Chia Obama, pulled from Walgreens. Hmmmmm.
« on: April 04, 2009, 04:03:12 PM »
Walgreens, the exclusive seller of Chia Pets, and also headquartered in, you guessed it, Illinois, has stopped selling the Chia Obama.

Damn,....I would have Miracle-Gro and make it look like Jimi Hendrix,.. :P

'Chia Obama' booted from
local stores

TAMPA - Some local Walgreen's stores are pulling a supposed likeness of President Barack Obama off their shelves. The 'Chia Obama' will no longer be sold there.

Walgreen's spokesman Michael Polzin explained to FOX 13 that local store managers have the ability to purchase and market products -- like the Chia Obama -- on their own.

But now, the corporate office has asked stores to pull the product from their stores because, he said, it is not appropriate for the company's corporate image.

The Chia Obama is a version of the Chia Pet line, which features a ceramic figure upon which fresh greens are planted and allowed to grow, filling out the likeness of the subject.

Why did they (Walgreens) stock so many? Why did they PAY extra to be the exclusive seller?

Think someone FROM Ill. in a certain Presidential Party (Rahm Emanuel), might have "leaned" on corporate to make it go away?

Capitalism, Free Market Economy, Socialism at its finest.....

Of course you would then have had:
A. A chia pet
B. A statue of Obama
Both of these things would have gone on display in your home. Do you not have guests?
