Barack Obama 'monkey' phone advert row - Telegraph
A mobile phone advert apparently portraying Barack Obama as a monkey has provoked a new row about racial depictions of the Democratic candidate.
I presume these are the same people who complained about George Bush being portrayed as a chimp....

"and to defend it by claiming that our current president has been compared to a lesser primate just shows that the promoters flat out don’t get it"
Sigh
