CommercialClack – Presidential cha-cha-cha Chias!

Presidents as chia pets? I love it! Only in America. In this week's CommercialClack, Tara must go it alone as something quite bizarre has happened to Michael. But don't worry! There's chia pets!

So what do you do when your writing partner emails you and says he’s in a Turkish prison for peddling McRibs on the black market? Well. You say, “Michael, I’m calling Geoffrey Fieger and doing CommercialClack on my own!” Writers must meet deadlines and roll with the punches and all that stuff. I’m sure he’ll be back by next week. Kind of. Hopefully.

So here’s this week’s little ditty. I saw it the other day and about fell out of my comfy chair laughing ….

No, it’s not a joke. But doesn’t it look like an SNL skit? And the line at the end? “Each states: I’m proud to be an American.” Um, not really. I think each kinda states, “I have very tacky taste in home furnishings and questionable ways in which I show my patriotism.”

Poor George Washington! He looks like an ugly woman! Abraham Lincoln, being the genius that he was, is most likely twirling in his grave right now. Or wearing a T-shirt around Heaven that says “I freed the slaves and all I got was a lousy chia pet head.”

The one of President Obama makes me giggle, cause he has more “chia hair” than in reality. But it looks like an unfortunate green ’70s afro.  If you’re thinking of sending me one of these chias for Christmas, the Statue of Liberty is definitely my choice. I’m a sucker for an “ever glowing flame.”

Chias have always been ridiculous. But I think they’ve taken it to a new level. I am very pleased.

Which is your favorite? Or would you rather have a knitting needle poked in your eye than display one?

Tara, these are destined to become timeless gifts no matter the season! I know a few “extreme” Republicans I would LOVE to give the “Obama Chia” to. The only improvement I would make to is to place a small “fist pic” on top of his “fro” when it’s all grown out! I wonder if other countries have these….what would the “Mao Se Tung”, “Queen Mother” or “Pope” Chia’s look like…I also feel “Chia” as a company is missing a huge demographic by not having a “Lady Gaga”, “Justin Bieber”, “Bella/Edward & Jacob” Chia’s. They’re missing out! Giggles….

The Justin Bieber one would be hard to grow. You’d have to keep combing the grass forward. And as for the Pope one … just shame on you Rose ;)

The Pope one can have a Swastika on his head, or make a full body instead of just the the Pope’s hand on some little boys area.

And MERRY XMAS!

Could you put little mirrors all over the head and enter it in Dancing with the Stars?

December 3, 2010 at 7:16 PM

I t would be the coveted “MirrorBallChia!”

I think my mom’s response was, “What the hell?”

Very educational. I never knew old Honest Abe had a ‘fro.

Is it just me or does the Obama Chia Pet look like the love child of Jon Favreau and an Oompa Loompa?
