I normally don't feature foreign cartoons in my Daily Cartoon feature, but this one stuck out as it were.
Rainer Hachfeld of Neues Deutschland, a national German daily newspaper, drew this in honor of the junior Senator from Illinois's speech at the historic Victory Column in Tiergarten Park in the heart of Berlin today. Police estimates place the size of the crowd at 200,000.
Clearly the Germans are veeerrry impressed with the Senator's attributes and prowess. Oratorically speaking, of course.
Reclining in cheerful repose, the Senator proclaims his trademark campaign refrain, "Yes, We Can!". Suggestively positioned along with Obama is the silhouette of the aforementioned and highly phallic Victory Column.
Defending Senator McCain's honor, I imagine his campaign is currently scrambling to get a similiar photo of the Republican nominee with the Washington Monument in the background. Hopefully they'll get it in the right locale and he won't end up looking like some oddly deformed unicorn. Indeed.
In addition to the obvious anatomical suggestiveness and Obama's body language, what caught my eye was the 70's art house poster style of the cartoon. Admittedly, it looks like something one might have seen in adult magazines of the era or on the wall of one's local lifestyle emporium (read: head shop). I wouldn't be surprised if Larry Flynt himself drew inspiration from it for a porno lampoon of his own in the near future.
This does suggest, though, that should the whole presidential thing not pan out for him, Obama may have a future in the adult entertainment industry. And from the looks of it, a rather significant one at that.
Then again, if you thought the McCain camp was paranoid about the press being in love with Obama before, wait for the uproar once they get a gander at this. There's some bias, for you.
I apologize, dear friends and faithful readers. I just couldn't resist. As I always say, some things are just too damned important to be taken so seriously.
