to send these to the folks at MSNBC.
Americans may have fallen out of love with Barack Obama, but the president of the United States is still an object of affection for the Chinese, who have remodelled him as a blow-up sex doll.
A doll wearing a dark blue suit and red tie, and with Mr Obama's face carefully screen-printed onto its head, was exhibited at the recent 8th Sex Culture Festival in the southern city of Guangzhou.
The doll was photographed by Chinese state media nestling behind several other standard plastic female toys.
Mr Obama is widely popular in China, and a "Maobama" t-shirt, bearing an image of his face crossed with a portrait of Chairman Mao, has become a best-seller.
The Guangzhou show, which was only open to adults, cost 30 yuan (£3)to enter and was visited by "tens of thousands" of people, according to a spokesman for the Guangdong Gongchuang Economic Development company, the organisers. One star attraction was a female doll costing 98,000 yuan.
"We do not know which manufacturer produced this doll," the spokesman added.
Not all Chinese are in love with Maobama. Why settle for a poor imitation when you can have the real thing?
"Why can't we have a Mao Tse-tung toy?" asked another.
