Tasteful Germans' tasty Obama snack: Frozen Chicken fingers

A German frozen food company seeking to capitalize on President Obama's popularity recently began marketing a new fried chicken product called "Obama Fingers," sparking outrage from African-Americans on this side of the Atlantic.

"It's racist and inappropriate," declared Councilman Charles Barron (D-Brooklyn), calling for a boycott of the company's products. "We should do all that we can to see to it that no [company] disrespects the first black President."

I just don't like the idea of Germans calling our President chicken. Captain America wouldn't stand for it.

Aaah, I wonder if the product is as tasteless as its concept.
