Is this company out of their freaking mind? I'd be worried that I'd be arrested and possibly beated by secert service.

This is just plain crazy and not in a good way.

Asō's lookalikes have appeared in manga and eroge, while "John Omaha" has become a semi-regular in Air Gear. Just get used to it.

Get a grip. It's just a manga -- and Obama is just a president, not a sacred and inviolable object of holy awe.

Compared to the other figures on such a page, I've noticed Hillary Clinton looks somewhat more stylised.
Then again, that may be desired- this is an erotic manga so... it's best I stop such a chain of thought there.

That was my "WTF" laugh of the day. The Evangelion underpants story is pretty amusing too, in a similarly idiotic/mildly depressing way.

Obama is totally a sacred and inviolable object of holy awe. He's intelligent. He can speak more than three words at a time, AND he pronounces all of them correctly. And he's hot. Can't say much of that about many other recent presidents. Very Happy

That woman is not Hillary Clinton.

She is way too hot.

Which makes me think that she must take part in the ero part of this manga, which is kind of frightening.

You're saying TR wasn't a sexy beast?

She is showing quite a bit of cleavage...

And why does Obama have a dot on his forehead?

He's a good politician for getting people to think this, I guess, but not much else. Confused

As for the manga in and of itself, I think "BARF" is the most eloquent response I can mange in response to the mere concept of it. D: But of course I will forward this to all my friends who are online now. Misery shared is misery halved! Very Happy

And as usual, almost everyone missed the point of my message. Think about it, a eroge manga involving a president. Now how much respect does show about our President? None.

My post was about how disrespectful this is.

It's legal because you can flag it as satire and satire has no restrictions.

In one episode of Yatterman there were two school kids competing for the student council and they were called Obama-kun and Hillary-chan. Search for "Yatterman Obama" on Youtube and you'll find it.

You know, I gotta wonder if the President ever catches wind of these things and what he thinks about them. Though I suspect the WTF!? reaction might be quite probable. Laughing
