2008 / Sex Obama Hubris Watch

Posted by Dan Savage on Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 8:00 AM

I don't have a problem with someone selling Obama dildos—someone should check with Michelle—but let's refrain from marketing the thing as the "Head O State" dildo until after Obama is elected.

The perfect gift for my conservative friends. Gift tag reads: Spread your legs, close your eyes. Get ready for a big surprise!

And so we see our gravitas and prudence make their exit, at last, even the dildo market. Pray for America.

Where's the McCain Butt Plug? Equal Time dammit!

McCain can plug the upcoming porno, "Nailin' Palin."

That's just creepy.

Why is it shit brown?

It's wrong. This is your highest office, and this is the respect it commands? It's just wrong. And by the way, where's the George W. Bush version? Now he truly is a dildo. That would have been more appropriate.

At first glance, I thought this was a Chia Pet.

Oh, my bad. Apparently there is a George Bush butt plug coming soon. http://headostate.com Well, okay then.

horrifying. i don't want any sort of person-shaped item in my orifi, regardless of who it is or their presidential status.

but will it be ready at 3am?

Geez - that thing looks painful. Too many sharp edges, not nearly as smooth as the real thing.

I agree bohica. The shoulders would give me a real "Whoa!!"

Posted by Chris on October 15, 2008 at 10:38 AM

Um, creepy. @8: bad idea. I would be instantly turned-off if George Bush came anywhere near me or my vagina.

DildObama!

Unlike your man, it's always Barack hard.

I honestly can't tell if this is supposed to be a pro-Obama or anti-Obama item. Both? Neither? Obviously, it's in appallingly bad taste no matter what, but I can't decide which would be worst. I guess the *best* case scenario is that the manufacturers are politically neutral and just cashing in.
