A gimmicky snack bearing a caricature of US President Barack Obama making a peace sign has gone on sale in Indonesia, but worried consumer activists are already calling for it to be ******.
The "Obama" snack packet shows a grinning Obama making a peace sign with his right hand and spinning the globe like a basketball on the fingers of his left hand.
It also bears a peace symbol and the word "peace," along with a teaser suggesting that if you are lucky you might win a bonus.
The Indonesian Consumer Foundation has called on the government to investigate, saying the snack is defamatory to President Obama and potentially harmful to ********'s health.
"What's the aim of using such an image? It's defamation and the producer should be investigated," Foundation head Indah Suksmaningsih said.
Each 500-rupiah (four-cent) packet of "Obamas" contains a small plastic toy which is "unhygienic" and could be mistaken as food by *******, said foundation legal affairs officer Sularsi, who only uses one name.
"We urge the government to investigate the product, which might have a dubious permit," he said.
"Obamas" hit the streets recently in the West Java city of Bandung.
President Obama lived in the Indonesian capital Jakarta from 1967 to 1971 after his ****** divorced his Kenyan ****** and married an Indonesian man.
This ********* connection -- and his pledge to break with the foreign policy of the Bush administration -- has made him hugely popular in the Southeast Asian country of some 234 million people
